I arrived in Strasburgh today, two days after Victor. I didn't mean to keep him waiting, the delay was unexpected, and it saddened me even more to see the state Victor was in. He was dark, dreary, and completely unlike himself. I don't see how he could be that way, life is so beautiful! Why, I find happiness just in watching the sun set. Even more excitment can be found in the sun rise! Just knowing a new day, a new opportunity is dawning should be enough to make anyone joyful!
I shared that experience with my dear friend, and as the blue and violet hues gave way to orange and pink streaks, I turned to Victor and cried, "This is what it is to live. Now I enjoy existence! But you, my dear Frankenstein, wherefore are you desponding and sorrowful!" I hoped I could convince him out of his darkness, but the night of his emotions persisted. Well, we have many amazing new sights to look forward to and I can still hope that something along the way of our journey will coax him out of his saddness. Until then, I can only pray that God will heal his sorrows.
-Henry C.
