Guardian in the Dark
Author's Note
First and foremost, this is intended to be a FRANKETTE. I got enough of my coin giving me JOETTES. And this story is for MedievalLiz, the only avowed Frankette I know. And Liz - this is also something to tide you over - since I am really having a bad block with that Frankette for your birthday. I really suspect it was the angst that stumped me - so I am trying this first. I doubt if anyone will appreciate this more, even if badly written. And Liz, please do forgive me if it really is badly written. [Grimace.
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 me 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-ette again. Don't say I never warn you, another stupid attempt at switching, 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 your efforts to turn this plot attempt into another Joette. This is written in first person as Frank. I defy you, my thoughts, to sneak in a switch on me this time … but if you do succeed, then I'm stick to being a Joeette, and let there forever be peace…
