Alternate Ending To Frankenstein
As I sat in the my prison-chamber, tears were running down my face. Feeling the insistent pounding in my skull , I rested my head on my knees to take away the pain.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching the cell. I quickly jumped up expecting the fearful guards to approach the thick bars again. Instead only one man came holding the Holy Bible in his hands. His suit was well pressed and his scarce hair perfectly combed. Recognition flashed in my mind once I saw his face in the dim light of the dungeon. It was Pastor Taylor from the Protestant Church.
“Hello, my dear. I've seen you have gotten yourself in quite a mess.” His smooth voice frightened me to no end. I had always been afraid of him even as a child. When my mother and I used

My mother having been a very religious person before her death, I wanted to follow in her huge footsteps. As a servant in the Frankenstein household, I was permitted time off my duties. Sometimes instead of leaving altogether, I took the youngest member of the family with me.
Oh William! My poor William! I miss him so much. Just thinking about the child I took care of and loved like my own son after Miss.Caroline died still leaves me in denial. It leaves me not only in grief for the boy but a feeling of absolute failure that I wasn’t with

I need a blessing to get me out of this situation.” After I spoke these words his blank face turned into shock and then rage.
“ Yes I will pray for you. But why would I ever pray for a child murderer to escape their fate instead of paying for their sins? I will pray that whatever your fate maybe it will not be drawn out but quick.”
I could not believe the words he was saying. He believed me to be a murderer. I surely was not. I never would harm anyone especially a child.
“I am not a murderer, Pastor. I am a woman of God. I would never hurt anyone let alone William, the boy I thought of as my son.” I told him.
“ I am afraid I don’t believe you, my dear. It would be wise for you to confess your sins to me instead of holding them inside any longer. If you do not, I cannot allow you to be a member of the church. I would hate for you to be denied your entry into heaven and sent into the depths of hell.” He retorted.
I shook my head in denial while his intense stare become even more brutal. He was threatening to not allow me to be a member of the church, but also to not be able to go to heaven if I do not confess for a crime I did not commit. If I confess, I’m sure it will be better than going to

    I desire to be humbled before God for that sad and humbling providence that befell my father's family in the year about ninety-two; that I, then being in my childhood, should, by such a providence of God, be made an instrument for the accusing of several people for grievous crimes, whereby their lives was taken away from them, whom, now I have just grounds and good reason to believe they were innocent persons; and that it was a great delusion of Satan that deceived me in that sad time, whereby I justly fear I have been instrumental, with others, though ignorantly and unwittingly, to bring upon myself and this land the guilt of innocent blood; though, what was said or done by me against any person, I can truly and uprightly say, before God and man, I did it not out of any anger, malice, or ill will to any person, for I had no such thing against one of them; but what I did was ignorantly, being deluded by Satan.…

    I awoke in the early hours of the morning as usual. The air was thick and wet, but the day’s hunt wouldn’t wait. I got up and stretched my legs before checking the traps I set the evening before. The forest seemed unsettlingly too quiet. Did I wake up earlier than I usually would have? I walked down to the waterhole, to see if any of my nets were filled. There was a soft mist over the shallows, creating an ominous feel. I checked up and down the banks, but my nets had all vanished. With the sounding of the raven’s caw, I decided to head back up to camp. I heard a quick rattle in the leaves due east of my position, so I made haste to draw my bow and hold her steady in firing position. My breath was heavy as the musk in the air poured into my lungs.…

    CHAPTER NINE Troll Snatching I opened my eyes and two giant wart covered trolls who bore an eerie similarity to the creature that had haunted me in my nightmare were standing over me glaring down. Their red beady eyes were filled with detest and I screeched loud enough to wake the dead. One of the monsters stuck his hairy hideous hand over my mouth and the other sprinkled around some kind of teal colored magical dust. I breathed it in and I was under their spell. "Get up and get dressed boy!"…

    The prison cell walls are cold hard concrete walls, they are rough too the touch, the smell of concrete dust from the carving of the previous cellie fills the air. The three concrete walls and the metal barred door are more intimidating that a hungry grizzly bear finding his first meal in months. You never get used to the metal barred door slamming behind you, it just sends a chill down your spin like you're in the middle of a frozen lake and the thin ice is slowly cracking beneath you. The wall to your left as you walk into the cell is a not so plain concrete wall because it is covered with the carvings from myself and other prisoners. The far wall has two small slits over seeing the prison courtyard. I often wonder if I would be able to squeeze through the slit but hold off in fear of having my sentience extended.…

    “Let you not mistake your duty as I mistook my own. I came into this village like a bridegroom to his beloved, bearing gifts of high religion; the very crowns of holy law I brought, and what I touched with my bright confidence, it died; and where I turned the eye of my great faith, blood flowed up. Beware, Goody Proctor - cleave to no faith when faith brings blood. It is mistaken law that leads you to sacrifice. Life, woman, life is God's most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it. I beg you, woman, prevail upon your husband to confess. Let him give his lie. Quail not before God's judgement in this, for it may well be God damns a liar less than he that throws his life away for pride. Will you plead with him? I cannot think he will listen to another.”…

    All things considered, two months later, it’s summer now and i’m living at my dad’s house. My dad’s house was a medium sized, brown and white, oldish-styled town home. I never really had a great relationship with my dad, so it was sort’ve a punishment. I couldn’t be at my mom’s house at the time because i’d get into trouble and wouldn’t obey the rules. Living at my dad’s brought me closer to my grandpa and grandma. They were practically my neighbors at this point, which was a good thing. They’d stop by once in a while and see how im holding up. In a way, they’d keep me on the right path; Gods path. Although, i still wasn’t going to church, still felt the…

    “No!” I tried to scream, but was lost for words. A huge net plunged into our holding cell. Its bright blue appearance made my stomach twist in knots. Frederick screeched as the net dragged his desperate body into the airless wasteland above. The pale creature held his gasping body before my cage, mocking my pain. He was my only friend.

    Nine Lives We were trapped. A large, horrific creature loomed over us in the dark alleyway east of the Market, rain pouring down over our heads. I gritted my teeth in anger. It wasn’t fair. First the monarchy sent creepy creatures (like the one that we were confronting,) waged war on us and slaughtered our parents and millions of others, then they tried to banished us to an unknown, unexplored area where you’ll be devoured by a mutant or a rabid wolf.…

    I was the prodigal daughter. Moreover, He continued to lead me towards Him. It was like I’d flown back into a cage of sin that had once held me with the false presumption that it would keep me safe, and God was leading me back out of the cage and into the freedom of His love. He lead me to drop out of college during my first year, and I did. Then He lead me to start attending another church, and I did - it was probably the most nerve-wracking of my journey, but I did. At this point, I was able to look back at the past He’d saved me from and see the destruction, hurt, and rubble that He’d pulled me out of. I didn’t want to go back, and now I know that I won’t. He has something bigger than planned for…
