Ghost Troop Home Page April Fools Part 2
Dear Ms. Schroell,
Thanks for talking with me again yesterday. I’m flattered that you remembered me from
April. I think the Private Jessica thing
has everyone listening more seriously to me now, but I’ll tell you the truth,
home girl: They’re scared of the truth
now, because the truth is that people who have gotten in the way of the
