felt awkward, so instead, I resorted to speaking only English. However, in my parent's hometown, no one spoke a word of English. Which meant I had to speak Spanish (a language that I was not fluent in). I knew how to ask simple questions such as "Hola como estas?".

A few seconds later I could feel their eyes staring down at me again, I quickly shot my head around to…

The physical journey of Victor Frankenstein from Geneva to Lake Como in Italy has been very challenging with a lot of obstacles in the way. No matter how fast one runs, his or her demons will always catch him or her. After getting a devastating letter from his father, Victor goes back to Geneva. "Yet, as I drew…
