| (april) Detective Alexander -- The dolls you have found are situated where the destroyed reproductive organs of the criminals used to be. As I have not seen this reported in any of the papers I hope that by stating it you will be persuaded of the veracity of my identity. I've seen you in my courtrooms. I've seen you on tv too. you don't talk much. I think you should talk to the reporters more often. you should assure the innocent that they have nothing to fear from me. I condemn only the guilty. I have found that you are one of the innocent. you have nothing to fear from me. I know it is your job to try to find me. I hope that you will come to understand. When you do, you will not hunt me. I only want to save the world for the innocent. (may) Detective Alexander -- I have not seen that you have made much progress. I will give you the opportunity again soon. I hope perhaps that you have realized the Truth of my mission and have decided to let me go about my work, but this may be self-flattery on my part. I have found out more about you. I have found that perhaps you are not an innocent by choice. If you could chose to be one of the guilty, would you? Would you condemn the Earth to a choking smothered death, or would you stay in the ranks of the innocent? I hope, for your sake, that you would chose the path you are on. There are too many. (june -- a birthday card) Trevor -- Celebrating sorrow. A paradox, I know. I leave you a gift. Will they let you keep it? (july) Trevor -- Does your mother hate that you are an innocent? Does she reject what you are? your father would have. he would have cast you out, hating your innocence. he made it clear. they all do. Do not feel guilty. she is one of them, though not as evil. she is part of the deluge, but others are more guilty than her and so she will live until the others are purged. people like her never understand. But you understand. Warn your sister. Tell her to stay innocent. Even now she walks the path of danger. her actions will doom her. I will not hurt her, it is not her time. you have gotten closer than you realize, but I have drawn back. Though I admire you I cannot let you stop me. Can't you see what they're doing? Why do you allow it? Why do you help them? they will destroy the Earth in their selfishness, in their mindless spawning. The Catholics and the Mormons must be thrown to the Earth and crushed. (august) Trevor -- We almost met. What an exhilarating thrill of danger. Would you sit down and share a few minutes over coffee? I think we might understand each other, you and I, hunter to hunter. you are like me, though you deny it. you have the same instincts, the same knowledge. you smell the fear, taste the blood. How else could you understand what I do, why I do it. you might so easily be me. I want to know how much you understand. Have you put me together yet? The places I find myself now are always ignored by the authorities. Historically, socially, economically, politically. Do you know where I am? I feel like I know you now. you should know me. you are my companion on this path, my sympathizer and supporter. If not for unfortunate fate we could be of one soul. you could walk my path. Join me for a walk, Trev? (september) Trev -- I quite enjoyed our telephone conversation. Did you learn much? I am sorry that I had to call you at home instead of work, but I am quite well acquainted with the latest in tracking technology. I wanted you to hear my voice. What did you learn? I am but one of the unfortunates laboring in the hot darkness. You should get a new partner, Trev. Jim is one of the evil ones. (october) Tre -- I have the feeling out paths will cross soon, like on that fateful december midnight. you were young then. So was I. you lived easily. If your parents had more time, you might have been part of the evil. My parents were part of it. Surely you must understand by now. Are you feeling healthy? The last time I saw you you seemed pale, ill. you must make certain to get enough sleep, eat the right foods. you are one of the innocents, we cannot lose you now. Perhaps vitamins would do you well. you are treading so close. The threads connecting us become stronger. When we finally meet, I know you will congratulate me for the job well done. Even your bosses know that we understand each other, you and I. It is why they will not let you leave. But would you abandon me, Tre, even at their insistance? I am tempted to return to where it all began. (october) Tre -- I thought perhaps you will kill yourself. Do you still live? Are you reading this now, or has the task fallen to a bereaved relative? Are you there? I will keep your secrets. I will leave for a while, find a new hunting ground. The cleansing will stop, but do not worry. I have not lost my purpose. But now I know that too much separates us -- we will never be allies. I think I shall travel. Find a new center for my work. San Francisco will always have its charms. If you live (and I hope you do -- your death would be more unfortunate than I can say) I am certain we will meet again. |
