47Epilogue.
*****This is in David's POV. I figured it would be fun to write it this way. SUE ME.*****
Another dreadful day at school. Got some bad news from Danni. Still reeling.
She's a year older than me, you see, so she's going to college next year. Well, she got accepted into a really nice college on the other side of the country. I won't be able to see her once the next school year starts. We're thinking of breaking up about that- don't wanna go through the hardships of a long distance relationship, you know.
I did it again. I walked into the house after school and yelled, "I'm home, Dolly!" I keep forgetting she isn't here anymore.
God, I miss her.
Of course, the doll itself isn't the only thing she left behind. I've still got all her drawings that she put up on the wall. They're really cute, in a messed up kiddie way. Things like, "I luv my master!" with pictures of the two of us hugging and hearts everywhere. I don't think I'd ever be able to get rid of them. They mean so much to me.
I told Danni the whole story with Dolly and such. She was really touched. I'm glad she believed me, a story like that is kinda crazy sounding. She felt really bad for me. I guess she understood how much I cared for Dolly. I guess that's because Danni's a girl- girls tend to be all sensitive and can tell when somthing has hurt you really badly. And this HAS hurt me.
It's so wierd going to the 7- Eleven all alone now. Every once in a while a cashier will ask me, "Hey! Where's your doll?" I ususally don't say anything to that, I'm often sucking on my Icee when they ask and I never really feel like diverting my attention away from that.
Dear God, I miss her so much!
I keep the doll on my bed now. It sounds childish, but I hug up to that thing when I go to sleep now. It's the only thing that lets me sleep anymore. Yeah, go ahead and laugh. There's nothing stopping you now. No Dolly to cut your vocal cords out.
Even if she came back and was violent again, I'd still want her here. I miss her that much. I tried summoning her back, you know, but it didn't work. I guess whoever's in charge of her doesn't want her near me anymore.
Oh my God, I just thought of somthing.
I never took her to school with me. That's the whole reason she stopped killing in the first place, and... and now it's too late.
I think I'm gonna be ill.
Author's notes.
This thing has been in my head since I first got a basic idea of what JtHM was about off the internet. But Dolly was an undeveloped thing in my head, another voice to add volume to the head noise. One day on the school bus I closed my eyes to take a quick nap and an image popped into my head. Like any image in my head, it was fuzzy and incomplete. At dinner that night I spent the entire time scribbling pictures of the image. Eventually I ended up with somthing similar to what I have now.
But her personality, other than her love of killing, was undefined.
A few weeks later I came up with the basic outline for David's appearance. He too was an undeveloped blob of any personality trait I could come up with, any one of these would come or go as the situation in my head deemed fit.
After writing many a comic, I began drawing Dolly a little happier... the first appearance of this was in the third comic, which is NOT veiwable on my site and never will be.
David's current personality wouldn't appear until much later.
Dolly kept getting cuter and sillier, although her love of death and doom stayed the same.
David began to develop into a suicidal guy. This would change later.
An entire summer vacation later I got the idea for this story. By then, David had become a more friendly, life- loving guy. He was the David of today.
I decided that, in order to do a full story, I'd need a third character. I had had a few ideas for scenes with this character, but it had no defined presonality, appearance, nothing.
Firstoff, I drew some pictures. I chose the second picture drawn as her final appearance. At first, she was THE hardest character to draw, but as I got used to her, and her appearance began to look more like it does today, she became easier and the most fun to draw.
You'll notice a BIG difference in how Dorcia talks if you compare chapter 2 to, say, chapter 12. That's because she was still a new character when the story started and had no definite manner of speaking. In the spinoff, you'll see much more consistency with such things.
Danni was somthing I came up with on a whim. I had always toyed with the idea of David having a girlfriend, but had never thought seriously of it until I got the that chapter and was all like, "Heeeeey! I'm gonna have David have a crush on some chick!" And I loved the idea.
I like Danni. She's neat. And she's pretty. And she could really be a great character, if I develop her more.
Mmyep.
