Victor's Nightmare

Victor falls into a troubled sleep and has a nightmare. He dreams of Elizabeth, who turns into the corpse of his dead mother. He wakes to find the monster standing over him, grinning and muttering. Terrified, Victor flees from his apartment and spends the night walking in the courtyard, consumed by horror and regret.
