Description
They call her Cowbird; the parasite no one wanted.
Frances is big and ugly, bearing no resemblance to a single member of her family; neither her parents nor her siblings have ever shown her even the slightest bit of affection. Growing up in this atmosphere has left her strange and reclusive. She takes refuge in her macabre collection of oddities, in the dark songs she plays on the piano in the annex at midnight, and in her morbid sense of humor.
When she finds the murdered body of her friend, Frances is determined to uncover the killer, even if it means unearthing dark family secrets and facing the terrifying truth of her own identity.
Content warning: This story features homicide, mild gore, and a pill and alcohol addicted character who plays a minor role.

Hi, Friends! I'm a web-novel creator but also an avid consumer. I know what it means to find a quality free story, and so I'd like to keep my short stories free for you, and help bring a little something special into your day. But I still have a family to support, two children and a little black dog who's always hungry. So please consider supporting my work so I can continue to bring you more of the stories you love.
I'll thank you, and Ruffles will too!
You guys smashed the last goal and recording's a lot of work, so I'm really setting the bar high this time! If we reach the current goal of 2m, I will be recording the webnovel of your choice and posting it on my YouTube channel, @JaeEssRealSpecial. Good luck, and happy reading!
