Wendell: "Untitled" Intro by *ZomaS-M:iconZomaS-M:

Categories Literature > Prose > Fiction > Life Stories


Wendell


Untitled
by
Felix Haydn

I wonder if my life is a lie. I want it to be a lie.

Labels would call what I have perfection. Little children dream every day of becoming the celebrity that I am. Both men and women have thrown themselves at me. And I've made millions doing what I love.

Fame. Fortune. Success.

Perfection?

That has to be a lie. There's no such thing as perfection.

So I've had my doubts. And I've learned to make my life a lie.

You are reading the work of someone known as Felix Haydn. Though people have screamed that name at me for years, it is not, and it has never been, my name.

Lie Number One.

I am Wendell Carmen.

When one has an image to protect, they'll fight to protect it from everything. First starting out, I had to protect my work from myself. I do believe I was in denial about it all, really. Nobody in my life had ever said I was anything other than great. My parents doted on my sick little body when I was young, and fellow students always looked to me for all the answers.

Perfection?

Lie Number Two.

I always recognized the fucked up way people saw me. How could I have been perfect? I was sick. I was stupid. And their adoration made me fucking miserable. So I had to change things.

I created Felix Haydn at the start of my high school career. And he evolved. Felix was the perfection everybody wanted to see.

I just wanted to see myself.

I wanted to see Wendell.

And thanks to her, I finally did.

Perfection?

Lie Number Three.

So if I'm such a liar, how can you count on anything I say being the truth?

But believe me. If you never trust me again, believe me when I say this.

This is all true.

This has all happened.

I am Wendell Carmen. And I killed Jezebel Gibson.

The introduction to Wendell's story. He wrote it himself in his diary. It's a strange introduction, I know. But Wendell is a strange person.

*Quick note: I don't think that some profanity, mild violence, and a little sexuality necessitates the Mature Content Filter. If YOU think otherwise, then mine is not the gallery you should be visiting. This does NOT mean that I use these subjects a lot; only when needed or relevant to characterization or plot, and in my more extreme submissions the Mature Content Filter WILL be used. But it's life. Live it or get over it.

Well I'm trying. I just see some aspects of Wendell as beyond my skill. They're so real to me. I can only draw so many styles.

As soon as I saw you were going to explain things in your Author's Comments, I stopped reading them. I prefer the ambiguity of this. I am intrigued, and I am hooked. An excellent, grab-the-reader-by-the-throat opening. :worship: I may not get to the rest right away: My own to-do list calls, but I will. And don't think for a moment it is because I don't like this. I do. And I am sure it will tempt me away from other chores time and time again. Wonderful start.

I saw just one typo (which others may have already pointed out, but just in case): "I created Felix Haydn as the start..." I think you meant "as" to be "at".

I love the diary format, it seems a lot more interactive with the reader than it actually is. >.> Formalism, as in the form, not like fancy balls, is always a fun strategy. And I'm looking fwd to more. :D

It's a strange format because it's so personal and so IMpersonal all at once. I've never written like this before. I'm looking forward to where it goes too :D
