No, hang on… you know, reading it back, pretending I hadn’t seen the image… this could easily be about a dragon. Zack is kinda right…

Lovely tone to it, all the same, be it about a dragon, a golem, or blue-eyed Ben Grimm…

Yeah, I felt that way too, where he’s talking about being younger, and it feels like maybe now he’s in his late teens, until the last bit. I mean, in my head, the whole time, he’s this middle-aged man, late 50s or so, but since not much has happened in his life, his memories of times past don’t seem that far removed. He fills most of his time farming, and the rest thinking about the Golem.

I’m glad you liked it :)

Thank’s, I think you’re supposed to feel bad for Frankenstein’s creature too. Until he goes on a murderous rampage, I mean. Even then, he’s only as big a dick as Victor.

I love this so, so much – although the time jump at the end feels too abrupt and raises questions about your narrator. Still – much love!

I like this interpretation, very melancholic.
