It is a cold, blustery winter’s night, in January, when Alfred, is awakened by the sound of two voices. The monster within himself, awakens. A small smirk crosses his thin lips “Finally”.
The Characters and this Novel are all fictional.
There was a great need to find a home for Alfred.
North Brother’s Island contains much of its own, historical and eventful stories. Alfred, I assure you, is not one of them.
After living some of my own life history I am aware of the Genetic Genes within our human bodies. I am often asked “How is it, I have become so normal from such a messed up life?”
This is the madness, which I feel gives the power to the human Ego. Are we truly all to inherit our blood lines and the abuses many face? I believe my Friends it takes a Strong Will, to escape the torture within.
Then again….. After this …. Am I So NORMAL?
Alfred, just may see you in the next ….
