My Thoughts Today- a Journal Entry by Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
By James Carmody.
Week of: 3-9-17.
Recently I met and, I hope, pulled the wool over the eyes of my captoress, a young woman named Clarice, who's an FBI criminal profiler. My goal in this was not to escape, that's practically impossible for my situation, I know that now… granted, the wild animal always wants to be free, so does the person., what I wanted, and still want, is to get into the ability to access things like the prison library so I can occupy my mind with good-quality literature, and hopefully keep sane.
Clarice seems to be such a fascinating young woman, especially considering her own tragic circumstances of being orphaned at such a young age- it is, on some level, reassuring to me to see how she's developed… something in it, I don't know what, but it gives me hope to see how people can develop through hardship.
I made use of a young student of mine in the "criminal arts" to blind her to what I am doing in this regard; Billy was just plain too eager, and in the end, the opportunity to turn him over was just too tempting to resist- the little fool had no idea that he was being set up. In fact, if this partnership I am establishing with Clarice turns out ideal, I'll turn her and make her my "hands" in the outside world- everything works in the end for those who're patient enough to work in the shadows for it, I guess.
Well, have a good day, my Journal, I'm signing off for now…
