Saint Franken
by
Cecily Asplund
Saint franken paced around his room wondering the same thing over and over again: ”What am I gonna’ be for Halloween!?”
You’re probably thinking it would be easy to think of a Halloween costume, but Franken was a Stein and you know, Steins live forever. So Franken was stuck in this dilemma every year on the day before Halloween.
His sister Emma walked in carrying her costume-a red cape and basket full of goodies--you can tell who she was being. “You could be yourself. I’m sure you’d scare all the kids away!” she squeaked.
“Why you little--” Frank was interrupted by the sudden thought--What am I gonna’ be??
He sat down on his swivel chair and thought some more. Would I really scare the kids? he wondered.
He picked up the piece of broken glass he used for a mirror. He saw that same scar across his forehead, and an almost green undertone to his skin. It seemed like his green undertone only grew greener and greener every month.
“Time for dinner!” his mother called out from the kitchen. He climbed down the stairs and sat down to the table.
“What is this?” he questioned.
“Umm, turkey roast, why?” his mom asked.
“It doesn’t look like turkey roast, ” Frank replied.
“Hmm.” his mom said. They blessed the food and started digging in.
“Wait, what did you say?” Frank asked in disgust.
“I said, please bless the oozing crushed souls and eyeball salad,” his mom said, dishing herself up a big helping.
“Wha??” Frank murmured.
“I said, please bless the nutritious turkey roast and veggie salad.”
That made much more sense to Frank. He poked his fork into the-crushed souls? Eyeball salad? No. This couldn’t be true! Frank blinked and he saw his turkey roast. He blinked again and saw the souls and eyeballs, but well...they looked sort of appealing. Actually really appealing--especially the souls. So, he stuck his fork in and took a bite.
“First time i’ve ever seen you eat my crushed souls.” His mom said in a surprised tone.
“Hmm?” Frank mumbled looking up at his mom.
“I said, ‘First time i’ve ever seen you eat my turkey roast,’” she repeated.
“Ohh.” Frank replied.
That night, Frank forgot about his Halloween costume and thought about the incident at dinnertime. He fell sound asleep and woke up at midnight-his face looking as if he had spray painted it green, and his scar even broader than before.
“WHERE ARE MY SOULS!?!?” he found himself yelling.
He crashed out of the window, into the shed and took out his father’s biggest axe. His mouth watered at the the thought of dead souls. He made hungry growls and stomped over to the neighbor’s house. He pounded their door open with his axe and stormed into the little boy’s room. He roared in the boy’s face and the boy’s pale screaming soul came floating into Frankenstein’s hands.
He chomped up the soul and repeated the same steps throughout the neighborhood. Soon he was found stomping around eating everyone’s souls throughout the town.
You can still find him stomping through the forest with the rusty axe in his hand and his mouth wide open.
