Dear, Captain Ichabod Crane (1775)

Do you want to know a secret? I killed our wife Katerina Van Tassel. It was on purpose. I pushed that dagger deep inside her chest. There was no mistake, no stumble, no accidental fall. I did it and I would do it again if necessary.

She and our son Henry were going to kill Abbie Mills. My lieutenant, my heart. Katerina had turned into an evil witch and was going to choke Abbie to death. I had to decide between her and Abbie.

The choice was obvious. Grace Abigail Mills is my partner in this biblical Witness apocalypse. We have accomplished two tribulations. There are five left. Abbie Mills is everything to me now. Our Katrina was not the same Katrina we knew. She had changed into something unrecognizable. A pure evil full of hate and anger. I had to do it, Captain. I regret it and then again I don't. It had to happen to save the world. I had to do it.

I am telling you all this so you will understand what I did was right. I did it for God and the greater good. I may be found out and sent to jail for this. Dear Lord! I may even be convicted. Or maybe I will be able to convince people it was self-defense.

I do not know what the future may hold for me in the aftermath of Katrina's death. However, I am ready for whatever may come. I vow to never let anything or anybody hurt Abbie again. She's been hurt enough by the real world and I am sure I was sent to protect her, however, I can. Abbie feels the same. We protect each other. In the end, we die together. You can do what you wish with this letter Captain. Burn it, throw it into the rubbish, Or give it to the proper authorities. It does not really concern me. I am most certainly truthful and sincere in my thoughts and actions. I hope and pray you will forgive me.

Your humble servant,

Ichabod Crane (2013)
