The secret of life and the workshop of filthy creation

1 Walled Ingolstadt sleeps under fading stars while one laboratory window still burns

2 Victor stops at the electrical machine in the pale dawn light and turns his face toward the window.

3 Victor stands alone in a low stone charnel vault under an Ingolstadt churchyard.

4 Deep in the charnel vault, Victor stops in the middle of examining a body.

5 In the lamplit cabin, the wasted Victor Frankenstein refuses to share his secret.

6 In his attic cell, Victor lays a measuring rod along bones far taller than any man

7 In his moonlit garret, a wasted Victor works a blade into the giant body's wrist

8 Worn by secret work, Victor jerks his eyes to the shutter at a withered leaf's rustle

9 Worn out by fever, Victor stands at the long table, hand pressed on his sheeted creation
