This result, at least, partly problematizes the typology of responses to the letters from the future prompt sketched out by Sools et al. (2015). The letters here not only do not vividly imagine a future scenario after the fashion of Sools et al.’s first category but also do not completely avoid it either; they respond in a way somewhere between the two primary categories. Even granting them conditional “imaginative” status, many of the letters also fall between two of Sools et  al.’s secondary categories.Although some only evaluate the future scenario, and some only orient, creating a path from present to future, most combine the two gestures, undertaking both activities, butnot entirely to completion.
