This creature is going to be the death of me! Ever since I last updated, I have had another tragedy happen to me. I didn't think it was possible for more to happen, but it sure did! After the creature I had created told me his story, I felt a world of emotions. He had experienced terrible things and injustices, however, he had admitted to me that he killed Justine and William. This was inexcusable! I felt a rage burn within me again. He asked me to create a female for him since nobody else would show him companionship. Naturally, I refused. He begged over and over and said that he would never do any evil again and that he would never be seen again if I did so. I was very hesitant because what if he didn't follow through with the plans he described to me? He and the creature I would create could do twice as much evil! After much thought, I finally gave in and told him that I would create a female for him.  When my family and I got back to Geneva, my father told me that he would ...

I apologize for not updating in so long. So many things have been happening in my life that have taken my focus away from updating you guys.  After I had recovered from my illness and was in a good mental state again, I decided that I would return home. The day that I was meant to go home I received a letter from my father. He stated that my younger brother, William, was dead! How absolutely terrible! I knew that it was the miserable, hideous creature that I had made that killed him. His death was entirely my fault. The guilt I felt was immeasurable. Once I had finally reached home and walked in, I was welcomed in by my family. I felt the sadness and grief from the moment I walked in. Just a few moments after being back home, I found out even more terrible news. Justine, a close family friend who is practically family, was accused of killing William! I knew it wasn't her because I knew exactly who killed him. I thought that she would never be convicted because the evidence they had...

It took me a while to figure out what kind of creature to create. I didn't know whether I wanted to create a small, simple creature or something as complicated as a human. I decided to create a giant creature about eight feet tall.  Now, a lot of you guys are going to think the way that I collected the materials for this creature was not really... morally correct. I robbed several graves and tore the limbs of corpses off to put on this creature. In my defense nobody was really using these parts anymore so why not put them to use? I think these people would understand. It's in the name of science and creation! Anyhow, it took me two years to create this creature. I ended up isolating myself from others so that I could focus on my creation as much as possible. It wasn't my intention, it just kind of happened. I felt really guilty because my dad told me that he wanted me to keep in contact with them, but I needed to work and keep focused on what I was doing.  I ended up neglec...

My philosophy has taken a dramatic change. I had been studying the works of Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, and Albertus Magnus. Although their views were very old and never actually proven, I believed them with my whole heart. You can imagine the shock when I found out that the things they preached and wrote about were all lies. I guess the idea of raising ghosts or devils was a little silly, but the idea of doing so still fascinates me!  Anyhow, I found out that the beliefs that these philosophers preached were false when something occurred that completely discredited them. Lightning struck a tree, leaving nothing behind. My father explained to me that this natural phenomena was something called "electricity" and showed me a few experiments exhibiting the power of it. This completely disproved everything that the philosophers had written about and left me heartbroken.  Later, when I went off to college, I had a few professors that taught me about natural philosophy. It is fu...
