Creative Writing: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

The red eyed prowler growled out at the wounded creature, snapping it’s injured jaw at it before grabbing the fleeing pigeon, pulling it roughly towards him and snapping his jaw down on it’s neck before anyone could move. Blood splatted against the ground and the creature’s face as he ripped the silenced bird out of his mouth, swallowing the decapitated head and throwing the limp body against the wall. The place where it’s head once was sprayed blood across the white wall paper and carpeted floor. The prowler seemed to grin at them as blood dripped down it’s fangs and off the tip of its chin. The sight was gruesome, turning the stomachs of the small animals as they watched, helplessly, as one of their friends was torn in half.
Reo winced, jumping between one of the prowler’s legs, dragging his claws against the decaying, rotting flesh on the inside of the yellow eyed monster, ignoring the warm, crimson liquid that poured over his back and let out a loud growl.

Blood splattered from his gums as he lunged forward, swinging his metal looking claws at Foxy, who bounced over the arm and onto the prowler’s shoulder, headbutting him in the forehead.
The night-prowler at the window let out an enraged, pained howl as the animals pushed him back, knocking him back. The prowler’s bony, metal knees hit the window sill and he let out a small whimper before falling out the window, his claws ripping into the wood on the sides of the house before he landed on the spiked fence, two of the sharp spikes ripped through his rotten lungs, clotted blood splattered through the open wounds while the prowler tried to pull himself free, hacking harshly before going

    In March and August 1995, more than 150 farm animals were attacked. Some eyewitnesses talked about a reptilian body, oval head, red eyes, fanged teeth, and a pointy tongue. The farm animals in Puerto Rico were found with two puncture wounds on their necks, and they were drained of all of their blood. No meat was taken from the bodies. How can 150 farm animals be drained of all their blood so fast?…

    (A playful writing influenced by A. A. Milne’s ‘Winnie the Pooh and Beatrix Potter’ Stories) I gaze from my window to see a slight rustle in the conifers, picking up my binoculars with curiosity I notice a wood pigeon fluttering about; my imagination gets the better of me, thoughts rolled into a story. I don’t believe in happy endings; but I will try and write something with a good end to it and no better way can a story be brought to life than through the antics of wood pigeons. There was a group of eight pigeons and in that group there were five males and three females; I know the odds are not looking good for all the males and some will miss out and, of course, it is generally the weaker ones. It was spring, that time of year when…

    I enjoyed reading Unbroken, a book that showed preservation, redemption, and admiration all in one character. Throughout the book, Laura Hillenbrand displayed how a human could overcome grueling struggles, but she also conveyed how traumatizing experiences such as a death of a loved friend or receiving beatings from a ruthless prison guard can scar a person’s mind for a long time through the use of symbols. One of the symbols that Unbroken portrayed is alcohol. Many people who have anxiety and stress use drugs as a way to avoid reality. Similarly, Louis drank alcohol which brought him “a pleasant numbness” from his horrible memories from the Japanese prisons (Hillenbrand 347).…

    Treason's lungs burned, as if every breath sucked in fire. It had been a simple task-- a diplomatic mission to Frigid Plague. She had left a week ago, intent on strengthening their ties with the recent uprise of so many new packs in the valley. With the moon full and ripe in the night sky, she had more than enough light to guide her on her trek through the valley, and yet this sense of security had been a lie. It had been six minutes since she first caught the first, overpowering stench of bear.…

    Eric Battleaxe stood on guard like he was always trained to do. He didn’t know which came first, but the one thing he did know how to do was wield the axe and he wielded it well. His small elven body was taut and toned, dressed in the tunic and small battle armor of the elven army of which he was a lowly private. Destined to fall in one of the small and petty wars that were always waged in the underworld, fought since the dawn of the sundering for no other reason than a few acres of land or a better access to the river, his sworn duty was the same as his families for eons and that was to defend the expanse of Lord Corelion unto death.…

    It was a pleasant day in the bucolic. The sun was shining and a cool breeze was coming from across the pond. I was standing in the grass next to it smiling as I watched the ducks play about in the water. Nobody was around except for the ducks or so I thought. I lived in a little bungalow next to the woods where the scenery was always fetching.…

    Marley should have known an animal with that many teeth would have a taste for meat. And that, in most circumstances, proved fine in the wide scheme of things. But the gapping grin that revealing those teeth was anything but friendly and Marley felt quite partial to the meat attached to his old bones. From the creature's back a pair of tattered membranous wings unfurled, and Marley dodged to his left as it feinted forward testing his reflexes. The master runesmith swung his staff with the accuracy of one more use to wielding a hammer than a long stick.…

    He would often yearn to dive into it to cleanse himself of the responsibility of Justine and William’s death. He would wish to become one within nature because it was beautiful and calm, opposite of what Victor thought of himself, a man riddled with guilt and fear. The creature, in a similar state of loneliness and depression, wandered throughout the forest regaining “pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me…forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy” (Shelley 129). Nature affects the creature exceedingly, turning his emotions in a complete 180°, in spite of being lonely. The creature is in comfort of the beauty of nature.…
