I knew I would surpass my creator. I think-,” he pauses, then says, “Well, he would be proud of my determination, if nothing else.” “Where is your creator? Who is he?” “He died fifty years ago,” Adam says matter–of-factly, though his eyes darken. “I hunted him to the ends of the earth. He treated me terribly. He despised me, was disgusted by me. I will never show you such cruelty, Elisabeta. Such a long name. I will call you Elisa, for short.” He runs his long, spidery fingers through your curls. You shudder. He notices this, but doesn’t comment on it. “Did you… kill him?” you whisper. “No,” he says. “But many times, I came close to it. No. And I forgave him in the end. I did. I forgave the man, you see, for he was weak and human and he did what he thought was best. He had no idea how to father his creation. But I have learned from his mistakes. And while I forgave him, I cannot forgive him for denying me a companion. That is why I made you.”
