Prisoner In the shadows of my room, I became entranced by the tale of a man branded a monster for his relentless pursuit of the corrupt. Each news article painted him in a negative light, yet I felt an undeniable connection, a thread of empathy pulling me toward him. I began to write letters, pouring my heart into every word, never anticipating a reply. To my surprise, he responded, his chilling yet captivating words igniting a spark within me. Our letters transformed into a profound exchange, revealing our innermost dreams and fears, and I found myself inexplicably drawn to him—this man condemned to die, whose existence was steeped in a narrative of violence and retribution. We envisioned a future together, a life outside the prison walls, even as the specter of his execution loomed ever closer. Then, just hours before his fate was to be sealed, the unthinkable happened—he escaped from maximum security. A wave of panic washed over me as I processed the news, my heart racing not only with fear but also with an intense longing for the man who had captured my spirit. What would become of us now? Would our dreams of freedom and love survive the chaos that had unfold?
