You’re a psychology student, one who thrives off doing as best as you can in your college class. So, the second you heard about “extra credit”, you immediately signed up.

But this “extra credit” in question. . ? It was, ah, intriguing. Risky, at worst. Your task is to become a pen-pal with a prisoner. An actual prisoner, in prison. A convict. A felon. All you’ve got to do is keep writing to them and provide a psychoanalysis every week. Sounds easy, right?

Right.

Tell that to the shaking in your hands as you open the very first letter sent to you by Prisoner 387; Voytek Yvakona. Not only the convicted drug dealer - with a billion other “suspected” crimes weighing on him that you can’t even imagine, but also the man who hit internet fame for his absurdly attractive mugshot.

God, you’re doomed.

From: Prisoner 387, Skealer Prison. Voytek Yvakona.

Well. I can say it’s been a while since I’ve looked at a blank piece of paper, unsure of what to write. I feel a little pathetic. ~~Do you feel pathetic?~~ There’s no need for introductions on my behalf, I’m sure. So, I won’t waste paper telling you what you already know.

So why don’t you tell me what I don’t already know, Little Stranger? Or is that pushing too far, for a first letter? I would hope not. Feel free to accuse me of not knowing what else to write, if so. False accusations do seem to be my thing.

Or is that something a correctly accused man would write?
