Linda Thompson

Linda Thompson (Thompson written with a red pen.)

Linda Thompson is a minor character in *The Walten Files*. She has yet to appear on-screen, but her diary reveals a lot about Felix's character.

## History

Linda Thompson and Felix Kranken began dating at an unknown date and later married. She began to notice that his drinking was increasing around October 30, 1964 and stated she was worried for him. She moved in with him in August of 1965. On December 25, 1970, she describes how Jack and Felix made Rocket for Edd and Molly and notes that Felix had drank heavily the previous day. Linda stated in her January 3, 1973 entry that Felix's drinking had continued to worsen and was straining their relationship, stating that "he is so submerged with their project that he doesn't realize how much damage he is doing to himself, how much damage he is doing to me". This lead to Linda's decision to leave their home and to part ways with Felix on May 2, 1974. She referenced an argument the two had a week prior and said that their relationship had never been healthy. She then left for Hurricane.

## Diary

These are her diary entries from Bunnyfarm

### October 30th, 1964 (First Entry)

Felix has been acting very weird lately. He's been drinking more than usual. I am very worried about him. I don't know what to do. He came home at 4 AM, he was crying, he seemed very unstable and stressed. I don't know what to do

### August 23, 1965

I know I haven't talked here as much as I used to. This month has been so so so so crazy, I moved in with Felix last week, he was very happy about it. Yesterday, Jack and Rose had their third child. A little girl! Her name is Molly, Molly Walten. Jack and Felix have been pitching up the "restaurant idea" with a company that's interested in the project. The name's "Cyberfun Tech"

### December 26, 1970

Christmas was nice, they built a doll, a gray rabbit, for Edd and Molly, Molly named it Rocket. Felix drank a lot yesterday. This has been a problem for a while. He is a good person but he doesn't wanna address this. It's getting worse and worse but he doesn't notice, he feels bad about it but doesn't try to change.

### January 3rd, 1973

It's getting worse, he's so submerged with their project that he doesn't realize how much damage he's doing to himself, how much damage he's doing to me. He keeps going places only to drink, sometimes he even stays at the warehouse for the sole purpose of drinking, he doesn't listen, he never listens, I don't know what to do

### May 2nd, 1974 (Last Entry)

DEAR FELIX: by the time you're reading this. I shouldn't be home. I know you're confused, I'm confused too. what you said to me last week hurt me a lot but it opened my eyes. Hopefully, this opens your eyes too. our relationship isn't healthy, it never was. I'm leaving Brighton this morning. You're in the warehouse with Jack and the others as I'm writing this. By the time you're reading this, I'll already be in Hurricane. I know that you are busy doing Jack a favor (something related to a school party. I can't remember) But please go there when you have the time. As to me, I'll try to build my own life while I still can, you should do that too.

I love you

Goodbye

-Linda
