A Bouquet of Dead Flowers

Introduction

What is normal? How do you define normal? Many people choose to sacrifice difference in order to fit into the mainstream culture of the world. And to fit into an expected personality.

I have always been different from others. I was the child who sat at the back of the classroom, drawing disturbing little things in my book. No one dared to try and approach me with harmful intent. Who would? I was the only girl in the school who owned a guillotine.

They would always whisper to others kids, "Don't go near that Addams girl. She'll rip you apart."

I'll admit they weren't wrong.

The Addams property stuck out like a sore thumb from the cheery abodes of the neighbors. A big dark mansion next to a cemetery would be the place most girl scouts always skip. Especially after hearing what happened to the last few who knocked on our door.

My mother told me I'd find people like us who will respect us, regardless of who we are. I highly doubted it, I haven't seen it outside of our family. I never thought I would find someone to spend the rest of my life with.

But when I was young, I met a boy. A boy who had lived on the streets before we took him in. And he seemed like a dream come true to me. He was funny but serious. He was unpleasant but charming. He was kooky but...not too kooky.

My name is Wednesday Friday Addams, and I will never forget the man who changed my outlook on life forever.
