Watcher

Take it from me, when I was in prison it was no picnic, People always take you for granted in prison. All everybody wants to do is take take take. I don't know exactly when I decided it but that's not surprising because in prison days run together. I didn't care what day it was just how much time I had left but it was sometime in my last six months. I just decided I wasn't going to give them anymore. You see I had just came to the conclusion that they were going to charge me with the other five murders. I didn't know what kind of evidence they had but I wasn't to happy. I had already done three years and now all of a sudden I'm the prime suspect in five more cold cases. Even if the cops were just trying to close out files they only needed one first degree murder conviction to send me up for life.

I might have to take it in court but I thought if I'm going up for life I sure in the hell not taken it on the inside. So I decided it was time to start showing these boys what I was made of. See they thought I was going easy because I was scared but the truth is I was going easy because I wanted out.

Besides you cant do your job if in your in the pen but when I think about those guys talking behind my back and smirking it is almost as satisfactory  think about what I will do to them as it is on the outside but here they can stop me they can throw me in super max and I can never let that happen so what to do but one day I was laying on my bottom bunk when it came to me. It was so simple I started to laugh out loud. I never had thought about it but it was the perfect solution and all these guys in here and I had never even heard of something like this being attempted.

The more I thought about it the more sense it made. Lucky for me I hadn't started my plan to make them pay. Now I would have to rethink everything. I thought to myself as I laid their catty as a school girl. I got up just as my cellmate came in. he looked at my hard and before he could get the first word out I hit him in the throat and grabbed him by his long greasy hair and smashed his face into the cell wall. Ya it was time. My blood started pumping and for the first time in three years I felt alive and this got me thinking about how enjoyable it would be to end his life but I had to contain myself until it was time.

I stopped short of ending his miserable life and I leaned down while my hands were still around his throat. I grunted low into his ear "If you ever talk to me again I will kill you. Then I kept the arteries on the side of his neck pinched off until he went out. I knew when he woke up he would have a hell of a headache and he would be lucky until he came at me. Then I would finish it. I picked him up and threw him on the top bunk with all his shit. Then I left to take a walk around the cat walk. I had to make a call so I went to the common area and signed the list and sit down on the end of a table by myself. I did what I always did, I watched. I was a watcher, it was part of my job. How could you do your job unless you knew everything about everything and the only way to figure that out was to watch. Other guys would try this and that. They made it easy for me because I just watched and saw. I saw everything from everybody so I knew everything the prisoners knew and everything the guards knew and the best part was no body knew I knew. calls were ten minutes a piece so I would be here for awhile. two hours later the guard called me over.

I gave the guard the number  he called it for me and I picked up the metal hand set on the super short cord and put it to my ear. "I need to see you was all I said into the handset before hanging up just in time for supper. I sat in the corner with my spork in my hand and prayed nobody would mess with me today. I was so close I cold taste it. I could also see me sticking my spork into someone's eye socket and blowing the whole thing. If I had got into trouble at that particular moment it would have been to late but that didn't happen and that's why I'm here today on my job. I thought about wearing a guards face and trying to walk out but it wasn't feasible but it was entertaining to think about it. So enough beating around the bush because I have to do my job and typing this is holding me up.

So anyway it came time for my court date and I had my plan already in action I showed up to court and I was delayed so they brought me back. And I was doing my job. I watched every move of everyone that handled me. Three days later they had me again and it was different guys but their moves were almost identical. I was delayed again. Good thing I made that call. They say third time is a charm and it is unless your a guard. This was my move I went to the bath room and my two guard's watched my like a hawk the whole time I was on the crapper. You see though they cleared the bathroom before I would go in for safety reasons. They searched the whole bathroom before even letting me in. One guard would watch me while the other watched the door and him. It was a pretty good plan. The one by the door to far away. For this reason I chose the last toilet in the huge bathroom. The first guard was out before he hit the floor. The second guard ran down the bathroom to protect his partner like any good guard would do. To bad for him. I took him down and choked him out. I really wanted to kill them but there wasn't time to enjoy it and I didn't have the time. I walked strait out and into the woman's bathroom next door. I pulled the trash bag out of the can and put on the long wig and stuffed the jumper into the trash pulling on the huge hat and black pants suit then I went to the mirror checked myself then I walk right out of the building. No one will ever know who helped me. Especially you. You see I'm a watcher and I've killed dozens and I see you now reading this in front of the TV. I'm doing my job.
