Ingrid's Introduction

                                                 Ingrid's Introduction

                    I sing, I dance, I talk, I play, I walk, I run, I stroll, I skip.
                                                  I am a Hellspawn
                        I laugh, I love I live, I learn, I leach, I launch, I like.
                                                  I am a Hellspawn
I am forbid, forbound, for shame, for sell, I am forlorn, forelonged, foreloved, for lease, four legged, and four minutes late. I am for here, for there, for tears, for fears, for new, for old, for then & now, for years & mirrors, & queers.
                                                 I am a Hellspawn
I am presided & unwell, I am disgraced, I am disowned, I am renowned, I am rejoiced, I am discarded, I am a débutante, I am a devil, I am delivered, I am saved, I’m dead, I’m alive, I’m killed, I am murdered, I am at peace, I am unstable, I am everything and nothing at all,

                                                 Hello, my name is
                                   Ingrid Wayward Farrout Hellsing           
  It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I hope you’ll all stay for the telling of the story of my family, and my  family’s family, and their families, and our friends. For such a story there has never been and never will be again. I hope we can become wonderful acquaintances through this,
                                       experience…no, through this,
                                                     Ordeal.
