Beautiful Gothic Short Story

As an avid fan of Penny Dreadful, I imagined the doctor much like Victor Frankenstein exploring the idea of his unexpected shrimshaw corpse. Would love to see the concept fleshed out into a broader novel.

Confusing

The storyline was very confusing to me-? It was hard to understand what was happening because the POV would change too and yo-yo wouldn’t know until they said ‘he’ or ‘she’. I do not recommend listening to this.
