?No one else would hear or see the ghost that haunted the mind of Victor, but they would notice that the master of the house clearly looked¡, As if he had seen a ghost. ? ? He glanced behind Elizabeth, his eyes seemed to be riveted there for an eternity, but all seemed to be normal in the room; the servants had finished ?cleaning up the broken vase, and we¡¯re now going about serving the meal, and doing their best to attend to their new mistress. ? He studied Elizabeth¡¯s expression, not wanting to alarm her, but watching to see if she had observed anything out of the ordinary. ? ?He could not help wondering, had he himself¡, Conjured?this vision by thinking about his creation? There¡¯s nothing there, nothing is there, he told himself, as he glanced around the room, pretending to survey and make sure that all was well, and that the servants were going about their work. ?He? ?wondered how he was supposed to help her, when he was fighting monsters within his own mind. Maybe it is, he¡, After all, he thought to himself. He would have been even more distressed, had there been a mirror nearby, where he could see the ghostly paleNess of his countenance, for he himself now looked as if he had been dead a long time. ? Perhaps the only thing that did not feel dead about him at that moment, was his heart, which felt as though it would burst through his chest at any moment. ? ?She will likely think that I am frightened of her now, and it is all his¡, Fault, the scientist thought to himself, wishing that the ghost he saw in his own mind were?actually flesh and blood, so that he might at least attempt to choke the life out of it. ?He realized, with dismay, that it probably wouldn¡¯t work, since he had built that creation to live forever. ????He blinked, lowered his head and closed his eyes for a few seconds, then raised his head again, hoping, praying to whatever power there was, be it?science, or something else, that he would not see the ghost anymore. as he looked at Elizabeth in an endeavor to remain calm, to sound calm¡, He cleared his throat and stated, I think we should, I think we should go to the lab, ? Or, perhaps, take a walk outside, whatever you think will help you, of course. He could not help feeling that in spite of his most valiant effort, a noticeable tremulousness was evident in his voice.??????
God loves you.
