just a one shot I thought of :) the heath ledger joker is like my hero so i'm writing some more stuff about him :D basically the joker is in arkham asylym and this is just his thoughts on when his 5 year old daughter comes to visit him.
Today I am up bright and early but I am not up to cause trouble or plot an escape. My pills to make me well are on the side with some breakfast and some water and I take them without any trouble. "Hmm, no freak outs today then?" asks the cocky guard smirking. I do not even react. He wants me to snap. He wants me to ruin my special day but I won't.
I take a look in the mirror and see I am wearing my painted clown face. I scrub and scrub until my scars burn. I look at my now fresh face. It disgusts me but I will do anything to be perfect today.
I watch the clock as it ticks wishing it would hurry up. I think about taking a nap but then that would be stupid! What if I slept through and missed the very thing that keeps me going.
Finally it is time and I am led through the hall and sat down in a chair. I smile as her little head comes bobbing through the door. Its not a fake or an exaggerated smile. It is an actual smile. The woman with her lifts her up on a chair and leaves. I'm not surprised but I don't really care.
The only thing that crushes me on these special days is the unbreakable glass that is between us but I carry on smiling. "daddy!". The name that I really love. 'Joker' was a cover. Something for enemies to use. When she said 'daddy' it was filled with love. She was the reason I lived. she thinks I am the greatest person in the world. To her I am a super hero who isn't afraid of anything. To her the scars on my face are a smile.
She hands me a drawing which she slides under the glass. She has made me look like the cat from alice in wonderland which makes me laugh. She tells me how many gold stars she has got in school and how her best friend is coming to her 6th birthday party. I feel like someone has ripped my heart out. Missing another one of her birthdays would be deverstating.
She tells me how she is having a hello kitty cake which I don't really know what that is but I go along with it nodding happily. The buzz rings over the top of our heads. Her smiling face turns sad knowing that the time is up. She places her tiny hand on the glass and I place mine there too. "I love you" I say trying to fight back the urge to demand the guard to let me have more time. "I love you this much" she says stretching out her arms as far as they will go.
In my cell I hold the picture she drew tightly. I won't cry. I will not let anyone see me cry. right now I am the greatest daddy in the whole of the world but I know the truth. One day the visits will stop. She wil grow older and realise what I am. Her hero will turn into a monster. Instead of being there to catch her when she falls I will rot here alone. Daddy will drift away and I will die as the Joker.
end :) hope you liked it! read and review? tell me if its shit or not :P
