The Five Reasons Why Victor Frankenstein Failed:

1. He didn't focus on reviving the person, only their body.

2. Organs are not just organs. 

3. His payroll was of little amount. 

4. He didn't have a good understanding of neuropathways in the brain.

5. Axon Diameters aren't that big. 


Day one of experimentation:

Date: September 12, 2022

The Subject:

1. Male

2. 6'10" tall

3. 190 pounds

4. Profession: Poet

5. Status: Recently Dead

6. Cause of Death: Car Crash, bled to death

7. Damage to Body: Legs crushed, Left hand crushed, Brain relatively undamaged. 

Notes:

I let the body settle to full rigor and then pulled the male subject out for inspection. Brain seems to only have damage from rattling, most likely procured from the car crash that ended his life. Poet's known mental state wasn't troubled, so his executive brain state must have been used in most of his everyday experiences. Memories will be easiest to access. 

All cords and electrical conductors are plugged into the television screen, ready to for pictures or sound if all goes well. My detailed X-ray readings from the subject's brain show clear spots of learning and observation within the cerebral cortex, prefrontal cortex, etc. Inserting scanner now.

Scan complete. Although the subject is no longer alive for the brain to send out electrical currents, the prefrontal cortex provides light descriptions of what I assume is the subject's old house, which he must have frequented in every day. Descriptions are pulled from directorial readings in which the subject documented using landmarks. Connections between concepts and facts seem to be strong and easily identifiable. Unfortunately, the computer cannot process the information fast enough and it won't be ready for review until next week.


Hi, if you're reading this I'm sorry if the next chapter won't be out for a while. This just popped into my head one day so I'm not expecting a lot of views. Sorry. 

Comment if you'd like me to continue writing this more often, otherwise I won't pay much attention to it. Thanks.
