Doppelganger



“Now Frank,” said Jennifer, putting on his makeup. “It’s just a stupid country club dinner with my parents. Just go and cover for me. Act natural and no one will be the wiser.” She packed up the lipstick and smiled. “I’ll be at Great Aunt Jane’s coven meeting. I should be home by midnight, and I’ll abate the spell then.”

Frank nodded and rose to go. He’d helped cover for Jane for over a year now. Why her parents gave Jane so much trouble over her desire to be a Witch was beyond him. The spell gave him all the help with her mannerisms that he needed.

After dinner when they went home, Frank went up to Jennifer’s room to wait. Midnight came and went, and Frank not knowing what else to do went to bed. In the morning after getting no luck with her phone, Frank showered and dressed and went over to Great Aunt Jane’s. When he got there, the police were investigating a gaping hole in the ground where the house once stood.

It looks like Frank may be stuck being Jennifer’s doppelganger for a little while longer.
