Excerpt:
Three major things will happen to me over the course of the coming year. I\\u2019ll meet someone. I\\u2019ll think he\\u2019s wonderful. He won\\u2019t be. That\\u2019s the first thing. Second, I\\u2019ll break my arm in a cowardly attempt to flee from my own responsibilities. And third, I\\u2019ll serve on the crew of the most extravagant ship to ever sail the nine seas, the Glorious.

How do I know these things will happen?

Because I told myself they would in a letter\\u2026

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. A woman with short hair and wearing colorful business attire, seen from mid-thigh up, facing forward, turned to the left, holding a baby cradled in her right arm. Her left arm is in a sling. The baby is facing the woman and reaches up with the right hand to her nose. The two are translucent so that most of the words from a magnified view of a handwritten letter behind the woman and baby are visible. The visible writing on the letter reads as follows (the ellipsis representing obscured words): \\u201cDear me of the future, I am hoping that\\u2026you read this, you\\u2019ve enjoyed a calm\\u2026year\\u2014with no broken bones to speak of, the opposite of the year I\\u2019ve had. You remember, don\\u2019t you? I hustled my butt off during pilot season. No luck there and nothing really happened until April when I [crossed out letters] Marvin. Then everything started happening at once. I want to start at the end\\u2026The Glorious.\\u201d\\xa0 There is a hand holding a fountain pen whose edge is still forming the letter \\u201cs\\u201d on the word \\u201cglorious.\\u201d The letter is written in all capitals.
