Elsa had us describe a villain for her demo-I thought of the early Frankenstein movie.

I remember the first day I met him.  I was in a colorful field of wildflowers by the bank of the sleepy river and his shadow loomed up before me like a cloud full of rain.  I was startled, so I dropped the wildflowers I was holding onto the grass.
"Uhhhh," he said.
"Uhhhh," I replied, "hello."
He pointed at me with his long, pale finger and grimaced.  I was only 6 years old so I thought he was smiling.  I held up my last flower to him.  Tentatively, he reached out and with a jerky movement, crushed the flower in his hand.
"No, like this," I said.  I picked a large urple flower and held it to my nose.  he watched me closely and mimicked my movements.
"Uhhhh," he said as he sneezed loudly and his nose fell off.  I laughed.
