I'm taking a survey.

What did everybody do for a job before, you know, coming here?


[private to Howie; added later]

I think I had girl talk. Does that count as making a friend?

Hi.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

Hi.

So... have you been here very long?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Sixteen months, give or take. You get used to it after a while.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

You're a warden?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

Oh... So you've done something really bad?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I suppose I must have.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

You don't know?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Well, I killed some people, which I guess is bad.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

.... I have too. It is bad.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

People keep telling me that.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

If you admit it's bad, maybe they'll let you go.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

I've tried.


If you think it's bad, why're you an inmate?

[villageson.livejournal.com]

We're not allowed to think that murder is bad?

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Just seems like something a warden would say, that's all.

[villageson.livejournal.com]

But not every inmate here is a murderer... so some of them must think it's bad.

[cautionarystory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess.
