FIRST KNOWN ENTRY
Dated: November 23rd, 2006
My name is Travis Abbot Friedman. Son to Isabelle and Roger Friedman. I am now 18, but something extraordinary has happened. Something has changed my body...I don't even know how to describe it. But this change has also managed to ruin my life, completely.
I have found this spiral notebook, and am writing to my best ability the change of my life. I will write any key changes I feel need to be written. If you are reading this, you might understand what is happening. I may be dead or in isolation.
There are voices in my head. Voices, that sound like those of everyday people I hear in the street. They don't tell me what to do, they sound like thoughts. Thoughts about personal feelings. The input of the voices is overwhelming to my head, and I can't control it. It hurts, but that's not the least of it.
When I first discovered this, I was lying on my bed in my apartment room. The voices seemed to strike my head immediately. In my shock, something happened to the pipes in the ceiling. Water seemed to burst in great force from the pipes. I will not go into the details of what happened afterwards, but as a result of this incident, I am now homeless.
I don't know why this happened. Or why this happened to me, but as a result of this change in my body, I am homeless, and my closest friend is now afraid of me. I guess she doesn't understand, and neither do I. However, I really wish she would have stayed with me.
I don't know if this is also another change, but I can somehow also breath underwater. I can also see better, hear better, move faster, and adapt much better to my environment in water alone. When I'm in water, I feel, well, great. I feel almost like there's a power surging within me. I feel at peace. I cannot fully describe it. But the water has also seemed to respond to my emotions, and I''m not sure if I'm just plain crazy, but I just might be able to control it.
It's been a hard night. I will look into this more during the next few days. Quite possibly the rest of my life. I am homeless now, and I cannot go anywhere near the public in my shape.
-T.A.F.
