It's an extremely busy day at the Ray house as the two oldest boys Daniel and Thomas have the day off from school for teachers meetings and the twins Frank and Tiffany Rose are back from grandma's house. Danny Ray is sitting on the living room floor playing with wrestling figure with the four kids. Daniel always has to play with Macho Man Randy Savage as Thomas loves Dean Ambrose, the twins play with whatever they can get their hands on as Danny Ray uses Mick Foley. Amanda comes in the house from checking the mail, Danny Ray can see the excitement yet strange worry on her face as she's staring at an envelope.Danny Ray stands up and walks over to her to see what she is looking at, he can see it's addressed to him but her thumb is covering the return address. As she hands him the envelope he can now see it's from El Cazador. The Family Man whispers to his wife that he will be in the basement at his desk for a little while and he will be back up when he is done, she nods and gives him a kiss on the cheek before he heads down to the basement.
Danny Ray slowly walks down the steps as he tries to open the letter when he reaches his desk he finally has the letter out and sits down as he reads the words typed on the page. The Family Man sit's there reading the letter over and over as to study the words typed on the page, as he lays the letter down he takes the cloth cover off of an old typewriter sitting on the desk. Danny Ray pulls some paper out from the bottom desk drawer and slides a shet into the typewriter as he prepares to type. The low hanging single bulb light is the only source of light in the basement, the only sounds you can hear is from the typewriter being used and the water heater kicking on and off.
(The letter read as such)
Dear Sebastian, October 19, 2017, 5:22 pm
Sebastian, I am so glad you reached out to me, I know there is more to you than the darkness you claim. See if that scared kid you claim is long gone was actually gone you wouldn't have reached out to me. I know you see me as just some fake and as weak but let me explain something to you, Sebastian, I am an honest man and no I'm not lying to myself or anyone else. You see I choose to live a certain way and in order to do that I have to do and act the way I need to that isn't lying it's called being a man.
You say I can be so much more, that I have this dark potential, that your mask sees it too. I am sorry to tell you this but there is no dark inside me the light of God has driven all the darkness away years ago. Sebastian speaking of potential I see so much great potential inside of you. You could be an amazing role model for young men and boys if you would just let the anger go. Allow the darkness to fade away and embrace the light. Sebastian allow me to help you I can show you the way to happiness, I have learned throughout the years and throughout all of my trials and tribulations that I can overcome anything.
El Cazador you claim I hide my true self from my family from my fans and from myself, but how can I hide something that is out in the open. People see what they want to see I just give them the tools to see it. It sounds like you doubt I'm a man of God, you ask who's my God to a nonbeliever. We all have a God, even the nonbeliever you may claim you don't believe in a God but there is something in your life acting as your God. Whether it be money, food, women or your Mask El Cazador. See I don't force my beliefs upon anyone I simply offer my opinion and knowledge to those willing to listen.
You question me on whether or not I'm a real family man, you say if I was the man I claim I would get a job closer to my family. Let me explain this to you I do what I do to support my family I raise my children to the best of my ability, I support and love my wife without regards to my own self-preservation. You tell me to watch who I offer my hand to that they might rip it off, that's the chance I'm willing to take to help someone in need. As for my children and my wife well let someone come near them and they will be begging for God and they will see the light before I am done with them. That's all I will say about that!!!!!
A GOD you say, even a SUPERHERO, a GREAT WRESTLER all that is just a title I don't want to be a God, nor a superhero and I'm happy with just being a wrestler great or not. You see in life people put to much time and thought into names and titles all I want is to be happy and to be able to provide for my family so they are happy. The act you claim I'm putting on isn't an act and it is not bonding me, I am only limited by my own imagination, Sebastian, you see my dear friend as long as I believe I can do something there's no stopping me, no bondage. That's why come our fatal four-way match there will be no holding me back Sebastian I will be the next AWF Prestige Class Champion. You said I will see the glory that is you, Sebastian in order for me to see your glory you must first cut the ropes that bind's your greatness and see your own glory the darkness you cherish so much has hindered your ability to move forward.
I agree with you on one thing Sebastian you are a force of nature, but at the moment it's nothing more than a soft spring shower on a chilly afternoon. You are right everyman has his secrets but let me assure you my family knows mine and like I said to you before "be careful about what you wish for". Let me help you become the man of greatness you so long to be, allow me to help you escape the dark hold your mask has on you.
You say there is no honor left to be had, I disagree there is always a reason to have honor even if it's just for your own personal well being. You say you long for death I think everyone does in one way or another but it's how we deal with the time we are alive that counts towards our success. Give me a chance to show you that there is much more to life than the search for death. You said you have no family that your family is long gone, that's not true I am your brother in life and my family can and will be yours too, so accept my offer and come have dinner with us, be an uncle to my four beautiful children. I see the good in you, Sebastian, I love you like a brother Sebastian I will end this letter with that and give you a chance to think about what I have said. Just remember "It's always darkest before the dawn".
Your Brother In Life
Danny Ray
PS: My offer still stands!!!!
The Family Man removes the letter from the typewriter and places it in a pre-stamped envelope and addresses it to Sebastian before heading up the steps and out the back door down to the mailbox to mail the letter. Danny Ray is smiling as the kids come out the front door wanting to play with there daddy in the front yard.
