CHAPTER 1 - The Frankenstein Place
The Frankenstein Place. That was how the residents of Denton called the strange, dark and mysterious building which appeared suddenly in a not very often traveled deviation of the main road. At least that was how they called it in their thoughts, because the Castle was rarely mentioned in conversation circles, at family gatherings, in student meetings or Sunday Mass. It was as if the whole town knew of its existence but pretended they didn't, and, perhaps because of it, no one ever questioned about how and when the Castle appeared there, who lived there, where that name came from and what was going on in the depths of that land. It felt like the inhabitants of Denton were subjected to some kind of hypnosis, which alienated their minds and protected the secrets of the castle.
No one knew, then, that the Frankenstein Place existed for much longer than they could ever imagine. The building occupied the land long before the emergence of Denton, and it was inhabited by strange creatures, beings from another planet who settled up there in order to study the human species through research; the study consisted of observing the human sexual behavior and how sexuality had influence on their lives and communities. This interest had arisen by the fact that the inhabitants of the planet Transexual, located at the Transylvania galaxy, could not understand the shame and the sexual limitations that struck the homo sapiens, since the species homo transpiens had overcame such issues millions of years ago. So, for years, Transylvanians settled in different countries of the Earth planet to carry out this research and gathered annually for a convention on the house of the scientist who had the most distinguished himself in the researches produced during that year.
Dr. Frank N. Furter was one of those Transylvanian scientists and the responsible for inhabiting the Frankenstein Place with his faithful servants, the siblings Riff Raff and Magenta, since the Castle appearance, when it descended from the sky on a very cold night of 1688. Frank, considered a renowned scientist at the place where he had come from, studied hard the human behavior during these almost three centuries on Earth, noticing a serie of blockades imposed by society that prevented the mankind to enjoy their lives in fullness. He saw people of the same gender denying their desires and sticking themselves in heterosexual relationships that didn't satisfied them completely; he saw relatives who loved each other being unable to feel attracted to each other due to social taboos; he saw monogamous marriages that fell into boredom and destroyed the love of the couple; he saw the hypocrisy of sexism, which allowed males to discover their sexuality long before the females; he saw women who spent their whole lives without knowing what was real pleasure, although they laid down with their husbands every night; he saw, moreover, people trapped in a limited gender concept, which required them to define themselves in a binary way between being male or female, taking into account only their genitalia, and excluding the possibility of gender fluidity or the simple absence of it. Although the scientist could see occasional improvements in sexual matter according to the time, it was a fact that this subject was still a major social taboo and that the human being was far from reaching the evolutionary stage of the Transylvanians.
Frank studied all this time such behaviors discreetly, increasingly saddening himself with all that lack of freedom, of happiness, and, over the years, in his mind the seed of an idea started to emerge, sprouting fast and uninterrupted. Like this, on a beautiful day, when getting up from his bed in the morning, the Doctor figured out that studying at distance no longer satisfied him, both personally and professionally, and decided he would go to the city of Denton to seek interaction with humans. Frank believed he could contribute positively to improvement of the mankind`s quality of life since recording data without having the power to interfere in the behavior of his study objects could not bring anything good to humanity.
Riff Raff and Magenta used to leave the Castle at certain intervals in order to buy supplies at the city. Due to their appearance, jarring the appearance of most human, they wore disguises that drew little attention, and they used to go to the market with a pick-up truck large enough to put almost anything that may be needed. On the day that Frank decided to go out on his adventure, therefore, he took the pick-up truck and put on one of the modest clothing he could find: a white shirt and black pants along with a pair of brown shoes. Before starting the vehicle, the Doctor observed himself for a few seconds in the car mirror and sighed sadly: his hair combed back and tamed by the gel, the clear face without the glamor of his makeup, his neck without accessories, the serious and lifeless clothing; none of these represented him. All of these represented the grey that was the life of the human being, with no color, no grace, nothing. Although he had already dressed himself like this in occasional situations when he was executing his study on the field, it seemed that this was the first time he felt inside the depressing and limited skin of a human, perhaps because, this time, he wouldn't have to just physically resemble one, but also act like one. Nevertheless, Frank shook his face and looked away from the mirror, thinking with dedication to his cause. The feeling impelled him further to put the idea into practice, so Frank started the huge car engine and left the Frankenstein Place to go in search of a bait.
