Background on Serial Killer Dr. Michael Swango & A Chilling Coincidence

A friend suggested I contact him. I had never heard of him before, quickly Wiki'd him and thought, "Ok. He's a sociopath; he's in!" He passed the velvet rope just like that. Easy peasy.

The card I sent him was short and bland. I mentioned that I suspected it was lonely and boring this time of year especially without access to friends and family. I told him my age, what I do for a living and that I have a little dog. I told him I'm a good listener if he'd like to write back, and that I am a good writer--having published some pieces--and could send him some stories, mostly about my wacky life.

Background on Serial Killer & A Chilling Coincidence:

I signed it: "KK".

Then today that same friend told me she read a book written about him and his crimes. I asked more about it, wanting to buy it and she researched it, having forgotten exact details.

Apparently he had married a woman with the initials "KK" and he called her that. She killed herself.

The coincidence is eerie.

This is going to make one Hell of a blog.

I am going to write back to him tonight--there is so much to say and ask--and tell him I'd like to post his letters.
