Well,here is the piece! I don't know if it qualifies as a Monster, but it sure scares a lot of people out there...

Hello? Anybody there?

Yes, it has been a little quiet around here lately.

NOTICE:

I've updated the ranks to remove those who never checked in. If they submit a piece by the deadline, we'll add them back in.

Because of the potential for confusion, I'll post all the polls this month.

That’s an amazing piece.

The Monster.

I tried to stay close to Mary Shelly's description. Shelley described Frankenstein's monster as an 8-foot-tall (2.4 m) creature of hideous contrasts:
His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.

I enjoyed the novel. Popular depictions of the monster are usually way off from the novel.
