Week- 15 Reawakened Part 6

*The following is a story series not a real-life story* 
Layla-
Shawn is our new recruit. Jay, Shawn, and I were close friends before our initiation. At his first training, he was shocked like he saw a ghost. Shaken up but a settled relief that I was still alive. The loss of Jay during a mission was still devastating news to him, even though he we were already supposedly dead to the real world.
Shawn is a skilled partner but he is not Jay. Jay created his own combat skills, which he would teach me; Shawn had to imitate skills to prepare for his first mission. Words of advice to Shawn- an order's, and order don't try to be a hero.
I remember the day before Jay's last mission he told me- you don't have to worry about my safety on our missions. Sometimes I wonder why he told me that before that mission? Why did he jinxed his demise? But why I still feel like he is around still looking out for me when I couldn't look out for him. Why?
****
Shawn trained well enough to prove he's ready for the field. Everything was a smooth mission, except for a potential threat. But this threat didn't fight back but fought other threats as we hid and watched. Was he part of the agency? This "threat's" face was covered, but his combat was familiar. Recognizable. Each move, every skill familiar. Was there hope? Was he still alive? I ran to help this "threat". The way we both fought was recognizable and in sync. The threats were easily taken down but that one "threat" disappeared.

Week 15- Torn Alikeness

The Creature wanted a companion. Someone to accept him, to share emotions with. Frankenstein. The Creature self- taught himself to become a self- educated being through eavesdropping. He wanted to be able to feel what his "neighbors" felt. He begged Frankenstein for a companion.
Frankenstein as his creator agreed to a promise. A "pick your poison" promise which brought havoc in either choice made. Create a new series of species that bring harm or compromise the safety of Frankenstein and his loved ones.
Frankenstein pondered at the idea if a monster can love another monster or would they reject each other as well as the rest of society? Frankenstein was put into a situation where he was torn between the choices that each resulted in misery. No one could possibly win even if the creature promised safety for payment of a companion that potentially can be dangerous. Frankenstein found himself in a catch 22.
The Creature and the Creator Frankenstein become alike in their misery as each of their despair flows within them and hatred and vengeance pours from their pores. They become similar in their emotion and their motive. The Creature has no one, no one to rely on or depend on. Frankenstein loses people that are dear to him and loses everything. Both the Creature and Frankenstein are the cause of each other's misery and conflicted with the need or loss of personal connections. In the end the Creator becomes as miserable and despaired as the Creature. They are one and the same.

Week 14- Creature

Frankenstein was the cause of the creation of the mutant creature. An obsessive addiction of new science gone wrong, turning into a devastating rejection and loss of dear lives. The creature acting out in anger and rage. Because of this thing, the result of  two people are tragically gone- Frankenstein's little brother murdered and his dear family servant who was accused and blamed into a death sentence. How can someone take the blame of someone else' s wrong doing without a fight? But rather than to lose their fight and take the blame for something. A lot of people do this even myself once, but never again. Maybe because it was easier than fighting when all odds are against she took the blame than a court fight. Frankenstein created his own tragedies with an obsession of a fantasy which later turned to a dark reality. Frankenstein created his own enemies. His own demon. His own problem. Humanity often creates their own problems. It is self-evident in everyday life. Maybe the saying is true "Only you are your own worst enemy." “How dangerous is the acquirement of knowledge and how much happier that man is who believes his native town to be the world, than he who aspires to be greater than his nature will allow.” ― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein. To Frankenstein knowledge was power, but his power resulted in abused mayhem. “All knowledge hurts.” ― Cassandra Clare, City of Bones. Though I do not know what further happens yet, I look forward to read this supposedly horrifying adventure.
To go way off subject this blogging thing is my creature- a problem.


Week 14- A Place

I know if I ever find my place in this world, then I did something wrong. I am fine with not belonging, not blending in and not conforming, and have no issue with being out of place. This place always felt temporary for me and still does no matter what. Just passing through. But that place is where I can be more open. No walls, no guards just freedom. I know it is just a place, but why it can open me up to reveal that I live differently here than I do there is inconceivable to the point where I cannot find the cause of it. I could say the atmosphere of the place or the people that I trust, but there is something so much more there that I do not know why it draws me out the way it does. There it feels like living, here it feels like surviving routine. Even when I was there, the routine there was not the routine here. There is not Here. Though being here became a building block of my character and values, I still want to be there. I know if I did not live here I would be a very different person, but sometimes I wonder if how I would be if I stayed there. Sometimes the reality seems better there than here. Now don't get me wrong, I am thankful for everything here and blessed for the lessons that were taught here, but I can't help but wonder. Would I be as strong as I am today here if I was there? Or would I been better off over there? But then character is often tested.
