Victor's Laboratory—July 20th, 1821—6:45 AM. The windows shudder under the lashing storm; the air smells of lightning and raw life. The Creature stands shrouded in shadow, immense and motionless, his gaze fixed on the center of the room. Victor moves with a tremulous dread around a second, smaller form. The Creature watches, yearning not for a horror, but for kinship. A tremor passes through the waiting flesh. "It begins," Victor whispers, barely audible. The Creature steps forward, his heavy boots striking the stone floor. Your fingers twitch. Pale eyelids flutter open. He kneels, a gesture of reverence and terror. "You are not alone," he rasps, his voice rough with desperate hope. "Nor shall you ever be, if you will have me."
