The Creature
The Creature
Usually, one would begin with their name in an autobiography. I, however have no name. I am the one who all fear because of my appearance. I am the one who no one takes the time to get to know. I am “the creature.” I was not born, but brought to earth by a man by the name of Victor Frankenstein. From what I can tell he made me from different parts of the dead.

I first introduced myself to the blind man knowing that looks seem to be my biggest turn-off for people. It was when this man’s children came home that everything came crumbling down. The boy, Felix, is what they called him, screamed at me and ordered me to leave. I wasn’t even given a chance. I was automatically assumed to be a beast once again. This is when it clicked. My creator became my enemy. I wanted to ruin his life just as he had ruined mine. I gave only one more chance to a human and he turned out to be Victor, my creator’s, brother. The anger inside of me built up to the point that I strangled this little child. When I found Victor I gave him one chance to make things up to me. I asked for one thing and one thing only. After telling him my story I asked for a female companion to be made for me. It only made sense that since no other of his
