Beginning Paragraph
I.
It was dark, I remember that clearly because I thought that was odd, considering it was day time. Surrounded by books, I had long ago gotten lost in a sea of words that continued to cascade about my psyche. Why was I even bothering? I knew more psychology than anyone I knew. Heh, the psychology of rapists and rape victims. The books were no help at all. They could not tell you the psychology of a rapist - what made him chose his victims? what made him continue when they had already turned down his advances? What made him hurt them? None of the rapists would comment. I doubt that they even really knew themselves. 1
Middle Paragraph 2
Covering her over, I took care of her. She had not the strength to do her own make up, but she wanted to look good, and feel good about herself. I helped out, adding blush to her pale cheeks, reddening her far too light lips with a coat of gloss. When I looked back from the door, muscles already taunt, I saw how beautiful she looked and knew I would not be able to stay away long. Then, out in the darkness, I returned to my cage.3
Final Paragraph4
VIII.
These tired walls seem so familiar. I could tell you every crevice. I could draw a picture of this room in my mind. I will remember this until the day that I die, and the constriction within my chest tells me that this will not be long now. Will it be another form of freedom? Will death be another release? I can not explain it but although I know that in life I am not able to truly live, I am scared that death will not be a freedom, but a complete and utter condemnation. It is natural to fear death is it not. This will be my last note. The last thing I have to say. Before everyone else is given their freedom, at my expense.

Wow. It leaves me thinking the dude in the first paragraph turned into the people he read so much about. But it's not clear, because it's a teaser! HA! Nicely done. You've got a good sense of suspense here.
