The Man With Green Skin by Cody Wadsworth

The man with pale green skin and a nail in his head was called Frankenstein by everyone. His real name was Frankie even though it did not completely match his features with his big head and a nail as supersized as a one foot spike that was stuck in his head. Because of his features he was basically left alone most of the time which was o.k. with him. Most people thought his ideas were odd like how he loved to sleep in graves and thinks the town should build a huge air conditioner to keep the city below freezing and should have a huge shading system to keep the sun out. “It's a miserably huge heater,” he would say.

One cool afternoon Frankenstein was jogging to town to buy electricity with $100 when a man in a car stopped beside him and declared,”You can run easier with these new running shoes that just came out.” Frankenstein thought that if he got to town faster he would not have to worry about running out of electricity on the way. The man said,”I will sell them to you for $20.” Frankenstein readily agreed with the man's proposition and so bought the shoes. The man left presently after. Later along the road two women were riding bikes to town and hurriedly yelled back to him to walk instead of wearing himself out by running. Soon afterward a man and women who were selling drinks and ice cream came up the road. Frankenstein decided to buy a minuscule sized drink and because of it bought two sumo jugs of ice water for $60.

As Frankenstein came up the road to town he realized that he only had $20 left to use to buy electricity. Frankenstein went into the electric store and bought twenty dollars worth of electricity hoping he could get home before it ran out. Frankenstein ran like a maniac to get to his home after buying electricity. He even passed the two women who were riding bikes though after some time the ice water caught up with him and he could run no more. Frankenstein hopelessly struggled on. Frankenstein was almost out of electricity and because he knew that was a bad sign he sped up as though his life were on the line. He made it to the edge of his land before he finally sank into despair. He fell into his own filthy water fountain and died to only leave a lifeless body behind. He is now thought of as a monster but really he just was very bad at math.
