avery champney. 18. temporary mystic falls resident. this town means nothing to me. anyway, i rolled up a few newspaper articles and magazines for you to look through. doubt any paper copies of anything will still be sold whenever this gets opened, so that’s something. but that isn’t why i chose to add this in there. i’m avery champney and i am a nonbinary person of color, and in these magazines and newspapers you will find sexism, trans and homophobia. you will find women pitting another woman against another woman, who wore it better? because we don’t empower each other, we tear each other down here in september 2009. you will find stories of death and dying and killing and murder, of children and women and nerds and activists and people of color. you will find white washing, white privilege, sexual objectification and ableism of the mentally ill, of the mentally and physically disabled. you will find the smell and feel of paper that contributed to depriving our earth of oxygen to sell us lies and toxic mindsets. this is where we’re at right now. do better.

Dear Future Residents of Mystic Falls, 

My whole life has been in Mystic Falls. I was born and raised here and for that whole time I’ve dreamed of escaping. Here everyone thinks they know everything about me. I’m the child of my mother’s one night stand, I’m the reason my parents marriage is failing and I’m the girl who goes unloved. I hate being her more then anything. I am sick and tired of being alone. As a kid this locket was the one thing that gave me hope, after all it was the only thing I have that connects me to my biological father. I used to dream that he’d come and take me from this shit hole but now I’m still just standing here. So I decided to burry it and leave it to rot in the ground, he hasn’t been here and I don’t need that reminder. 

Sincerely, 

To Whom It May Concern,   

Blaise and Thea Harman.  17.  We’ll spare you the whole boring background nonesense.   Rather then staying with good ol’grandma who owns a little flower shop but who knows how long that’ll last.  Mystic Falls is an utterly boring town and we have no connection.  Were not really into the whole sentimental thing but who doesn’t like shrunken heads.  Is it real ? Fake ?  Maybe you should investigate.  BUT what ever you do - don’t open it.  Or do.  But you might not like what you find inside.

XOXO

i am eden, at least for now. my age doesn’t matter & won’t matter, because by the time this stupid time capsule is open, i will not be gone, i will not have aged. i will be wherever i want to be, doing whatever will make me happy. for incentive to reach this goal, i have secured my most prized possession, my notebook. for years i have been filling it with photos and words and memories. the good, the bad, the worst, the best. i will have them back, because i will live forever. one day, when this opens, i will relive said memories, words, and photos, and i will feel something again. until then, have my pulsing veins and deepest desires.

my name is matt donovan, i’m seventeen years old. i’ve been in mystic falls each of those years, i don’t even remember traveling far out of town. i don’t see myself leaving, either. here’s a football, it’s nothing special. it’s not signed or my first football ever or anything. i just googled stuff to put in a time capsule. sorry.
