Frankenkitty
Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors. This is a sample from my work in progress, “Frankenkitty”, and I hope you enjoy it. It started out as a young-adult superhero book, and well, you’ll see. Last week they decided to give Dr. Frankenstein’s ideas a try. Both Mary and Jenny are on their way to visit Amber’s “lab” after school. The bus has just dropped them off, and they meet someone important on the way.
The big yellow school bus squeaked to a stop just off the main road, near the old folk’s home known as the towers.
“My official stop is closer on the street,” she said, “but it’s faster to walk from here; we’ll cut through the garden and down Elm Street; be home in no time.”
Several elderly inmates of the Towers were sitting in the garden as the girls walked through it. Jennifer suddenly stopped and stared at one of them.
Mary asked, “What is it, Jenny?”
Jenny slowly approached an ancient woman, a woman with a fierce looking face that belied her friendliness.
“Mrs. Jones?”
“Jennifer, what a surprise; I thought you were going to visit me sooner.”
“I thought you were dead.”
“Oh, that explains it; there vas another Mrs. Jones; they mixed up the names.”
This is a work in progress. In other news, I’ve become a booktrope author, but more on that latter. It has meant a change in pen-name. Last Weeks is here and you can read the whole last chapter if you’d rather.
I’m also looking for reviewers for my nearly ready book “The Curious Profession of Dr. Craven”
I thought hard about giving this week’s entry a miss. In the end, if we quit even in little trivial things like this, then they win.

Very unsettling! A strange mistake, in the light of the story line. I can’t wait to find out what is going on.

Thank you for commenting. You’ll find out, but you’re right Mrs. Jones nee von Volkstein has an important role to play.
