Alderney State Penitentiary,

Dear Amethyst,

Thank you for the second photo. I love your freckles. Do you have any more?

The insight of your last letter left me speechless. What made you think there was more to the murder of my stepfamily than simple resentment?

Would you be open to receiving a phone, so I may send a photo of my reaction?

Xero

P.S. Tell me something you’ve never told anyone else. I want to know your darkest fantasy.
