Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein had been before her time. She could dream it but no one at that time could create it. But now in 2023 an ambitious but reckless young doctor was going to make it happen.

At a young’s age he had received the nickname Frankenstein. This loved the nickname and even more he couldn’t get enough of that original story. He could practically recite Mary Shelley’s book by the time he was In high school. Once in high school he decided he’d become a Doctor. His obsession with this character would fuel his research. Before anyone else could he would make this story a reality.

Excelling in college he was able to convince his teachers and peers to call him Dr. Frank. He did so well that he received funding for a research program that involved reviving limbs and organs that had failed or been severed. This was where his obsessive personality really started to show through. He spent more time in the lab then he did outside of it. While his peers worried for him, his investors encouraged him onward. He was making real discoveries in the field.

He shared his end goal with no one, worried that one of his peers might try to steal his fame. Having graduated from college and moved to to research full time he was beginning to feel close. He successfully reanimated a rat one night and knew it was now or never.

It took a painstakingly long week to gather up the bodies he needed to make it happen. He was able to reanimate a man, not for long but he did accomplish something no one else had ever done. He tried another time with very similar results. Finally with one more tweak he made it happen.

It was a cold rainy night when it happened. He had to conduct his experiments in the middle of the night to maintain his privacy. He shocked the man to life. He wasn’t sure what he was expecting but when the man regained consciousness he immediately spoke. The man grabbed Dr. Franks shoulder and said,“How long have I been asleep? It must be close to a thousand years.”
