If you were to ask anyone other than myself, they would most definitely say I am eccentric, perhaps even insane. Alas, I don’t like to associate myself with the more common folk you know for I am a connoisseur.
You must be thinking to yourself that surely there is nothing special about me. No, perhaps you see me no more than one of the common folk that scurry along just living their plain and boring lives that God has given them. However, I like to be different.
Different how?
Well, as I had mentioned not too long ago, I am a connoisseur my dear friend. I enjoy life and all its finer things.
Things like what?
Well, all things really but especially things that regular people would find, how should I say, disturbing, if they really knew the amount of work I put into my hobbies.
Now, now, no need to fret, my friend. I would love to give you an exclusive look at my work. It really is no trouble to me at all. Now then, does anyone know you’re here? Ah, well, never mind my silly questions. Think no more of it, love.
You see, as I’ve said before I enjoy the finer things. By that I mean I enjoy going beyond the threshold. I like pushing the limit of what others may not even dream of or attempt.
Come with me for a moment. I just want to show you my personal gallery and workshop. Not many get to see such art. Not many would understand, you know? But you’re different. I can tell just by looking at you that’s why I brought you here. Why am I locking the door? Why, this is my private room you see. I don’t let just anyone in here.
Why?
Well, I love painting as you can see. I make all the paints myself. The models in the pictures, well, let’s just say that some put their blood, sweat, and tears into my pieces. I couldn’t have made such art without them. You see, it’s quite hard to find such a rich shade of red; it’s hard to obtain such quality canvases as well. so I treasure the beauty of it all once my works are complete.
Oh, yes!
Before I forget, let me show you my doll collection. I am proud to say that I’ve made them myself. Don’t be shy. Please have a look. They’re quite lifelike, aren’t they? Depending on material at hand, it usually takes me a few months to make one. I only use the best material, you know, and good material is so hard to come by.
Now, if you would follow me - my, you don’t seem too well. Is something the matter? Pardon? Did you say that one of the dolls blinked? No, no, my dear. You’re sadly mistaken. My dolls don’t move.
Wait, where are you going? You must get going, you say? Well, that truly is unfortunate, my dear. The door is locked, you say? Of course it is. Don’t you remember me saying that I couldn’t just have random people entering this place? Well, I just can’t have people walking out of here either. How else could I get my resources.
Come now. Don’t look at me like that. I brought you here because you have potential. I wouldn’t dare let just anyone come in here without a purpose. You’re of rare quality after all. Please don’t look at me look like that, love. I am a lover of beauty. I just want to make you into a work of art that will last forever. I want to make you into something that no one else could ever achieve.
You say that I'm trying to play God?
I really do wish you would stop looking at me like that. It’s distasteful. You’re starting to look at me like the commoners do. You're just being closed-minded
I’m not crazy. You’re just uncultured. If anything, that alone just makes me want to use you even more. Now, doesn’t that sound nice?
I’m not crazy. I wish you would stop acting like those undignified people outside. I’m not crazy.
I’m a connoisseur and you have the honor of being my latest work of art.
