“Oi, y’ve a visitor.”
The light burns me because the darkness is where I’ve slept for the last…I don’t know how many days? Months? I’ve lost count.
I’ve no windows, just a door and concrete walls. Where I was sent is not a normal prison. I’m locked away with a cesspool of degenerates, ensuring I pay for my crimes in the most heinous of ways. This tiny cell has become my home, where a monster has found solace in silence. Claustrophobia doesn’t bother me anymore.
The day I surrendered was the day I let go of my humanity and succumbed to the demons. They were always going to win. This was always my fate.
I didn’t want a trial. I admitted to everything, confessed to the crimes I did commit. Chief Constable Moore warned me of the repercussions, but I didn’t need a lecture—I knew I was going away for a very long time.
Not only did I have the drug distribution charge, but the trail of dead bodies had the judge punishing me in ways I wanted. I will never see the light of day again.
But I don’t think about the past. I don’t want to. I don’t want to reminisce on the good ole days because there are none. The people I left behind are better off without me because people have a tendency to die when they’re around me.
And besides, the person I once was is no more. The person they remember died the day I surrendered. I wish for them to remember me that way because this person I’ve grown into is not someone I want anyone to meet.
“Tell ’em to fuck off.”
The door slams shut.
