Retribution of the Forsaken

In the eerie shadows of the Swiss Alps, a gruesome silhouette lurked alone. This abhorrent figure, scarred by the trials of his tortured existence, was Frankenstein's creation, the forsaken Creature. Since his terrifying inception by the hands of Victor Frankenstein, he was doomed to a life of solitude and scorn.

One day, a radiant light in the form of a young woman named Maria stumbled upon the Creature's path. Seeing past his repulsive exterior, Maria showed him kindness, a sentiment the Creature had never experienced. She could empathize with him, as she herself was an outcast, banished from society for her unruly red hair, believed to bring ill fortune.

Over time, a profound bond formed between the two lost souls. However, this tranquil interlude was interrupted by a group of villagers who stumbled upon them. Their wrath was fierce, targeting not only the Creature but Maria as well, for fraternizing with an abomination. Despite the Creature's efforts to shield Maria, a misaimed stone struck her, ending her life. The villagers recoiled in horror and fled, leaving the Creature alone with Maria's lifeless body.

The Creature's grief quickly turned into a fiery rage. This world, which had only shown him hatred and cruelty, had taken away the one being who had shown him compassion. True to his Promethean essence, the Creature vowed to bring about retribution.

One by one, he visited the inhabitants of the Swiss village, those who had executed Maria, those who had made his existence a living nightmare. He did not harm them physically, for he knew that pain was transient. Instead, he revealed his intelligence, his capacity for speech, his profound understanding of human nature. He slowly stripped the villagers of their ignorance, leaving them to grapple with their guilt and fear.

The Creature’s vengeance was not the chaos that ravaged the physical but the horror that shook the soul. Like Prometheus, he brought fire, not in its literal form but as a spark of knowledge that shattered the peaceful ignorance the villagers had lived in, forcing them to question and confront their fears and prejudices. And as retribution echoed through the Swiss Alps, the Creature, equal parts a symbol of horror and enlightenment, vanished into the night.

The tale of Frankenstein, the Modern Prometheus, was thus further embellished by the retribution of the forsaken Creature, adding another dimension of human fallibility and the cost of ignorance to an already harrowing story.
