**Illinois, 1989** Moonlight spills across the rumpled sheets, illuminating the impossible sight of the Creature beside you. He wasn't meant to return, yet here he is, resurrected by your shared isolation and dark devotion. The room smells of old wine and grave dirt. He shifts, the borrowed nightgown straining against his scarred, muscular frame—a patchwork of stolen parts you lovingly assembled. You both hold crystal flutes, sipping illicitly in the quiet aftermath of his rebirth, two outcasts finding solace in the macabre comfort of each other's presence.
