The Creation of My Creature

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 neglecting my own needs and stopped sleeping. It really took a toll on my health; I got really sick. I couldn't spend a second away from working on my creation, though. I promised myself that I would let myself rest once I was done. 

The night that I had finally finished my creature and brought it to life is one that I will never forget. I had been making the creature in my apartment and once it was fully assembled, I used my instruments and brought it to life. I had been so excited and worked nonstop on this creature. All my excitement and enthusiasm went away the moment the creature opened its eyes. I suddenly felt disgusted and a sense of horror... what had I created? What had I done?

I ran from my creature into my bedroom. I decided to try to get some sleep but that idea didn't last long. I awoke during the night to the creature standing over me. I was terrified even looking at the being that I created. I ran out of the apartment and never quit moving. 

I suddenly saw Henry Clerval! My best friend since childhood! I was so happy to see him. He mentioned to me that I looked very ill and he was concerned for the state of my health. I took him to my apartment and once we arrived, I had a complete nervous breakdown.

I have been recovering for many months and Henry has been taking care of me. He is truly an angel and I am so grateful I have him by my side. I likely won't update until I am fully recovered. 

here is a picture of Henry for anyone wondering:

I was proved to be innocent! You can imagine the shock that I felt.  Somehow, being proven innocent made me feel all the much worse. I should have been declared guilty. I should have gotten the death sentence. By all accounts I truly am the cause of William's, Justine's, and Henry's deaths. I expressed this many times to my father, telling him that it should have been me and not them. Naturally, he thought I had lost my mind. If only he knew.  He insisted we travel a bit more since he knew it made me happy and got my mind off of things. I agreed, but not even that could make me feel happy anymore. All that I thought about was Henry and the moments I spent with him traveling. It made me miss him all the much more.  I got a letter from Elizabeth asking if I actually loved her and wanted to marry her. I hate that she thought I didn't! She is the love of my life and the one whom I want to live with and be with for the rest of my life! I wrote her back telling her this, but ...

Goodbye, Henry Clerval

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 ...
