Are we to write this as though it is literally our own letter (ie Mario Jasso) or just some dude?

the time, and if it left... I would be fine.

That word count sucked.

=(

I was writing the first draft, as it were, and stopped when I thought I was about 700 words. It was just under 1100.

I address this to everyone, and for that matter I hope it gets out into the open. For those who think that what I have done is not a crime, bullshit to you all! I did kill that family, I did massacre that ship, and I did torture people with starved animals. There is no conspiracy theory out to get me, there is no stupid coincident, there is only me. It was all me, and now that that?s over and said I think I may as well explain to you all the events that took place.

It started when I was raped at the age of 15, sad really, but I kept my emotions bottled up as my mother always told me to do. From that rape my madness stems, from that man who made me think I was his friend then turned on me. The whole rape incident made me bitter to people and lose touch with my other friends and family. Hey, if someone can do it anybody can.

It got worse as I stared to take my sadness out on myself. Drugs, cutting, booze, the works. I think I knew that if I told someone about it things would get better. But I was known for my stubbornness and decided I would heal on my own. What a laugh it is now.

I eventually realised how much more fun I had hurting others more then hurting me. It was that feeling of power that got me off. It was that thought that I was in control of everything. Even death. I only started with a dog, nothing much by today?s standards. I tossed it in a deep whole and waited until the ants came to eat away it?s flesh, or it starved, whatever came first.

I was 21 by the time I grew to bigger things, such as cows and horses. It had become so normal for me. I was partial to cats and often fed them poison. Then, it hit me. I wanted to kill people, because lord knows that if I got so exited by killing animals, imagine how great killing a human would be.

I started with a family of two, wife and husband, nothing special. I first raped the husband while the wife was out getting groceries, and then wouldn?t you know it, she walks in on us. The husband screamed at her and she ran to the phone. I beat her to it and cut her neck apart. Then I finished with the man and killed him while he was half unconscious.

Then I moved on to the large ship. Not a cruise ship, even I couldn?t handle that. I drugged them and stabbed them to death in their sleep. Best way to go I think, without knowing. They didn?t even know their friends were dieing all around them. It was almost sad.

I was 24 when I finished my dungeon. The devils playground I call it. Not very original I know, but it might have been called hell itself, sorry I?m flattering myself. That is where I brought the people I kidnapped and fed them alive to the staved dogs, cats, and other animals. It was almost sad seeing them writhing on the ground in pain as the animals pecked at the eyes, crotches, and skin. I made a drain where the blood could flow down.

Finally I was caught. A pervert that spied on me got curious when I brought all those rugs home again and again. So he checked it out, discovered my basement and called the police. I don?t know how they linked me to the other murders, but oh well.

There you have it. I probably would have found it sad, and I may have not done what I did if I just told someone. Oh, did I mention that it was my father that raped me. I know. ?But you said it was your friend!? I can see you saying. Well I also said that I kept my emotions bottled up. Yeah, I lied, but oh well, I?m set to die tomorrow and I don?t think I could be happier.

Sorry for this notes abruptness, I don?t have much paper. There, now you know about my best murders and dark life. If only they found the actual dungeon. Poor children are probably dead by now.

I?m not afraid of death. I knew it was coming some day soon, and I have been waiting.

As you read this please understand it was not an easy thing to write. Not until I made the decision to put these words on paper did I truly come to face my own mortality? its nothing I would not wish upon even my enemies. Sadly, my space is limited, so forgive me for being brief.

Firstly: my friends. I'm not sure any of you will know how truly grateful I am that all of you were a part of my life. Even in my darkest days you were there for me. Whether it was to tell a joke, lend an ear, or steady my arm, there was never a time when I couldn?t count on each and every one of you. I hope that you will be able to look back and say the same of me some day. I know the last several months have been trying on you and for that I am truly sorry. Know this though, my passing is not something that I want to be mourned. While it is nice to think that some memory of me will live on, I will gladly fade from the world if it means the people I care about smile even a day sooner.

Not in my grandest dreams could I have wished for a more loving family. You did not question me, you did not pressure me, you did criticize me ? you loved me. Even if there were something more I could ask of you, I wouldn?t. The love and support you showered upon me is something I cherished more than I ever truly expressed. The warmth I felt surrounded by those I love and those that loved me is a warmth I wish the whole world could feel. It pains me to know that through my actions I am bringing you pain. Please know, if only in your hearts, that I would do anything within my power to ease that pain, were it possible. Though I will never ask for your forgiveness ? that is not something I deserve from anyone ? I do ask for your love. It is something I will not have much longer to cherish.

I thought long and hard about what I could I could possibly put on this space that would let you know how I really feel. Mother? father? thank you. Though I know those two little words will never be enough, thank you. More than anyone else you gave me the support that I needed. You didn?t question me, you didn?t chide me, you let me live my life. Though I made mistakes, I always had a home to return to. Though I spoke harshly, you always cared. And though I acted rashly, you were there to help and nurture me. Though I can only guess at a future that will never happen, I know in my heart that everything good deed I had done and every good thing I would have gone to do would have been because of your influence. I thank you and love you with all of my heart.

As I said before, my space is limited and, though I wish I could talk to those who touched my life individually, I do not have that luxury.

I committed a horrible crime. I will not and never have contested that. To think that I, even for an instant, had the arrogance to decide another?s causes a pain within me that I can not describe. If I could take back what I did, I would. And gladly. But I can not. No one can. All I can do now is take responsibility for what I have done and accept the consequences of my actions. I sincerely hope that in doing so I will bring even a small amount of solace to those I have hurt with my actions. I do not believe, personally, that taking my life because I took another is the proper way to do things, but the law is not mine to decide. Ironically, it was my attempt to do just that that put me here.

I know many of you have urged me to make an appeal -- to represent my case ? to find a better lawyer, but I will not. This is my atonement. This is the last choice I will get to make, please do not look upon it with pain in your heart.

To any who read this know that I love you and wish you nothing but happiness.

OVER

SPICE

Hardest thus far. I'm happy I ran this contest, because it's shown me that Spice, someone I'd have never read before, is a great writer.

Two very different approaches to the topic. Don't fret, Spice, anyone who can give Raditzu a run for his money has something to be proud of.
