My Name is John Merrick...


Today is yet another day in the life of a carnie, I am constantly getting showed off by me “caretaker” Mr. Bytes, I am actually quite tired of this job, I always stay up at night thinking to myself when will the day come to where people will not view me with disgust but rather in the sense of praise. Bytes is always mistreating me, there is never a day that goes by that he is not drinking and abusing me, the only nice person around would have to be the little boy, Bytes’ assistant. I want to have that one day where I can be shown to the world and go about life with a sense of security rather than a sense of insecurity. I heard Bytes actually talking to this man; I believe his name was Treves or something of that sense. I think he was a Doctor, if he is a Doctor I sure hope, the hospital can cure me or take better care of me then Bytes. I am now wondering, if this man is a doctor, will he invite me to the hospital, give me my own room, and feed me all the time. I hardly ever get fed with Bytes’ I do not know when the last time was I seen a decent meal. I am so lonely in this “cave” I want friends; I want sincere people that I can call acquaintances. My life has been tragedy since birth, with my mother gone, I wonder if she ever thinks of me the way I think of her. I constantly carry her picture with me, every time I look at it I always get uplifted with happiness, I guess you can say she is the only one that can give me strength. Well I have to go to sleep now, I can never get quite comfortable when I sleep, I am always tired I can never sleep like normal people. I want to see what tomorrow will bring me when I see this man named Treves.
