    Dope! I love the reversal, with how you kept the villain generally non-descript (from our POV) and surrounded them with props and details that force us to infer and glean information about them instead! :)

      Thank you! I really enjoyed this prompt. I personally found the one with the alligator more difficult. Actually, I recently saw the new film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Of course, everyone knows Frankenstein, but I hadn’t really delved into it before. And wow, what a profound story full of tragedy.

      spoiler

      A creature, unable to find the death it desires, desperately asks its creator for a companion so it won’t be alone forever. When the creator denies this wish out of horror and disgust at his own creation, the creature is consumed by a furious rage and rebels against its maker. The story is strangely relevant, more so than ever.
