To those who read this letter, likely long after I have passed beyond - I do not ask for forgiveness or for absolution. My days continue to draw to a close and I am ill of health, but in the face of it all I am at peace within myself.
I know that with this I will face the ire of a few and the judgement of many, but some things cannot go unwritten in perpetuity. I write this so that there may be a...
In the shadows of the night, a heart weighed down by a heavy burden, a soul torn by the choices made in the name of justice. The badge that once gleamed with honor now feels tarnished, stained by the echoes of a decision that haunts the depths of my being.
As I stand at the crossroads of right and wrong, the lines blur into a murky haze of doubt and regret. The evidence I planted, a seed of decep...
He was a murderer. Scum of the earth, the worst kind of man (or woman), you would ever meet. He tormented his wife, made her fear for her life every moment of every day, until there were no moments left. He killed her, that much I’m certain about it. But he was clever, more clever than I gave him credit for. Every track, neatly covered, every piece of evidence somehow pointing to nowhere and no on...
I never thought I’d find myself in this position. A detective, trained to seek the truth, sitting here writing this… confessing to something I thought I’d never be capable of. It feels surreal, like I’m outside myself, watching a movie I didn’t want to star in.
When I first joined the force, I was filled with idealism. I wanted to make a difference. It was about justice then—a noble calling. But ...
I BELIEVE in these evidences that proved he is guilty. Therefore, I will stick to my original convictions. There is a possibility that it’s a crime with many people involved, he is the main suspect which we are gladly that he is under our control. The police will work together to solve this case with efficiency and justice. Thank you!...
Dear Tommy,
Pastor Richards said if I wrote it all down I would feel better. I don’t believe him but I think if he sees me writing this it will make him feel better and he’ll get off gmy ass. So what to say, what to write on this blank sheet of paper that will be folded into an envelope and tucked in your coffin, bro. Should I say what a great guy you were? Naw, you were kind of a waste, dude. Yo...
“I did what I had to do,” I murmured, not ready to have this conversation.
“Yes, but what you did was illegal,” he responded. I had to plan my next words very carefully if I wanted to make it out of this conversation unscathed.
“All I will say is you fully supported the idea of him being locked away until you found out I had planted the information.”
Surprise overtook his face. I had this convers...
I lost you and I found you
I hurt you and I douced you
Douced in my cologne
The scent lingered on your clothes
The feeling of your hair
I wish it was still there
I love your smile
Although I haven’t seen it in awhile
I miss your voice
and how you could never make a choice
I hope you miss me too
And I hope you can cope
I know its selfish
but I hope that you don’t...
I know I should not have framed her for the crime
But it was just too hard to resist
Seeing her pay. Seeing her be taken away.
I loved my sister
But that was before she killed my hamster
So yes it was me that planted the evidence
It was so easy, as a police officer people automatically believe me
I erased the crosswalk and planted an officer right there.
Yes it’s hard to admit
But I framed my si...
