Frankenstein 4

CHAPTER 4
In the laboratory he made an artifical body. He bought or stole some pieces of human body human body parts which he needed (by the time) and he put them together. He let nobody enter his laboratory while he was doing this awful work because he was afraid to tell anybody this terrible secret.

He wanted to make a beautiful man, but the face of the creature was horrible. Its skin was thin and yellow, and its eyes as yellow as its skin. Its long black hair and white teeth were almost beautiful, but the rest of the face was very ugly. He used big pieces because it was easier to work with them.

He joined the body to the wires in the machine. He was sure that his machine could use electricity of from lightning to give life to the body. He watched and waited. Two days later he saw dark clouds in the sky, and he understood that a storm was coming. At about one o’clock in the morning the lightning came. His machine began to work and the electricity from the lightning travelled down the machine.

At first nothing happened. But then, he saw that the creature’s body began was starting to move. Slowly, terribly, the body became alive. Its arms and legs began to move slowly.

The dead body was an ugly thing, but alive and looked more horrible. Suddenly he want to escape from it. He ran out of the laboratory, and locked the door.

After a while he was asleep but woke up suddenly. The horrible thing that he had created was standing hill at the foot of his bed. Before it touched him, he jumped out the bed and ran downstairs to the garden. He was afraid.He didn’t notice where he was walking, but soon he came to the station. A train from Geneva had just arrived, and the passengers were leaving the station. One of them ran towards him - his dear friend Henry Clerval.

“My dear Victor!” Henry said. “What a lucky chance that you are here at the station. I have very good news. My father has agreed to let me study at the university, so we shall be able to spend a lot of time together.”

He was very so happy to hear this news, the that he (I) forgot his fear. He took Henry back to his flat. He was afraid that the creature was would still be there. But it had disappeared.

Poor Henry hadn't know had no idea of what had happened.
