   Summary

   The priest watched him in silence. How long had this man been hiding here, by himself? To what extent was he a human, or whatever Frankenstein turned him into? It made him sick. The stitches and implants dug into his discolored flesh, cut and bruised and marked, each limb a different size. He had long, dark hair that was tangled and filled with grime, his body barely covered by some dirty rags. Not even a name was he granted, much less the privilege of language. He couldn't decide if being abandoned by his creator was a blessing or plain cruelty.
