It was horrible, his ear looked like raw hamburger attached to the side of his head, I had to look away for fear of becoming sick. The boys' hair had gotten a little long so earlier in the day Judy had given them a trim. She wielded those blades of fury and went all Barber of Seville on Josh, luckily Jacob was spared (his hair does look nice though). I nearly fainted when I first saw it, the sight was overwhelming, blood and sinew everywhere. It was so bad the governor called out the National Guard to make sure an immediate path to the hospital was available.
He even scrambled two fighters to protect the air space and make sure there were no additional threats to this poor, maimed, defenseless little boy.
A State of Emergency had been declared, the trauma was just that severe. Police, Fire, Ambulance, Postal...no service was left idle in coming to the aid of Joshua Edwin Ganote.
The vigil to save this poor young man went on into the night, and not a soul left the scene. The outpouring of support was overwhelming. Well wishes came in from across the globe.
Eventually the bleeding was stopped and the appendage reattached. One of the surgeons said Joshua was putting on a brave face after the reconstructive surgery, but that the damage done was too severe to ever fully heal. He was quoted saying "John Merrick would have an easier time blending in with society than this poor child will have."
Now if you are ready I will present this image of illicit audacity to flesh, look if you dare! It is one of the most horrific sights you will witness, you've been warned.
