The Sickly Doctor

We've decided that our blog needs mascots. So we made some! They are slightly out of the ordinary and their stories may be more or less depressing, but don't judge. They're awesome. Because they're all dastardly. And awkward. Hence the awesome. Okay. I will stop with the short sentences now. And move on. Seriously. Here I go.

The Silent Gentleman.

As time has shown, 

Sits in the corner,

Quiet and alone.

The Dastardly Magician

So dastardly and vile,

Waits quietly 

With an evil smile.

The Sickly Doctor

Gleeful and childish,

Watches with his balloon,

Waiting to fulfill his violent wish.

Now we decided to have a poetic background story for each mascot. We're only going to do one in this post, and we chose to write the Sickly Doctor's first. Enjoy! I guess... if you like kind of sad things... um, anyway...

His story begins at eight years of age

When the fatal Black Plague was on a deathly rampage.

Infected with the sickness, the boy was in grief.

His parents knew his life was over, his time was brief.

They wanted a solution, they gifted him a red balloon,

Hoping in vain that his disease would subside soon.

They knew it was futile, and so it was true,

They boy became worse, his soul was due. 

His father a doctor, helped to no avail.

He fell sick and soon after, died of the plague as well. 

With no warning or explanation, the boy's soul did not part.

It occupied his body, yet no blood continued to pump in his heart.

If this phenomenon was a curse or a gift, the boy could not guess.

When his mother discovered him, she did not love him any less.

Eventually his small shell of a body showed signs of decay,

He donned his father's newly altered uniform and mask to hide the evidence away.

As time passed, his mother grew old and no longer uttered a breath,

They boy wandered through the years, constantly haunted by death.

Red balloon still firmly in hand, he found himself in a time of manners and money,

Stranded on the doorstep of the Silent Gentleman, a mime in appearance, but so far from funny. 

Now here's a picture of him riding a unicorn! Woohoo!

P.S. The costume worn by the Sickly Doctor is one that plague doctors used to wear while treating patients so they wouldn't contract the plague. Wikipedia it.
