Lonely Letters
Chapter Nine
By IceWing (icewing@one.net)
Chapter 9
Bet you weren't expecting another letter from me so quick
were you.
I thought about waiting till I got your letter to write again,
but I wasn't sure if I could wait that long.
Sorry, I'm being kind of vague and cryptic aren't I? Don't
worry its not bad, at least I really hope you don't think that it is.
I'm getting out of here!
God, those words look so small, but there's so much behind
them.
The guards pulled me aside this morning on the way to the
yard. I thought maybe they were going to come down on me for something, but
instead they told me that if I can keep my nose clean for the next couple of
weeks, that I've only got 18 days left.
I thought I would have to go before a parole board or something,
but apparently, since the court convicted me of a major misdemeanor (personally
I thought it was a felony) there's no need to go before a parole board. That's
only for convicted first degree murderers and other violent individuals (go
figure, involuntary manslaughter isn't violent… Only in California ) Anyway,
for each day I've been in here, they take two off my sentence. Plus since they're
short on room, and as I've been a model prisoner (once again, not exactly a
shining reference, as people who are in here are guilty of something…) they're
going to cut me loose way early. A year and a half of probation, but its less
that what I deserve, although the state doesn't seem to think so.
Re-reading what I wrote, I guess I've been babbling. Sorry
about that. Its just that all of this is so sudden. I had figured I had a couple
more years in here at the least, and bam!
I was kind of wondering if you still thought that it would
be good to get back to SunnyDale? Do you think that the Scooby Gang would accept
me back? Should I even try?
Anyway, I'm not going to make this super long as I want to
get it in today's mail.
Let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure that they'll
give me a bus ticket back to Sunnydale, as that was were my last address was,
but I'm not sure…. Any chance you could come get me? ~ smile ~
Counting down the days till hopefully you will reveal yourself.
