Hi there! This story is The Lady in Red, and it tells a story about how "The Lady in Red" came to be. It also goes over a couple of theories of how "Mary" and "The Hanged Man" came to be.
This message is right before the actual story for one real reason.
The story gets rather complicated, having multiple point of views. The small description wasn't enough to explain this to its entirety, but now that all four of th planned narration styles have been created, I feel that this would be a good time to tell you about this.
I will admit, I gotten way too far with the story to fix it to reduce confusion. Just the first five chapters contained approximately six thousand words. So, instead, here's what I propose you do.
Look at the chapter title, and look at the letter within the parenthesis. That is one singular style of narration. It would be much less confusing to follow one letter, or one point of view all the way through, opposed to following all of them at once.
Each different style of narration has their flaws, both in my actual writing and the actual narrator. The former... that can't be helped, except with writing more and more. The latter was just something I wanted to try this. It's similar to Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, where the point of view switches between the two main characters, but I took it one step further.
Also, I'll say that following any given letter, aside from (L), will yield the entire story. You'll know more or less what important thing would happen to each important character. There won't ever be a point where something big goes unsaid in one story, unless the character involved has no way of knowing what that "big something" is.
Finally, these are the narration styles for each letter.
(B): This is in the perspective of Bunny. The way the story is told is in poetry.
(C): This is in the perspective of Clair. The way the story is told is in third-person, semi-restricted.
(D): This is in the perspective of Danny. The way the story is told is in retrospective first-person.
(M): This is in the perspective of Mary. The way the story is told is in first-person, actions and thoughts only.
(L): This is in the perspective of Limerantic, or me. I do not have anything to do with the story.
Thank you for understanding, and enjoy the story, though I feel like I should say stories... enjoy!
