8 years later…

I was rescued by a group of men who had told me they were traveling to New York City. They were kind enough to allow me in coming along with them despite carrying Alice’s decapitated head. They were freaked out by it, but I did not want to say anything else from having nothing else to live for.

One of them asked to have her head, seeing that there is absolutely no point in holding her; I did, don’t know why he asked for it but I assume the man is going to give Alice proper burial after we went to the city of course.

It took a while of moving about, some tried to start conversation even though I did not utter a single word. I can remember their faces, some were worried, suspicious and even concerned for my safety.

Like any of that matters, after all; I am a loser just like how the fat bastard calls me from time to time. It is funny actually, that some people would even give crap about me after finally acknowledging how fucked up the world is.

Not that I can blame them.

As we reached New York City; it was rather large, when I imply large; I meant enormous. It is a metropolis and a big one in that. Although the toughest part is when one of the group needs to find conclusion in finding home or new family for me.

In the end, none of that matters for I have become an empty husk with nothing and no reason to live for other than the unknown feeling of moving forward, the irony of it.

Fortunately for me, a kind man who was traveling with the group and mutant in that, was willingly to adopt me as his son. Also, his head’s appearance is shaped like a mix of bat and some other unknown animal.

He calls himself Doctor Sol, described by others to be psychiatrist and philanthropist who works in mental asylum to care and help mentally ill patients. Of course, I would soon know that Sol would be like any abusive person.

However, I was proven wrong after he adopted me as his child; it took less than a year but eventually I began to trust him as a genuine and true father. He taught me many things through all these years, about how to write and read; among other boring things.

Doctor Sol is my adoptive new parent and the person that I will always hold dear in my life for giving me some motivation and purpose to keep on living. Interestingly, I did not go to school nor did I need to, instead I was home schooled through all my years of growing up until I finished getting my college degrees, one of them is PHD degree needed for me to work with Sol.

Oh and I also read a book about psychology in the library just to help me with becoming the best psychologist out there just to Sol proud. He also gave me a new set of clothes that I will always wear, a white lab coat and blue pants.

However, I feel bad for my adoptive father since he does not have the hair in which I do, a black messy short hair of course.

Ah, the beautiful and rotten metropolis of New York City; what a time to be alive. A place usually filled with crime and corruption, but at least I can look something further in the future about my job with father.

Being the self-proclaimed world’s best psychologist of course. But who am I kidding? The world is still dark and cruel place, and people are terrible creatures that only think about themselves and their own benefit. And so far, I still haven’t found the right answers as to why they are this way…
