My Name Is John Merrick.
Another person has come to see. What else is new? Every single day i feel less and less like a human. I hear Bytes come in and I hear another person come in. This is different. It is only one person. Not the usual crowd. I do not want to go through this again. I feel so ugly. and scared. Every one always laughs and laughs and i never fully understand why. I hear Bytes scream. It is almost showtime. I hear the curtain drop, here it goes. Bytes tells me to stand up, so i do. I turn around when i am told and i see a man standing, but he does not look scared. He does not look digested. Most people, well everyone, who comes to see me always look disgusted, that is the first reaction. Their face full of disgust and fear. I turn around, i feel like a robot. I do not even feel human. I know i am not an animal but every day i slowly began to feel like one. This mans reaction, however, was very different. Never have i once seen this reaction before, i am totally confused. He is cried, a tear feel from his eye. This is unusual. i am confused. i do not want to feel like this anymore. i do not want to be the clown for everyone. I am just like them, I am not an animal. I am not an elephant man. I am John Merrick.
