Dear heavenly father my name is Quasimodo or Quasi as i am known as and i am 20 years old and bell ringer of the beautiful Notra Dame cathedral in the City of Paris France and i have lived their all my life with my master Frollo and my good friends the Gargoyles who are like family to me and help care for me too well apart from Frollo who is no longer in our family
you see father i have done a terrible thing something that i will have to live with till my dying days and i don't think i could ever be forgiven yet the kindly Archdeacon said if i repent that you might forgive me but i doubt that you could as i have committed the most terrible sin ever i have killed my master in a fit of rage tee very same man who took me in as a tiny helpless infant and shielded me from the cruel world outside
he raised me within the safety of these walls of this beautiful cathedral i call home ad with only the archdeacon and a few brave monks who will look at me without fear as you see father i'm a monster a freak
Before i was born i think for some unknown reason you played a cruel little joke on me and made me the way i am a deformed hunchbacked monster almost blind in one eye ad a face that would scare everyone and also i'm the ugliest man in all Paris but it might as well be the whole world as noone will look at me but only to mock me and master always told me that the world was a cruel dark place and he was right yes he was good to me and i loved him like a father
Master Frollo taught me to read and write he also taught me English and to speak and write in fluent latin also he clothed me and kept me clean and tidy and trimmed my hair wen it got too long ad he'd bring me the best of food and wine and over lessons we would have lunch and yes i will treasure those moments we had and i do admit that Frollo was like a father to me he cared so but sadly i was forbidden to call him papa
our relationship was alright i guess he was very strict with but he could be very fair and he dod forbid a lot of things like going outside incase i'd scare the towns people as they were not ready to look at someone as hideous as me as i would give them nightmares and make the children cry so i just did what Frollo told me to do and stayed within the cathedral walls where it was safe and watching the people from high above and out of sight and o'd ring the bells calling them to prayer to just letting them catch a fleeting glimpse of me but i made sure that they didn't see my face but that was my life really and making models and little ornaments to brighten up my room
i made a beautiful model of the town the buildings and the cathedral of course and i made the people and even myself and i'd act out little stories of myself going outside and being accepted by all the people and i was their friend ad their was no bulling or name calling in nothing like that everyone was all nice and friendly but how things should be going but sadly things weren't like that and i learnt the hard way then SHE appeared in my life
when i say she i mean that dark haired tanned skin Angel with stunning Emerald green eyes and the kind smile and how she helped me that day
All my life i so longed to go to the festival of fools i watched it every year from high above and i wanted to be part of it
the Festival was a big non official holiday in held a few days after the New year in January and master went every year to oversee things he said but he forbid me from going and it looked so much fun too as the entire town went men women and children and they all had a great time and their was so much to do at the festival games dancing bands playing crafts food drink plays everything really and master said he hated it but i think it was the Gypsies he hated as they helped run the festival
Now the Gypsies had bern in paris as long as i could reminder really and some of the towns people hated them like master did and they wanted the Gypsies gone for good but other people didn't mind them and like myself and i had seen them come and go about the square in their bright clothes on being noisy and one Gypsy man the leader of them seems to know a lot about me and he holds little puppet shows in the square for the children and he is very well liked by the children as he has a good way with them but enough of that really as he is not my problem
well i broke masters rule and went to the festival egged on by my friends the gargoyles and that was when i seen her that raven haired beauty iwas dragged into a wild dance and accidentally fell into her tent and she did get a start but she was real nice and told me to be careful and at rhe time she thought i was wearing a mask
I remember her wearing a blueish coulored robe and she smelt really nice like flowers and she had glossy thick wavy black hair way down her back so i smiled thanked her and left not knowing who she was apart from being a Gypsy but i later found out that her name was Esmeralda who meaning Emerals and she had stunning eyes like Emeralds and she danced like an angel and sang and teased master with her scarf yet he was not happy by it and also someone said that she was a Gypsy princess who but i knew she would never love the likes of me people as beautiful as her don't go for monsters like me to but i kind of developed feelings for her as i watched her dance with fixated by her till her dance ended and thats when i was pulled up on stage and like it or not i was entered in their king of fools contest as everyone thought i was wearing a mask until Esmeralda whispered to me
'Time to take off your mask come on don't be shy and'But she soon found out it was no mask but my face and she looked terrified and jumped back in fear but thankfully the Gypsy leader reassured everyone and then i was crowned their king and things were really good everyone liked me and chanted my name and i felt so important and very happy master was wrong the people accepted me and i was so so happy
