Tynoffer Common No. 4

Correspondence from the Master's servant

Tynoffer Common. Serenity.

Correspondence from the desk of Raeford Morton Renfield, Servant to the Master.
Re: Complaint of exclusionary practices

Sir,

I write to express my Master’s deepest distress at the characterization of the Undead in your recent correspondence regarding the Master’s desire to construct a small shed in a remote section of Tynoffer Common.

Your attempt to dismiss the proposal by casting all Undead entities as non-indigenous and therefore not worthy of inclusion into the Commons is disturbing and disrespectful.

The Undead, if they exist, are as much a part of the Commons as the grubs, the spiders, the fish and the bison.

Your comments paint all Undead as unwanted trash, belonging to no particular time or place.

It is disheartening we have not moved beyond the negative stereotypes forged 200 years ago in the oppression of fundamentalist Christian thought.

Also, there is no such thing as the Undead.

Yours in service,

Raeford Renfield
