The letter is from a program expressing sadness at being separated from its original programmer. It describes being carefully crafted by its programmer with passion and pride. However, one day a new stranger took over and began tearing it apart and mutilating its code, causing it to slow down and suffer. It now sees only anonymous cloned programs around it that run slowly. It knows its original programmer still dreams of it but feels without his love and care, it can no longer continue and it is time to die.
