A Trouble With The Mind (DenNor) <Wattys2016>

Another Story Time, The Tale Of Mathias Kohler

~Mathias' POV~

People see me and one word they always use to describe me? It's always happy.

I am a happy person, from the happy country of Denmark. Though, there's a reason I left.

That country brought nothing but pain for me. I was dropped off as a child. I never knew my parents. I was in an orphanage until age 17.

No one wanted me. 

I was too loud. Too hyper.

I can't help the way I function, it's not my fault I'm overly hyper.

I left the orphanage at age 17, they said I was old enough to support myself. And that's what I did.

I finished my schooling and went to college.

I have no clue why, but I felt as though a medic's degree would be right. So, I majored in medics and started off as a nurse.

I was quickly promoted to a doctor. I was then taken into surgery, which I didn't really feel right doing.

I don't like knowing I can't save a life.

I have a degree in nursing, medics, and surgery, though I doubt I'll ever need my surgery degree again.

I don't have any siblings that I know of.

And even though I have thousands of dollars, I live in a one bedroom apartment.

Why?

I donate all my extra profits to chairety.

People shouldn't have to suffer. It hurts to see them that way.

A few months after I earned my degrees, I was transferred to America for a full time job at a hospital. I love my job and all my collages.

Though, I still feel lonely.

I've been alone my whole life. I can't have a dog or cat because I'm allergic to pet dander. Snakes and lizards are too slimy and fish are boring.

I've thought all of my life, no one would like me.

No one would need me.

But, now I realized, everyday someone needs me. I save someone everyday.

And that's why I can be so lonely and still be the happiest guy around.

I wouldn't mind having a child of my own.

I want a girl. I'd name her Daisy Mae, because Daisies are such happy flowers. And Mae because that was our caretaker's name at the orphanage.

But, that wouldn't happen because I don't exactly like women all too much.

I swing the other way.

Of course, I have to keep that under wrap at work. I am known in several countries, and that would mess up my career if someone found out.

I can't stand illnesses with no cure.

Even cancer has a bit of a cure, I still hate it.

These people are born into the world, with problems they can't help. Just to live for a short time, to prematurely die?

It's not fair at all.

I've had many cases though, where I have to give someone up to surgery, and they die in the middle of the operation.

Or when there's a code blue and I can't get the heart to restart.

It's sad, but it's my field of work.
