That night when I climbed into bed and was about to doze off I heard familiar small scampering footsteps, I slowly glanced at the edge of my bed in the pitch blackness of the night and saw the haunting glowing eyes once again, peering just over the edge of my bed, studying me as I lay there. I shut my eyes immediately and when I opened them the creature was gone.

Almost in an instant, a silent shadow emerged from seemingly out of thin air, it let out the most terrifying sound that I would not have guessed they were capable of creating, it began laughing like a small girl would, starting out with small giggles then slowly changing to loud shrieks of high pitched laughter while taking slow, long, steps towards me.

    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.

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.…
