A DIARY ENTRY BY VINCENT
Today was the best day I ever had in my whole life. Catherine came to me for some advice. She always comes to me for help. One day I saw her lying on the ground and she was hurt and she had scratches all over her face so I carried her back to my secret place. She was asking me what my name was and I told her that my name was Vincent. Then I asked her what her name was and she told me that her name was Catherine. Everyday, I think about her and I can feel what she feels. She lives above and I live below the city streets. I hide my face from strangers. But Catherine is never ashamed about my face. When she first saw me she was frightened and she had every right to be. The man who always took care of me is Father. He is a very good father too. He didn't think too much of Catherine when he saw her for the first time but he got to trust her later. He takes care of me and the orphans that live with us. He took care of me ever since I was young. Then there's this kid who lives with us. His name is Mouse. He doesn't say much but he is very smart. He knows every tunnel and he is very good explaining things to us. He sometimes breaks the rules but he is still a good kid. Then there's Jamie. She hangs around sometimes but she is always with Mouse. That's all I can think of for now. If I think of anything more, I'll make sure to write it down.
