500 Words - VI: The Sentence

Well, you moaned about last week's sentence and I promised an easier one this week.
I'm such a soft touch (ha).

Here you go then.
500 words please, excluding the title, including and based upon this sentence, taken from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein":

"When I found so astonishing a power placed within my hands, I hesitated a long time concerning the manner in which I should employ it".

That's got to be the simplest one yet.
Grab your pens and enjoy!

I've already got mine sketched out.

It is easy, but a very interesting line! Wish I could join, but I need to finish my assignment first. Or should I say assignments? I enjoy reading everyone else's entry anyway.

Whew!

Katherine said...

YES YES YES! Rocking quote!

I so look forward to these assignments, Dive.

I am SUCH a GEEK!

Vanda said...

I would, but I'm afraid it would turn out to be porn.

Joy: Keep reading. One of these days you might have time to join in. That would be cool!

Prudence: Yup; an easier one after last week's biggie.

Katherine: I can't wait to see what falls out of that fecund mind of yours and on to the page.

Vanda: When men write porn, it's "porn"; when women write porn it is "erotica."
Erotica's fine with me. Go get your pen!

Katherine said...

Well this is hardly as romantic as yours, Dive, but it was what came to my "fecal" mind heh heh.
