The Meaning of Freedom - An Achievement Hunter Fanfiction

Day Three: Entry Five

It's hard to believe I've only been in this cell for three days. It feels like it's been so much longer. So much has happened...

Oh, it's a letter from Michael.

I'm hoping you're getting these letters. I'm guessing you just can't respond. Do letters still get delivered in times like these? I hope so.

...Are you even still alive?

I am still alive. I think at least. Unless this is some cruel purgatory, or hell, even, then I'm pretty sure I'm still alive. Whether being alive is worth it as this point... That's a different question entirely.

Well, enough existentialism for now, I've just gotten a letter from Jack.

Friend!

This one gave me some problems, but your fourth table leg is all done now. The last part will be there shortly.

-Jack the master woodworker

Wow, what a title, though I do have to say that this last table leg is really nice. I appreciate all the effort Jack is putting into making this table for me.

Another letter? From my Happy Buddy this time? That's a lot in such a short period of time.

ARE YOU OKAY? APPARENTLY MORE AND MORE INMATES ARE KILLING THEMSELVES. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT, FOR YOUR SAKE AND MINE.

Well, that's depressing. I won't say that suicide never crossed my mind, but I never really considered going through with it. You don't have to worry about me, man. Wow, it's getting pretty dark out...
Oh, it's a letter from Jack, again.

My dear friend,

My goodnight present to you will be the table top. Now you finally have something to put stuff on in your cell! I hope you actually have stuff to put on it...

-Jack

Unfortunately, I really don't have anything to put on the table. It does look really nice, though! I'm glad I finally got to see it finished.

Speaking of finished, it's really dark out now, so I guess I should head off to bed. I wonder what will happen tomorrow...
