My name is John Merrick

I am not a monster. Dr. Frederick Treves has shown that to me. I used to think there was a reason; a reason of my fault, as to why I was treated this way. Freak...the word freak doesn't hurt me anymore. Here at the London Hospital, I feel loved...I have friends and most importantly I have a home. Dr. Frederick Treves saved me from the abuse of Bytes. Dr. Frederick Treves reminds me of my mother; an angel. I know now that the terrible abuse wasn't my fault, I just happened to be with the wrong people. I have feelings, just as any other human being does. I am a freak, but I am a man.
