My Name is John Merrick

Arriving the first day at the hospital and meeting Dr. Treves was an odd occurrence. I had no idea of what to expect and no idea why i was there. Being surrounded by so many people and all eyes of me is only natural to me now but being spoken to in a room alone has made me question my abilities to speak for myself. I was nervous when having a talk with Treves that i was not able to say a single thing nor did want to say anything to him. The main nurse was mean she yelled at me, frightening me making feel as if i was at a show again luckily i was taken into Treves' office. Dr. Treves is man that i am shocked to meet he has gone to see me when i was with Bytes and has asked me to go to the hospital. This i want to know what i have in store for my future and if Dr. treves can help me to be normal like him and every one else, that is all i truly want. Im tired of being looked at tired of being treated as a freak, i am a human just like Dr. Treves. I want to be seen as a person not a Freak. This doctor showcased me in front of other doctors it makes me wonder what i am actually here for. Bytes has done the same thing just in front of a audience paying to see me.

  1. Well done! You chose a moment hardly anyone else writes about and really told John’s side of it. Very sympathetic. Good work!
