Walter Kovac's Prison Journal PART 1

Walter Joseph Kovacs, better known to the world as the masked crime fighter Rorschach, was incarcerated in the New York State Penitentiary for 9 days. He escaped on the 10th. Underneath the mangled corpses and shattered porcelain, lay one blood stained journal practically unused save 5 deranged entries. This is Entry #1.
From the Journal of Walter Joseph Kovacs
October 25th, 1985

Shackled with the pedophiles and junkies. The smell of depravity taints every painful breath till there’s no room for sanity. A cool sting of self-loathing permeates empty spaces and cuts down unknowingly atop the heads of rapists and thieves alike. No room for clean structure, organized chaos rules this forsaken den of human decay. Feces and vomit abound, these mongrels abandoned any notion of tangible salvation long ago in favor of one quick, mean jerk of the noose. Cowards in they’re most distilled form, they crawl on hand and knee like vermin before the axe falls, knowing no other way but to roll around in they’re own diseased filth until it consumes them from the outside in.

Nesting in the center of this waste, the wheezing and out of shape hypocrites in tiny blue hats. Catalysts, nestled cozy between the false bosom of superiority and perversion, they are no better than the criminals they oversee. Commissioned by the zoo then bribed by the animals, they’re paid twice to do nothing. A turn of the head, eyes blank from meaning or thought. Only thing that separates them from the caged is a uniform. Only thing saving them from the cage is a badge.

Waist deep in irony, wading through the sewage while the muck is rising. Every second is a reason and its become clear. I don’t belong here. This grim population would see me dead within the hour. Much to the chagrin of the writhing maggots infesting this glorified carcass, I will walk out by months end.

Dude... you've been in general population for a time haven't you. It's your description of the C.O.'s that give it away to me. I've been there too...

Your vocabulary is astounding. I see you try to never use the same word twice, if it's avoidable, which can get challenging but makes for a much more riveting read. Kudos! Give us more!

"Commissioned by the zoo then bribed by the animals, they’re paid twice to do nothing." Best [frick]ing line and brilliant, dead-on analogy.

I actually have no criminal record to date. But i have 4 older brothers, all of whom have had hard brushes with the law.

I just try my best to get into the head of who ever im writing about. I love narrative stories. I place myself in the subjects state of mind so i can fully become them or as close too as possible in order to, hopefully, capture there essence in a faithful manner.

Plus im a HUGE Alan Moore fan. Having done a great deal of research on his various works, it was still quite difficult to peice together this 1st entry. Im thrilled you enjoyed it and thank you so much for the kind words.

I thought this 'Fan Fic' story arch ive always dreamed about crafting would be a nice way to introduce everyone here at CBM to not only my writing but my 'CREATIVE CORNER' fansite. Who better to critique and comment on my work than the people who know theyre stuff like the CBM faithfuls.

I hope once entry 2-5 is completed there will be a spot for it on the front page. We shall see. lol

HINKLEY: Keep them coming! We certainly could use some more tasteful contributors, as it seems a great many trolls have found their way to the site in the past few months. Check out some of the stuff by THEHAWK, Shaman, and a few others. You'll find there are wuite a few people with talent on this site.

BTW, I hope you've finally gotten over that crush on Jodie Foster ;P

NIce job man, I was quite enthralled by your descriptive language, and imagery. I look forward to more.

I myself spent some time in prison, not a pretty place, not at all. Saw some horrible things, a lot of which didn't get reported. I've seen men stabbed, choked beat, raped, all while the corrupt guards watched. Our judicial system is as corrupt as the streets from which those men were pulled

I think your story is worthy of the front page, they will occasionally post a fan fic or casting on the front, I myself have had one up on the front, my Batman villain casting.

@Myth, thanks for the mention man, but hey lets give credit where credit is due, you are a great writer as well.

Here are some links to other writers sites

"Only thing that separates them from the caged is a uniform. Only thing saving them from the cage is a badge."

Awesome line.

You have to reach a certain level of comments before it hits front page.

THEHAWK: Thank you, didn't wanna blow my own horn ;) I've done time in county lockup, and I'm not talkin over-nighters here. Your right though, even in county, some crazy and sick shit can go on. As far as corrupt guards, how you think all those drugs find there way into the cellblock. Well, I know YOU know. The state of KY doesn't like people who smoke left-handed lucky's ;P At least your state isn't a communist wealth, I mean Common wealth.
