Humpty Dumpty Reanimated

Humpty Dumpty Rean­i­mated

We all know how the first half of this story goes: H D was sit­ting on a wall / had a
great fall / and no one could put him back together again.
Well not until 1801, when a Ger­man stone mason named Wil­helm Trow­els Point,
came across these strange look­ing white shell like pieces in the soil at the base
of a wall he was repair­ing on the grounds of the young Vic­tor Franken­stein.
Vic­tor rec­og­nized the pieces imme­di­ately as being from the leg­endary egg like
crea­ture and thus began his first and far less well known foray into rean­i­ma­tion
many years before the Doc­tors infa­mous sec­ond attempt. In many ways this was
the more suc­cess­ful of his exper­i­ments and HD-2 became a most capa­ble lab
assis­tant to the good Doc­tor until his death some 52 years later.
HD-2 ran out of power a few weeks later and was sold with con­tents of the
cas­tle that fol­low­ing spring. Noth­ing is known of his where­abouts until May of
2005 when I pur­chased him from an old curio shop in Lon­don.
HD-2 has been a val­ued assis­tant in the Plaseebo shop these past seven years.
