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.

  1. "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!
