Victor is not who I thought he was

~Chapter 13-18~
I was walking toward the glaciers thinking about the long journey ahead of me when I saw smoke coming out of a cave. This was peculiar, I thought , unless I had stumbled upon the hermit's living quarters. Curiosity got a hold of me and I crept toward the opening of the cave. To my surprise, I saw Victor sitting on the floor looking uncomfortable. I was about to rush towards him when I saw who he was sitting in front of. An immense, grotesque creature sat on the dirt floor in front of Victor. At first, I thought the creature was keeping him captive until I heard the creatures story. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the creature call my Victor, his creator. At first i was repulsed at this creature. But as I heard his life's story, I grew sympathetic. He went through so much. I can only imagine all the feelings of abandonment and rejection he felt when people tried to kill him just because he was ugly. I think he is a human. Pieced together or not, he is his own person and should be treated like one. I can't believe he had to figure out how to survive on his own. Most people have the advantage of a parent or parental figure that help them and teach them at the beginning of their lives. He didn't even have one! This must have been what Victor has been obsessing over and why he hasn't come home until now. I feel so bad for him. I wanted to go out of my hiding place but....somthing came up, I gotta go.

I love that although you aren't there, you make your story appear as if you are. I also like how you have enough freedom to give Alphonse your own type of character. Just be a bit more specific with your chapters. Other than that, it's perfect.
