Letter from Armo Drane (Inmate ICN-20020) to his wife Tso Sook Drane:

Dear Tso:

Well, it’s morning again.  Plenty of time to write and think.  The guards say that we are still six days out from our detention moon but I don’t know if I believe them.   Seems like we’ve already been gone a long time.  The food here isn’t as bad as I thought.  I keep to myself and try to keep my head down.   A guard named Wembly said he’d try to get this letter back to you and so I hope he does. 

Someday I hope I can get a chance to explain what I did.   If it makes things easier for you and Jollar it was worth it.   Meanwhile I hope this letter reaches you in good health and the farm is not giving you too much trouble.

Your loving,

Arno

PS: Don’t forget to check the humidity sensor on the water vaporator on the south quardrant.  You know how it gets bound up.

PPS: If Moy-Ran Bostt comes by again and tells you we still owe him back pay for last season, you send him packing.  He is a piker and he was already paid once for that harvest.

Found written on the wall of the Purge’s mess hall:

WARDEN KLOTH EATS IT

From Trig Longo (Inmate ICN-299282) to Gilles Longo:

Hey Dad:

I just found this letter that Kale was writing to you.   He is asleep right now and doesn’t know I found it under the mattress.  But there was a little space left at the bottom to write this.

I think we’re the only ones left.

For a long time everybody was yelling, “Let us out so we at least have a chance,” stuff like that.  The Rodians in the cell across from ours died.  Then the rest of them did too.  Now it’s so quiet.  I can smell the bodies locked up around us.  They’re starting to rot.

There are no guards left either.

I don’t know why we didn’t get sick.  Whatever it is Kale and I must be immune to it.  If no one comes to let us out we’ll starve to death in here.  I’m not hungry but I am thirsty and I don’t want to die in here

Running out of room.

Wait.

I think I just heard something on the other side of the hall.

It sounds like footsteps heading this way.

Maybe we’ll be all right after all

I think someone’s coming.
