Fact and Fantasy教案

  when i found this amazing power placed within my hands, i hesitated a long time how i should use it. although i knew how to create life, how to prepare a body for it with all its muscles and organs still remained a difficult job. i doubted at first whether i should try to create a being like myself, or one of simpler organization. but soon i dreamt of nothing else but the creation of a creature as complete and wonderful as man.
  it was with these feelings that i began the creation of a human being. as the small size of the parts slowed down my speed, i decided to make the being much larger than man; about eight feet in height. with these ideas, spending some months collecting and arranging materials, i began.
  who can imagine the horror of my secret work? i collected bones from graves and cut up dead bodies. many of my materials came from butcher shops and hospitals. it was on a night in november that i looked at the result of my work. i collected my instruments around me, with which i would light the flame of life into the dead thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open.
  i looked at the terrible monster that i had created. he opened the curtain of the bed; and his eyes, if eyes they may be called, looked at me. his hair was black and his teeth as white as snow, but his skin was yellow. when his thin black lips opened, nothing came out some strange sounds. while unfinished, he was ugly, but now he was a living horror.
