My Prisoner

I do the oddest things sometime - I realize this but I cannot help it. Well I was doing something on the web and came across a site that helps you write to inmates. I thought to myself how much I like to write and really enjoy sending mail. Then I thought it would be cool to have a pen pal and it would be putting my likes and skills to good use. We all make mistakes and I truly believe in second chances so if getting mail from me helps a guy out then I am cool with that. So I went out and got a PO box and created an alias - since I am not completely crazy. I selected an inmate - of course I picked one that was cute and is gay. I wrote a couple letters and got no response. I tried to tell myself that perhaps he is busy but honestly it did bug me a bit. It also hurt my ego that a man locked up 23 hours a day was too busy to write? I kinda chalked it up as a good attempt and went about my things. Well don't you know a letter finally showed up. It was a response from my prisoner and it was actually a remailing of the letter he sent to me that got returned to him. I did notice that he put the wrong zip code so perhaps that was the problem. Well he was all excited to get my mail because I was the only one that did not write a sex letter!!! My prisoner thinks I am normal - can you imagine? I thought it gross that the guys that inquired about sex life in prison but liked that he simply replied to them, "All I can tell you is go commit a crime".

His name is Larry and time will tell if we can get this pen pal thing going or if it will fade. I am just pleased I got a response and will keep you all updated as this story unfolds.
