My Name Is John Merrick

Early today Bytes beat me. He whipped me like an animal in front of the child. I wish I had the courage or the strength to stop him but I cant. I am slow and weak and my body does not let me move as easily as other people. Even if i did stand up to him, what am i supposed to do afterwards? I cannot take care of myself, I cannot even walk in the street without causing fear. I am also very sick, so sick in fact, the boy went to go get Dr. Treves from the hospital to come and get me. When he saw me, Bytes told him that I fell, but i think Dr. Treves is smarter than him and knows that he hit me. I hope that he does because i want him to protect me and keep me with him in his hospital. He brought me to a beautiful hospital with a clean room and a nice, soft bed. He fed me and made sure I was comfortable. One nurse came in the room and yelled when she saw me, she gave me a terrible scare. Yet, I am still more comfortable here than anywhere near Bytes. I hope that I can stay here in the hospital where Bytes will never hurt me again and i will be safe and nobody will come to stare at me. I even think Dr. Treves wants to talk to me and it seems he actually cares about me but I am still a little shy about talking to him and its really hard for me to speak because i do not have a lot of practice talking. I think if I practice speaking on my own, I can show Dr. Treves that I am not an imbecile and that I know how to read and write and I can hold conversations like normal people too.
