Frankenstein: City of Night
“At last he has a home.
Former hospitals converted into laboratories for cloning and biological engineering do not in his experience have coat closets. The very existence of a coat closet says home.
Life on the bayou does not require a collection of overcoats and parkas. Hanging from the rod are only a few light zippered jackets.
Boxed items are stored on the floor of the closet, but he has plenty of room to sit down if he wants. He is too excited to sit, however, and stands in the dark, all but... quivering with expectation.
He is content to remain on his feet in the closet for hours if not days. Even this narrow space is preferable to his billet at Mercy and to the fearsome machines to which his maker has often manacled him in the conduct of painful testing.
What tempts him to ease open the door is, first, the woman’s happy singing and the delightful clink-clatter of kitchen work. He is further enticed by the mouthwatering aroma of onions sautéing in butter.
Having eaten brown food, perhaps he can safely eat virtually anything.MoreLess
