success to fashion a creature from body parts found in morgues and
cemeteries and bring him to life, but it is not a succes to spread
terror with this monster.

experiment. This monster killed my love. I apologize from all the
peoples..
Esra

Frank

monster. I thougt I create a body, which is beautiful and useful for
the world, you know?

has prejudice against you, can understand you, as well. You would
never like to do evil and you lost even your own love for this
