The Laboratory

[Doug McIntire]

Blue lightning flashed across the dark, moonless sky, reflecting off of the puddles of muddy water standing in the though fares that served as streets. The ominous clouds picked up the lightning and passed it along, allowing it to travel for miles across the sky in ever-expanding fingerlets of light, illuminating the countryside that surrounded the remote alpine village. The very air echoed the feeling of foreboding that the angry sky heralded. A misshapen figure stepped from a hovel of mud and twigs, more reminiscent of an underground burrow than a home, and looked up. The open-air windows of the castle situated atop the precipice overlooking the village reflected an eerie blue light of their own. Doctor Frankenstein was already working in his laboratory and it was going to be a long night for Igor.
