Dear Mama,

How are you? It has been a while since my last letter. I have been well since I last wrote. Podge is getting much bigger! She is no longer as rollie pollie as she was, but still quite adorable and loving. Right now, she's curled in my lap purring like a tiny car motor.

Something unusual happened today, mama. When I was leaving for work this morning, I stumbled upon an unusual looking glass ball resting on my lawn. It was storming fairly badly, and even as I stood and watched a bolt of lighting seemed to strike the orb - though I could have sworn the bolt originated from it and rose towards the sky.

Even so, I took the thing inside and dried it, figuring I would put it in the garden as decoration. Podge seems to be afraid of it for some reason, so I placed it in my bedroom for the time being. When I returned home from work, somehow it had ended up at my front door, and there was an odd singe mark on the wall.

Podge has been hiding in her room every time I move the orb. I must admit, it gives me an odd feeling as well...

With Much Love,
