Gris Grimly's Frankenstein

A dark shadow consumed Frankenstein’s life as guilt and remorse ruled his every thought. He felt empty, drained of all emotion after the loss of William and Justine. Frankenstein thought about taking revenge against his monster and avoided suicide only because of Elizabeth. Seeing this, Frankenstein’s father suggested a trip to the Chamounix Valley, an isolated area in the middle of the mountains.

When they arrived at their destination, Frankenstein’s mood lightened enough that his father and Elizabeth noticed a change and were delighted. The next morning, however, it rained heavily and his dark mood returned. Frankenstein wandered in the snow, asking for the spirits to take him, when he came upon his monster. Frankenstein challenged the monster, and each bared their teeth at one another as Frankenstein called the monster abhorrent and swore his revenge. The monster insisted that Frankenstein, as his creator, was bound to him. He added that his existence did not begin with hatred and demanded that Frankenstein listen to his story before deciding to kill him. The monster felt that Frankenstein’s next actions would determine whether he continued to act with violence against humanity or isolated himself from the world forever.
