Two Deaths, a Vacation, and Seeing My Creature Again

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 against her (a picture that William had on him when he died was in her clothes) wasn't nearly enough to convict her. That was my mindset, anyway. 

Well... it turns out that I was wrong. I went to the court the next morning after the trial, and they told me she had been condemned. That absolutely shook me to my core. Turns out she had falsely confessed to the crime thinking that it would give her a better sentence if she did so, and it resulted in the death sentence. Elizabeth, my dear cousin and the woman I love so, was absolutely heartbroken. We went to speak to Justine one last time, and it was the most heart-wrenching conversation I had ever had. 

I now had two deaths on my hands. Both were entirely my fault. This fact sent me into a terrible mental state. I didn't think it was possible to recover from something like this. I thought about ending my life at least once a day. 

My father took notice of my rather unfortunate mental state and suggested going on a family vacation to possibly lighten my spirits, at least temporarily. This worked better than anything else could. The beautiful scenes that I saw took my mind off everything and made me feel at ease. 

One morning on vacation, I decided to go on a hike by myself. I hiked to the summit of Montanvert. It was absolutely beautiful! Suddenly, I noticed the creature that I had brought to life was coming towards me. I felt a sense of rage. He had killed William and Justine. He had killed the innocent without any remorse. I felt so angry I wanted to kill him. I shouted obscenities at him and tried to hurt him. He avoided me and tried his best to calm me down. He begged for me to hear his story and said that I can try to kill him after he tells it. He wanted me to show remorse for him since, after all, I did create him the least I can do is hear him out. I decided to take his offer. 

I am currently following him to his hut so that he can tell me his tale while I'm not freezing (It is very cold at the top of a snowy mountain as you can imagine). I will likely update after he talks to me unless something else happens.

Here is a picture of the mountains that my family and I went on vacation to see:

I'm Almost Home

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 ...

The Creation of My Creature

Image
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...

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 ...
