Editor’s note: I somehow lost pages 1-2 of this letter, so I’m assuming this is the very end of a letter that was started on 3/26. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.
About three things I was absolutely positive.
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him – and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be – that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Oooh, this book sounds very good! Can’t wait to start it! I have a ticket for you on this adventure! It’s 9pm, 50 minutes until lock in. I tried to hang out in the common room, but it was too loud, and apparently I was watching the “black” TV, and have no say when they change the channel, so I’m practicing social distancing, fuck ’em, I prefer to read anyways. Because on the “white” tv Jersey Shore was on.1 So, yeah, book please!
It’s minutes until lock-up. I just wanted to say good night. I hope you have an excellent sleep my love, full of kitty snuggles and the best dreams you can have. Again, if you dream of me, I’ll dream of you. I love you so much. Meet you at the Temple baby 
3/27
7:30 am
So last night I chose 75 mg of Benadryl, I was out like a light until 6. Shift change I believe was really loud, but I managed to get back to sleep pretty quickly. It was just a light sleep. But sleep nonetheless.
In a previous letter I told you that we got new shirts. From green to yellow. It was a shirt for shirt exchange, I guess some people lied and there’s still green shirts floating around. Well now REDACTED (the pretty laid back C.O.) has been told to collect the green shirts as they are now considered contraband. If any more green shirts are found, we all get a 48 hour lock down. I should grab some books. Just in case.
From what Mr. 401 says, Lite Rock 105 at noon will switch over to Christmas music. To take us back pre-coronavirus, you know, simpler times. I’ll have to check back at lunch to find out. So the barber shoppe is closed thanks to Covid-19. I will ask if I can cut my own hair before my court date. Someone can watch me, I just need clippers. What’s the worst the can say? No? Well, at least I tried then 🙂 Speaking of haircuts, I REALLY REALLY need to manscape… down there. It’s like a rianforest down there.
Wow, I’m totally chatty today! USA! USA! USA! Number 1 in confirmed covid-19 cases! #1 #1. Oh wait, no cheering. Ugh, not good. Not good at all. I was listening to Gene’s show and he was saying that vehicles with NY plates will be stopped in RI and people will have to self-isolate. Wow.
So I guess every 30ish days I get to be re-injected with T.B. Fun fun. Corona is out there, and they’re worried I might have T.B cause you gotta have priorities, amiright? CNN has been on the “black” TV for close to 3 hours. I managed to watch about 40 minutes. One guy in here told me he’s freaking out about this. Me too, but I can hide anxiety pretty well. When they give you T.B. to see if you have T.B. (that’s how it works, right?) does that compremise your immune system?
Lunch was uneventful. 1/16th of a pizza, just a little smaller than a normal slice. Pasta with what tasted like tomato soup, lettuce with no dressing. Got laundry back, and I’m only missing a pair of socks, yay! Just over 7 hours until I can call you, I really can’t wait. I need to hear your voice. It feels like it’s been years since I heard it. Whomever said absence makes the heart grow fonder, is like John Denver:
My heart while it grows fonder, it hurts as well. They never mention that. Let’s see if Lite Rock 105 has gone full retard… commercials. So many commercials. “I’m a good person, I pay my taxes.”3 OMG They are playing Christmas music all weekend!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
I gotta stop watching CNN. The numbers just keep going up. Same with my anxiety. They’ve gone up by about 200 since this morning. It’s beginning to feel like The Stand. I wish I never read that book.
From what I can gather, we have a new Capt. America. He’s actually seeking people out and talking to them. But of course, since he’s doing that, the line is 70 deep. If he’s around next week I’ll try and talk to him. Not that it really matters, court is the week after next. I can leave a note in his mailbox as well.
NEW PEN
not using it yet. Patience!
I miss you. I miss you a lot. I love you as much as I miss you. Even more.
Just looking at this old pen, I think I’ve used about 1/2 an inch of ink since Monday. Sunday, I’ll be asking for more money for commisary. Soon I’m going to need more paper, and probably coffee.
We’re in lock-down, it’s 3pm. I’ve tried to read a couple of books, but I just can’t get into them. I guess I’m a little tired, little anxious for some reason, a little off I guess. I don’t know why. Antsy might be a good word for it as well. The children here are loud and banging on their doors and yelling, but in Spanish, so I don’t know what they’re saying. Maybe they’ll tire themselves out and go to sleep quicker tonight.
So I figure I’ll grab another book and give it another try. I grab “The Hades Factor” by Robert Ludlum. Ugh, it’s about a communicable disease/virus. Great. Super. LOL Hell in a handbasket. We’ll see how this one plays out.
I wish it were time to call you. There’s nothing I want to see on TV. Aside from CNN in the morning (when it’s quiet) I rarely actually listen to the TV. I’m bored I think. I’m missing you. I’m scared about corona. Just a little powerless in here. Plus I don’t want to eat the fish tonight. Hahaha
On more page to go! And I don’t think I have anything to say! I’m sure I’ll be able to think of something to fill up the page. The envelope is already stamped and addresses, just waiting for the letter to be folded into it.
I love you very very much
I have a dream they’re letting us go. I know they won’t, but that’s what I’ve been daydreaming about lately. I’m scare they’re going to cut off the Postal Service. Then what will I do? I can write every day, but you can’t afford to have me call every day. I don’t think I’d like another backlog like last time. I should probably head downstairs and wait for dinner.
I love you very much

*makes out with you*
1 There are 3 TVs in the common area, which the inmates refer to as the “black”, “white”, or “brown” TV, based on the races of the detainees that gather around to watch them.
2 a reference from one of Shawshank’s favorite movies, Dumb and Dumber.
3 probably one of the worst car dealership commercials to ever transmit across the airwaves.
