My Name is John Merrick
My day couldn't get off to a better start. I woke up and began to work on my Cathedral project. It was coming out so great. I could only imagine what the rest of it looked like. While working on it Dr. Treves and Mothershead came in to give me the best news of my life: that I was allowed to stay in the hospital permanently They gave me a dressing case and I was absolutely ecstatic. I had never felt better in my life. What I thought was the best day of my life ended up being one of the worst by the end of it. The Night Porter, like usual, came with a group of people to my room. Oh it was so horrible. I felt so defenseless like always and they were tossing me around like a stuffed doll. It was the worst night of my life. If it had ended there it would've been fine, except that Mr. Bytes came by and took me with him. I could stand the humiliation of the Night Porter but I couldn't stand the abuse that Mr. Bytes gives me. I felt so violated and I never want togo through that night again.

"tossing me around like a stuffed doll.” Great way to put it! You really caught the contrast of John’s life going from great to horrible in a few minutes. Well done!
