hi there.......my name is maxwell. i think im doing ok, ok,actually i'm doing great.i may be locked up but every moment is a gift. i used to be negative but i realized every secound i take a breath is another treasure. you may look at me like im crazy; but im not crazy; im very sane except the 'normal' ones in life dont understand.....allow me to explain, everyone was born different so there is no point in being 'normal' when everyones perspective on it is different. i know, i know; i keep changing the subject.....oh.....when did it start you ask?.......well i guess that is why your in here.....you being a detective and all......well let me start from the begining
you see i was a surgeon at the medical facility....and every now and again i had to bring home work.......nothing to big....just to sharpen my utencils, blades, test my equipment to make sure it works properly......you know....the usual. my home life was grand, i had a beautiful and caring wife and a daugter who reminded me of her oh so much.......she ewas a beautiful sight to see and she took after her mother. her hair although was a natual dirty red......so as we thougth my wife sugested ariel and as soon as that word left her soft lips i knew it was perfect. as she grew up she grew in size and knolage.....she grew found of movies......something we bonded over while my wifes bonding with ariel consisted of shopping and doing make-up, hair, etc. but the movie she loved the most was the little mermaid......every time i let her pick one that was the first thing she grabed.......we actually once had to replace the copy because we watched it so much it had broke from overuse......what she loved most was she would imagine herself as ariel......and everytime she messed up she would laugh with that soft and sweetening laugh.......i never grew tired of it for i grew found of it.......but after a while when the moovie grew old and i could guess her choice i still acted suprised because she would always grin when i acted suprised and assured her it was my favorite in the entire universe. and every time she watched it and eric showed his tentilizing smile my daughter and go "daddy? when will i find my eric", and i always replied the same,"when you find someone you love enough to lose everything for is the day you find your eric", she would always smile and cuddle up to my arm as she took a nap but i still let it run because i never wanted to get up.......
as time progressed and the years went by i had nevered noticed how thing stayed full of love......we were lucky i guess you could say.......everything was great untill i got that dreaded note......you see i was coming home from work but there was a pink slip on my door......as i slowly entered my house there was no mouth watering smells to great me.....there wasnt even a light on.......it was just my daughter....asleep on the couch....i didnt think much of it so i went to my workroom and read the note as a single tear ran down my cheek......it read,"dear maxwell quizno, we are sorry to inform you that you wife was killed in work today; but as a proposal for her demise we will pay for the funeral taking place on the 3rd of april", i wept as i read and looked at the cause and it read she had fallen into a woodchipper under no supervision. i heard my door open with a gentle moan.....i turned in tears and saw my daughter standing in the doorway....she asked ,"daddy....wheres mommy,i need to show her a necklace i made for her in class today" i looked into her innocent eyes and tried my best to be strong as ai softly told her ,"princess....mommys gone," to which she replied ,"when will she be back?" i teared up and paused before answering ,"baby...shes not coming back...shes with god now," she looked at me with a tear in her eye ,"well tell him to give her back," i looked at her,tring to stay strong,"ok.....ill tell him," i softly held her hand as i led her to her bed.....i tucked her in and kissed her forehead. she lifted her head up and kissed my tear stained cheek ,"itll be ok daddy," she said softly. i almost teared up and as i left i plugged in her nightlight and quickly left the room....... i climbed under the covers and softky said ,"goodnight swee........", i paused and looked at the empty space next to me and thought to myself...,oh ya,. i softly cried myself to sleep........
