The Inmate

by Freida McFadden

And I’m the one who put him here.

Oh girlie pop you are FUCKED

I don’t quite understand how you can love somebody so much, yet so frequently want to throttle them.

I should start bringing a book to read if there’s a break in the schedule.

I close my eyes and I can still see his ruggedly handsome face. His eyes looking into mine. I love you, Brooke. That was what he said to me just a few hours before he tried to kill me. And that’s not even the worst thing he did.

Tim was the one who bought me the snowflake necklace I always wear. He got it for me for my tenth birthday,

Interesting….

“She died believing that I had killed those people.”

Why am I getting the feeling that it was Tim

That asshole Reese knocked me out with a baseball bat,

Hmmmmm red herring maybe

I never saw the face of the man who tried to kill me. The power was out that night and everything was pitch black. But I knew Shane very well. I knew the feel of his body. The smell of him. I knew it was him. It had to be. Because if it wasn’t him, I have made a terrible mistake.

But then Tim raises his cup. And he takes a drink.

It seems too obvious right? Like maybe that’s the point though. To second guess yourself about a possible red herring

“Be careful.”

HMMMMM INTERESTING. INTERESTING.

He almost seemed… Afraid.

Sometimes people do exactly what you think they’re going to do, and they still manage to disappoint you.

Tim is so obviously not dangerous.

I wouldn’t say that

If I see another goddamn ellipsis I’m gonna flip a lid. There is no need for all of these

“When Shane tried to… you know…

I’m literally going to yeet myself into the sun first with the ellipsis and second for the obvious fact tim is the one who tried to murder her

You know I’ve been in love with you since I was four years old.”

It’s giving “if I can’t have her no one can”

Tim and I—we could have it all.

Until he tries to kill you because he finds out you’re in contact with Shane

Especially for someone like me.

Ew no ma’am that’s what we’re not gonna do

I ignore the tiniest hint of sandalwood clinging to the collar of his shirt.

That’s the dumbest shit you could do bestie

It’s a baseball bat.

Hunt is outright hostile to most of the inmates, so I’m surprised to see him on good terms with Fanning.

Hmmmmm

Marcus Hunt. Oh my God, it’s Officer Hunt.

I SAID INTERESTING

“You believe me, don’t you?

That’s exactly what a killer would say

“In fact,” he says, “if you want to keep this job, maybe you should think about making some time to grab that drink with me after work.”

Okay EW

“I find it kind of interesting that you have a kid in fifth grade. You’re kind of young to have a son that old, aren’t you? Who were you dating ten years ago, anyway?”

Officer Hunt more like Officer Cunt

Tim was sitting right in the audience.

Bro how dense are you

men’s penitentiary,

It’s giving “I can be the only man in your life” I guarantee Josh is going to have some kind of ‘accident’

I always thought it would be bigger.

Cause it’s self inflicted you dumbass

Stay away from Tim Reese. He’s dangerous.

Maybe listen for once

No, I can’t think this way. Tim is my boyfriend. I’ve known him my whole life. He’s a good guy. He wouldn’t lie, and he sure as hell wouldn’t kill anyone. I know it better than I know my own name.

Girl come on

Kelli Underwood, who disappeared two days ago.

BITCH ITS FUCKING TIM GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS

It sounds like she has something specific in mind, but I’m sure it’s something stupid.

LITERALLY how fucking dumb are you

apparently, some disgruntled patient had called and warned them about me.

INTERESTING

“Why don’t you grab a bottle from the wine cellar?

Hmmmmmm

After all, I would do anything for my mom.

Bruh wtf
