From the southern branch of the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library here in Sultry, Savannah,

this is obscure season 2, Frankenstein, I am your host, your friend, your earlover, your

literary mansplainer in chief, and Georgianologist Michael E. and Black, we have done it, we have

reached the final episode of the telling of the story of Big Buddy and Victor Frankenstein,

his creator, his tormentor, they torment each other, there we are, there they are, I guess,

circling each other in a vortex of doom and one of them has now finally expired Victor Frankenstein,

has met his maker, the irradiation of a gentle smile passing away from his lips in his final

moments, they're on Walton's ship, well this ship is about to dock, folks, we're about to cast

anchor here because this is the final episode and what a journey it's been, you know, we started

off there with Walton talking to Mrs. Savile, gone from England to Switzerland to Russia to,

I don't know, France and Italy and Arctic, I mean we really covered some miles, folks,

geographically, physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, like we've just been

run through the ringer, run through the ringer, that's not an expression, is it? Run through the

ringer, I don't know, I mean what else do you do with the ringer except ring things out with it?

As for me, you know, I've covered some miles too, I've gone from Connecticut down to Savannah,

Georgia, I was just back in Connecticut, now I'm back in Georgia, by way of Richmond, Virginia,

I'm going to Canada next week, all kinds of stuff happening, but first we have to finish

the story, I mean we've got mere pages left, scraps of paper between my fingers, just the tiniest

amount left, and why not, Frankenstein is dead, Walton is concluding his tale as I said the

irradiation of a gentle smile passed away from his lips, and last episode I complained that

that gentle smile I feel has been unearned, he didn't earn that gentle smile or it's a radiated

nature, his life was too tormented for that, and I don't really feel like he learned his lesson,
