Plot Blurb:  Read the story

Splash Page:  I was eaten alive by guilt and by worry for Joe. How was he? Was he still alive? Was he in pain? Was he being tortured on a daily basis? Who had him and why? Would I ever see him again? Would I ever have the chance to tell him that I still cared for him and would always be there for him? Or would he die, forever thinking that I no longer cared for him? That last thought was unbearable.

And weeks turned into months.

Two months, one week, and four days to be exact. That was when THEY came for me. And what happened next threw my entire world upside down.

Special Notes:  First and foremost, this is intended to be a FRANK-ETTE story. I got enough of my coin giving me JOE-ETTES every time I flip the coin for a decision before I write.

And this story is for Medieval Liz, the only avowed Frank-ette I know. I doubt if anyone will appreciate this more than she, even if badly written. And Liz, please do forgive me if it really is badly written.

This will be about TRAGEDY. And ANGST. Yes, I am going to try ANGST good and proper this time. Even though I am certified PATHETIC at angst.

But I already got my requisite one story per genre…except hardcore angst. Well, for a first attempt, I shall be happy with just simply angst. Maybe even ‘tragic’ will do….

This story will be written in first person, even though I am not very good at being Frank. But I will try. This is going to be a double whammy, since I am also not a guy. This will also be written in present tense…so it is current. All the more personal, I hope.

This story is PARANORMAL. It deals with the supernatural, and readers will just have to suspend their standard beliefs in the real world of the Hardy Boys for a short while.

Glares at pen and keyboard…

Now my stubborn pen and grouchy keyboard, be nice. DO NOT turn the story into a ‘Joe’ story again. Don’t say I never warned you, another stupid attempt at switching and I’ll mete out to you two a fate worse than death, and may the Guardian in the Dark have mercy on your soulless bodies!

I defy you, my thoughts, to sneak in a switch on me this time…but if you do succeed, then I’m sticking to being a Joe-ette, and let there forever be peace.
