Placed in an asylum as teen, Henry Pattersin has dealt with a lot. Fights, the police, drugs, and the loss of his family. He was convicted as criminally insane ten years ago, and it's time we found out why. "If you're reading this write now, I'm dead, or I faked my death. Either way, you'll never see me again. So, why, you ask, are you reading this. Well, when I was alive, I loved you, you loved me, or I hated you. Simple. Our relationship might not have been that simple though, so I'm writing this to release all and any emotion, shown and hidden, I had throughout my life. I mean, no point in hiding it now."
