Thoughts of the Beast

Angered. My master was angered by the sight of my
Beaten face. I was confused and
Curious. Why be frightened by your own creation? So I left.
Discontent was all I felt as I scavenged and lost myself.
Empty. That’s how I felt as I read my master’s hate-filled notes about how
Fearful he was of me - his mistake. But then, I found them. The cottage people.
Gentle I was to them. I wanted to be able to be apart of them, their family. But
Hideous is all they saw me as, all they treated me as. Til they left.
“I am alone and miserable.” No one loved me or wanted me. They
Judged me by my horrid appearance. I had this urge to go about
Killing each and every one of them starting with Frankenstein.
Love is all i sought. A
Meaningful life full of joy. I remembered the good days, watching the family.
Nostalgia is what I choose. To look back on their love-filled lives.
Optimistic is how it made me feel. But I am
Pitiful. Why should a horrid creature with
Questionable intentions be gifted with a wonderful life like that. They
Rejected me. Time after time. It hurts, but I must be
Stronger than this. I must use the
Teachings to tell and share my story so I may be
Understood. No! They will never listen! I will finally let
Vengeance rule my life! Get rid of these puny,
Weak humans. Then I found his love, Victor’s own blood. This “William” staring
fearful, but boldly, at my
Xanthous colored skin that his brother cursed upon me. With the life of his
Youngling gone, he will know that I have come. With great
Zeal, I will find him and finally make him pay.
