Hannibal Lector's Letters

*A/N: These letters are fictional but these letters are the ones that he wished he could write to Clarice Starling. I hate gory movies, but there was always something that I loved about "Silence Of the Lambs" And "Hannibal" that I couldn't get enough of. Each letter takes certain scenes of both movies. Please remember that these are all fictional and they are not actually in the movies.

*This letter is written following the very ending of "Silence of the Lambs"*


Dear Clarice,

Congratulations on your recent graduation. I know your late father would have had a sense of accomplishment in his manner. I wished I could have been able to see your ceremony. But then again, the FBI never did take a liking to me in the first place since they are the ones who put me in there down in that dungeon in the first place eight years ago.

I wonder how you are doing Clarice. I myself have never been better. Sitting with a view after eating quite a delicious dinner, with an old friend. I'm sorry our last chat wasn't very long, but I feared that you with your smart FBI intelligence so to speak, you would trace the call and try to hunt me down. So you could come up with another reason to see me. I do miss my talks with you. I have had a constant longing to hear your voice. But I do love not having to put up with that pique of a man Dr. Chilton. With all of his petty tortures that he enjoyed to bestow upon me, it makes me feel better about the fact that I am far away from him. It's a shame however; he will spend the rest of his life running from me.

Do you still hear those lambs screaming? Are those lambs screaming out something important Clarice? Do you hear them calling out your name like I do Clarice? Or have they stopped with your recent success in the FBI? You will one day let me know when they finally start screaming again will you?

Sincerely,

Hannibal Lecter M.D.

P.S. Surely this letter is intended for your eyes only. I have no idea to wether or not you wish to have someone check this letter out. But for your information, you will never know where I am unless fate decides for me. I hope to hear of your career soon Clarice.

TA, TA

H.
