It was one evening of which I would never forget..... The sun has set and the moon was still rising from the dimly lit horizon and I was taking a break to ease my restless mind and body. I was practically shaking by the time I could even put my tools down. Suddenly it happened, I heard the loud and horrid footsteps of nothing but the sheer fear of what I have created and put upon myself. The handle turned slowly as if time had slowed itself just to torture me and then the door opened slowly. There he was, the nightmare of my life, the anguish of my being, and the remorse of playing with something I shouldn't have. We talked for what seemed like forever and then I was filled with anger. I could not take this torture anymore, so I slandered my work and screamed at his horrid face.... "Begone! I do break my promise; never will I create another like yourself, equal in deformity and wickedness." At that instant the beast grew angry and vowed to do what he promised to do at our first agonizing talk. He told me just before he left the words I will never forget... "I shall be with you on your wedding night." With that he was gone and I will always know that he is following me, until the day I die.
As of when he left I jumped into a boat to get away from the island of which I have destroyed my second, unfinished creation. Also I went to Perth to meet with Clerval, which was my main reason for leaving. So I set out on a voyage to Perth to find Henry so we may meet up finally and have the time of our lives. I seemed to have dosed off into the bottom of my boat and woke up well past noon. I sat there with a worn out expression on my face just watching the weather just change around me. Wondering and fearing the treachery that might await me at every waking moment. Then finally I arrived at Perth where I was greeted by some very rude people. Eventually they told me to meet with a man who's name was Mr. Kirwin and they said that I was responsible for a murder. OMG!!! How did this happen and how will I get out of it?!?

Michael: You did a very good job retelling the story, lots of discriptions and stuff that weren't particularly included in the book. However, I think that you should focus more on the emotions Victor might have felt at the time. But you are doing a great job. :)
