Dr Frankenstein's 'The Wolfman'

Baron Frankenstein was a busy man. There was no time to waste in his world.
It wasn’t just about creating one creature anymore. It was about giving life to many!
He had been living alone, secluded, up in his castle.
No one ever went to visit the Dr.
Some people even thought he was dead, or he should’ve been anyway.
No one man should have the right to eternal life, alone.
There were rumors that Baron Frankenstein had achieved eternal life.
Others said that the man didn’t even exist, that it was all myth.
None the less, the Dr didn’t care. He knew.
Deep inside the castle of horror, Igor tormented a freshly captured wolf.
“Don’t torment the beast Igor, you fool”!
It’s what he loved to do. It’s what he was born to do. It’s why Baron Frankenstein kept him, to perform horrific acts.
“I’m sorry master; Igor will not torment the beast now.”
Loud screams rose from beneath the floors where the dungeons lay.
Those who went into the dungeons never came out.
It was a dark, cold and damp place.
Igor swore he’d seen ghosts of past victims, images of torture and blood.
He slept up in the tower every night afraid of the ghosts, afraid they would get him.
Baron Frankenstein laughed at Igor. He thought of him as an animal, inferior, only to be treated as such.
“IGOR”!
Igor ran up stairs to the laboratory where the Dr was awaiting him.
“Come. We need a man, a strong man.”
Igor made his way up to the Dr and hugged his leg.
“Be gone man! Wretched animal! Or I’ll whip you a thousand times”!
Baron Frankenstein kicked Igor and threw him back onto the wall.
“Don’t you touch me again I say”!
The Dr was very angry. He didn’t like Igor touching him.
“You’re wasting time Igor! We need a strong man! Get me one tonight”!
Poor Igor set off on the hunt. All he wanted was to be loved by his Master.
He was used to it though. Since he was born, he was punished for his deformities.
Such was a cruel world. That’s why he himself punished anyone, anytime he could.
The Dr needed a man to complete his new experiment, this time alive.
He sent Igor in search for one. There were many hunters in the forest.
One of them surely would fall asleep, rest for a while.
That’s when Igor would strike injecting a serum the Dr gave him.
“Damn fool! Where is the damn fool”!
It was nearly morning again and still no sign of Igor.
Baron Frankenstein was not impressed. To him, timing was everything.
When everything seemed to be lost, Igor arrived on horseback carrying a man.
“I have the man Master! I have him! A strong man Master”!
They took the man into the castle and down into the dungeons.
Meanwhile the Dr began his preparations.
“Igor, you have done well. Now you can torment the wolf. Now is when I need you to torment the wolf.”
Igor took his tool of preference, the whip, and made his way to meet the wolf.
“Now you will feel Igor’s pain”!
He lashed the wolf once. The wolf howled in pain.
“Now you will feel Igor’s pain”!
Again Igor lashed the wolf. Again the wolf howled in pain.
If it wasn’t for the chains that kept him back, the wolf would’ve torn Igor to pieces.
It was the only thing the wolf wished for. He was now dripping saliva as well as blood, hungry for revenge. His eyes bore the fire from the pits of hell itself!
He cried and growled, barked and howled.
Igor just kept on tormenting him.
Dr Frankenstein had prepared everything for his next creation.
All was set.
The victim, the man who was kept inside the dungeon, woke up.
At first he thought he was in jail.
Then he started to hear the screams. ‘This is no jail’ he thought to himself.
“Help”! “Get me out of here”!
Suddenly he heard someone whispering behind the wall in the next jail cell.
“Who’s there?” “What is it you’re saying, speak louder?”!
He could not make out the whispers.
The man got up and got nearer to the wall.
“He always whispers, he’s been whispering for far too long now.”
The man jumped and fell back on a bed.
“Who’s there? Who said that?”
“Pssst, I’m here, opposite cell, keep it down we don’t want the Baron to hear us.”
He got up and raced to the bars.
“What’s going on, where the HELL are we?”
The whispers were getting louder.
“You’ve been a bad boy haven’t you now?” asked the mysterious prisoner.
‘What an odd thing to say?’ He thought.
“No”! “I have not been a bad boy. Who are you and why are you here, where are we and who’s keeping us here?” “How did I get here?”
The whispers were now even louder.
“Shut up man”! “We’re trying to talk”!
The man kicked the wall that separated both cells.
Then he realized what the whispers were saying.
The whispers repeated over and over again;
“Come with us; join us, forever and ever.”
“Do you hear that, they sound like many voices all at once, what is this place?”!
The mysterious inmate disappeared, so did the whispers.
What he could hear now was the footsteps of someone approaching, walking down from the second floor.
It was the Dr.
“How do you like the hospitality?” asked the Dr.
The man took a step back as the Frankenstein approached the cell.
“Who are you?”
Baron Frankenstein stood outside puffing away on his pipe.
He spat out some tobacco.
“I am a myth my friend. Soon you will also be a myth.”
‘What does he mean?’ thought the man.
“Explain yourself”! “Who are you, what do you want with me?”!
Igor, also, made his way down to the dungeon.
“Master, the wolf is ready.”
He could not help it.
As soon as Igor saw the man he tried to poke him with a sharp wooden pike.
Baron Frankenstein whacked Igor across the head with his walking stick.
“Next time, Igor, you ask first. Understand?”!
Igor bowed and stepped back.
The man was horrified. He could not believe what was happening to him.
He prayed and prayed in his mind for some miracle to occur.
“Well Igor?” “Aren’t you going to ask me?”
The man looked at Igor terrified.
Igor licked his lips and said;
“Please Master, may I torment the beast?”
The Baron nodded in approval. He then took off to prepare the wolf.
“I AM NOT A BEAST”! Screamed the man as Dr Frankenstein walked away.
Baron Frankenstein was not about to let his experiment fail.
For it to work he needed the wolf to bite the man at exactly midnight on a full moon.
That night a full moon would appear at exactly midnight.
He raced down to the lobby and ran past a large painting of Elizabeth, his “lovely Elizabeth.”
He stopped and dropped to his knees.
“Forgive me my darling, I’m sorry, I am who I am.”
He got up kissed the painting and screamed at the top of his voice;
“I AM DR. BARON FRANKENSTEIN”!
Then he stormed off to inject the wolf with his special serum, a potion. It was a recipe found on a book that belonged to an old witch that lived in the castle before him.
Everything was now ready.
Dr Frankenstein made his way to the dungeon where Igor had been torturing the poor and innocent man with a wooden pike.
The man had wounds all over his body.
Frankenstein opened the cell and Igor took hold of the wounded man.
Once again, thunder roared and tore the night.
What would be the result of such an experiment?
He took the man and threw him under the moonlight up in his laboratory.
The wolf was chained to the wall.
“Now Igor”! “Let go of the wolf, NOW”!
Igor let go of the animal and it went straight for the bloody man.
It bit his neck and wounded him severely.
The wolf then turned and stared Igor straight in the eyes.
He began to growl and then leaped and tried to kill Igor.
Igor managed to duck and kill the wolf, stabbing a long wooden pike right through the animal’s body.
The man, nearly dead, rose to his feet and looked up at the full moon.
“It’s happening Igor, its beginning, no one can stop it now”!
The man started to transform into a wolf. Half man, half wolf.
The transformation was horrific. His bones crunched and sounded like they were breaking. His face expanded breaking his skin and muscles.
Dr Frankenstein had created a new beast, ‘The Wolfman’.
The Wolfman howled and howled and then tore his clothes.
Igor hid underneath a large table.
Hell had been born.
“Let there be life”!
Dr Frankenstein kicked the door open for his creature.
“Let there be life I say”!
He then pointed towards the horizon and screamed;
“Go my son, feed, feed, FEED”!

Hope you enjoyed it.
