Story 213: "Undying" by Elanor G

This story is told from Tooms's POV and it's just as creepy as that suggests. Elanor G is better known for her well-plotted casefiles, and they are excellent too, but this story is darkly original. The author rates it R but I would give it no more than a PG-13 for violence.

Please send the author some feedback and then let us know what you think.

Read "Undying".

Yes good. I liked that we got a little more about Frank Briggs, who I always thought was an interesting character.

I think that the cross and crucifix were meant to be symbolic? Also given that he mentions the vampire movie. They're symbols that ward or kill vampires. The wooden crucifix was something he took at the beginning of his life, and the gold cross at the end (of course I have to disregard the fact, like [livejournal.com profile] badforthefish said, that he didn't actually take her cross necklace, but another one (I suspect the cross necklace didn't have a long enough chain for him to plot-point it from around her neck without her noticing, or they would have used it)).

Was Scully even wearing that golden cross this early in the season?

Yep, she wore it in the pilot and in Deep Throat.

You give them too much credit. I'll bet it never occurred to them.

So sorry. This is in response to Infinitlight's first comment.

It was in the right place!
