The Mysterious case of Lydia "Polack" - file photos 7-10/10

Why does someone keep putting these photos on my desk? I don't want anything to do with that case anymore. Nevertheless, in 1991, Lydia already weighs 136kg/299lb. Oh my God. After the arrival of each photo, I do not sleep for at least a month. It's getting worse every year. I can't live a normal life for months before the photo comes and not even for months after. My life is divided into half a year of peace and half a year of suffering.

No photo came in 1992 and after seven years I felt a sense of relief. However, it was replaced by fear, but relief returned again. I stopped drinking alcohol, I started sleeping well, I even started looking for new relationships. It's interesting how quickly one gets used to the feeling of relief.

After all that, something was different with me. I started having dreams where I was with Lydia. At first I woke up in the night sweaty and the dreams ended before they started.

In 1993 I got a cold shower. File, "Riviera", "Lydia". Why does anyone do this? Why is someone putting this on my table? I'm not a detective, it's not an open case. I sat at the desk for an hour and looked at the file. Then I took it to the toilet and wanted to tear it open and flush it without seeing the photo inside. But something in me wouldn't let me. I was sitting on the toilet shaking and looking at the photo, "Lydia 1993 - 235kg/518lb". She was sitting there eating a burger and she was huge, overweight, but she looked like she was happy. From that day on, something inside me broke.

I've been looking at that photo for weeks. I kept saying to myself, God, how happy she looks there. Good thing we didn't solve the case, where in the world would she be so happy.

In 1994, I hoped that another photo would come along and confirm what I thought. The day came, "Lydia 1994 - 300kg/"661lb". I saw that she no longer had any shackles, she was well-groomed, beautiful. She was growing into beauty. That year was the best for me, I was glowing with happiness. I felt good.

As the year 1995 approached, I expected another photo and looked forward to it. But none came that year. Why? It happened once before, but why now? It's fine? Is it over yet? What will I look forward to now? Yes, I started to enjoy it. It did not meet my expectations and I needed to replace it. Since then I have been looking for different ways to replace it. I paid strippers to pretend they were overeaten, I paid prostitutes to watch them eat until they passed out. I bought magazines and cut out big fat women. Nothing could replace Lydia's progress photos for me.

The year 1996 was a culmination for me. Photo number 10, "Lydia 1996 - 425kg/937lb". Nothing in the world has ever surpassed the feelings that photo gave me. Whatever I did.

Why am I telling you all this? Why am I showing you these photos? I am very old now. I have enjoyed the last few years thanks to the Internet. Finally, it is not a problem to find information on this topic, photos, videos. But nothing has ever topped the feeling of these photos. You should know that I won't be here for long, please come to my house. The key is on the porch, behind the right lamp. When you come, I probably won't be here anymore. There is a safe in the bedroom behind the picture of the ship, the code is 19851996. There you will find the original of these photos and the keys to the cellar and the food store. Please hurry. Say hello to her, her name is "My Lydia 3", she will definitely be very hungry, take care of her.

Sincerely,

Frank Riviera
