Best Non-sexual Ways to Please Your Cellmate

No more good morning treats for Loudt

It’s 7:58 AM, and I’m on my knees, ready to give Loudt his good morning treat. These few minutes of freedom before he wakes up are my favorite time of the day. I forget we’re locked in a state prison cell for a crime he committed.

Time’s up! He’s awake.

“Morning, Sunshine!” I say, smiling.

It’s my usual greeting; I want him to feel good. Sometimes I go with “Morning, Jupiter!” when he had a bad day and wants to feel like a Greek God again. But yesterday went well; we had pizza with cucumber toppings for dinner. I know the Greek version is Zeus, but calling him a Greek Jupiter is part of the trick. Loudt loves to show his culture. And he loves explaining to me things I already know even more.

“Are you ready for your good morning treat?” I ask. Consent is crucial when living together in a 100 square feet room.

“No.” Wait! What? Loudt doesn’t want his good morning treat? First time in four years. Loudt goes on, “I’m tired of these good morning treats. I talked with my brother Doult yesterday. He read a life(sentence)-changing book, ‘Best non-sexual ways to please your cellmate,’ and that’s what I want now.”

“What you want now?” I reply, using the mirroring technique the FBI agent in the next cell taught me last week in exchange for a good afternoon treat.

“You know, something different. I want fortune cookies syllogisms on the walls, kabuki night, and poetry! All the little things that make life in a one hundred square-feet room better.”

“Something different?”

“Yes! I want something for my soul. Our bodies are stuck here, but our minds could fly high and away if we wanted to. I think changing our habits and environment could help.”

Wow, this mirroring technique works.

“So, if I understand correctly, you want to free yourself from the bodily constraints to raise your spirits? We should stop the good morning treats habit and search our souls instead?” That’s another technique the FBI guy taught me (for the price of two good evening treats; because it’s more advanced). He calls it the tentative summary.

“Exactly!” Loudt replies, happy to be understood and visibly excited to open this new chapter in our lives.

“I’m in. Anything to make you happy, Loudt.” I reply, eating the choco butternut munchkin donut ball I had prepared for his good morning treat.
