Third-Person Sample:

Ollie-

You’re probably freaking out right now thinking you’re getting a letter from a dead man and in a way you are I guess. A funny thing happened on the way to dying… yeah, yeah I can already see you rolling your eyes at my attempt at humor. Give a dead guy a break okay? All joking aside, I should hate you. I know that in my head. I mean, come on, you lied to me and you stole my girl… again. I love her Ollie, but you knew that. What I am trying to figure the fuck out, is if you knew that and screwed me over anyway or if you were just playing a part just like me?

I am going to choose to believe that it was an act because the other option would send me into therapy for years. As if finding out you were the Hood and my Dad was the Dark Archer wasn’t bad enough… (insert laugh here) A man named Eli came to me after you left me, I am pretty sure I was dead or almost dead at that point, but he offered me a second chance, Ollie. One that is free of the bull shit that is currently Starling City. One were I can get my head on straight and figure some shit out. I need to figure out the shit show that is the relationship with my father because I do believe that somewhere deep inside, the man that raised me until I was nine is still in there.

It’s hard to reconcile a fucked up past with a fucked up present, especially when the people that mean the most to you lie to your face for months and almost get you killed.

I will forgive you Ollie, no choice… you are my best friend. Maybe when I understand a little better we can talk again.
