SHEILA'S REVENGE
A VERY COLD DISH
Joe handed Sheila the day's mail. His fingers softly
caressing her hand but if she noticed, she didn't let on. He'd been interested for sometime
in the beautiful silent woman, but she
never gave him the time of day. Her eyes never met his. His heart broke for
her, even though he knew all of her crimes, the more he saw of her, the more convinced
he became that she was innocent. She'd been set up by that nasty soldier that
had brought her to justice, he was certain of it.
Joe Trenton had been a prison guard for over fifteen years;
he was married and had three children. This was the first time he'd ever been
attracted to one of his charges. At first, he fought his burgeoning feelings of
affection. He never voiced them, but a touch, a small gift of chocolate, and a
book of poetry conveyed what he couldn't. He never signed his gifts, and if she
knew they were from him, she didn't let on. Still, his unspoken affection grew.
Sheila kept her silence. She never spoke a word to
anyone, not the other prisoners, or the guards, and no one bothered her either.
Her mother made sure that Sheila had
protection. She'd bought and paid inmates
and guards to keep the riff raff away from her daughter. Darla believed in
Sheila's innocence, and did everything in her power to assure her safety on the
inside and pursued all legal venues possible on the outside.
Letters
from fans continued to arrive daily, and
as Sheila read them, even she began to believe in her innocence. Revenge became
her goal, escape her desire, and silence her tool. Joe had made an impression,
but Sheila didn't respond to his flirtations and surprisingly he seemed to like
it that way.
She
didn't speak, but she did write, but only
to one fan. Her letters went out daily. She never asked for a thing, only wrote
of her hopes and dreams, of a life outside prison walls. She wrote of her
desire to find true love and filled her letters with X-rated versions of the
love she would bestow on the lucky recipient. The receiver read them and with each letter, his attraction to and
desire for Sheila grew. He believed in her innocence and her promises of love
but more importantly, his sexual appetites rivaled her own. He wrote of his own
hedonistic desires with descriptions of bondage and, sadism, and his willingness to dominate along with the promise
of devotion and eternal love.
Written
in code, Sheila knew the authorities read her words, and she had no desire to titillate
the warden or his lackeys, especially as discussions of escape became the main
topic!
Two
years from the date of her conviction, Sheila disappeared from her cell. They
discovered Joe Trenton's body in her bed. The guard who delivered her mail had
died with a smile on his face but a nail in his heart. Sheila had taken his
clothes, his identification, and his car. She'd gotten away, walked out as
though she owned the place. Joe Trenton, a guard for fifteen years, had fallen for his first prisoner and
paid with his life.
After
a thorough investigation, they found that Joe had procured a post office box in
a nearby city and found Sheila's last letter.
Her
last words were "La vengeance est un plat qui
se mange
froide" Revenge is a dish best served cold.
