The Two Faces Of Francine

The Two Faces Of Francine

By Paul McCann

From an early age Francine seen and heard people that no one else could see but her . Some floated through the air and others walked on the ground . She told no one about the gift she had . The people she saw gave her information about certain people in her life and with that information she could either harm or help them. 

In her teens she looked like a porcelain doll . Perfectly white and smooth all over .

By the time she started college she had developed a split personality and lived with conflict that turned her life into chaos every day . Suddenly her perfectly fair completion began to change .

Half of her face was dark and the other half white . Her personality was also changing as well . Her friends noticed a big difference in her looks and attitude .

Francine was able to not only see and hear people that no one else could see but now she had the ability to ask for information about people in her life , for only one purpose , which was to cause them grief and manipulate her gift for the wrong reasons . With all the information she had received there was a part of Francine that wanted to help them but now more than ever, she wanted to hurt and harm others . Francine had developed a grandeur about herself and walked over people in a pompous way with no consideration for their feelings .

In all the places she went, she had a notion that she owned everything and now she went too far when she started to blackmail people . She knew things that were kept in secret and nobody knew and with that information Francine started to acquire wealth .

Many regarded her as a genius and was gaining interest from some benefactors wanting her knowledge and, in the process, they were discovering more about who she was and some of the skills she possessed .

At the age of seventeen Francine was encouraged to study Medicine and become a leader and an important figure in public life . Suddenly long before her time Francine started to show signs of aging , which worried her a lot . Her ability to speak on television had finished due to her escalating process of her old age . Francine had lost dignity and didn’t care . She had turned into a bad person .

With her high IQ she was able to answer difficult questions people asked her but had no answer for her own problems . The thing was she helped only herself , greed had taken over and one rainy Saturday afternoon she had a visit from someone from the other side who warned her about the danger she was in .

Unless she stopped doing harm on others Francine would be taken from this world .

This information rattled her and she knew something had to change . She sat looking out the windows of her big home and life outside seemed to be changing right before her eyes .

The lines of evergreens around her home were turning brown and all the flowers were dying in the garden . Around the perimeters of her home weeds, we’re growing fast and all. the grass on the lawn had died leaving brown dirt that was arid and hard . Her public appearances had come to an end and she was starting to feel. very tired and weary .

A knock came to her door one morning and Francine opened the door find a tall, bearded man who spoke to her frankly telling her that his next visit would be there to escort her to a dark place from which she would  never return unless she made changes in her life to repay the debt she had accrued . 

Francine was shaken by what the visitor had told her and ran up the stairs to the bedroom.and hid herself under the blankets of the bed . When she eventually got up from the bed there were people all around the room . She couldn’t move or speak and sat motionless as they spoke to her .

The time passed slowly and Francine watched the furniture gather dust and the house aging before her eyes . She stared to remember all the terrible things she had been doing to people and felt ashamed of herself . There she lay on the bed alone and helpless surrounded in the squalor of a decaying home . Then she remembered the room where she had grown up .

Suddenly she heard her laughter and was confronted by the vision of her as an innocent child . Then at that moment she felt a hand touch her and a voice spoke , 

“ You were given a gift but you made the choice to abuse that for your own means . Now you can begin again . He who gives also takes away .“ 

From that day Francine lost her ability to see and hear people who weren’t there and at 34 years of age she lost her sight completely . Now she was totally blind and required help to do everything .

Helpless and alone she was given assistance by volunteers who had been sent in by the local community health team. Francine was unable to see her face now which was all dark and wrinkled . She quickly learnt a hard lesson about abusing the gift she had been given , in harming others she could have helped . Then she realized that in helping others we help ourselves and in harming others we also bring harm to ourselves . Francine spent many days thinking about the wrongs she had done and one day she cried out aloud for forgiveness .

In that cry she felt an explosion happen within as if a powerful energy had moved through her . Two weeks later Francine regained her sight . The specialists at the medical centre had no answer to why this had happened . 

Then came a knock to her door and standing there was the tall, bearded man who spoke to her again .

“Francine I’m pleased to tell you that you have been given a second chance . Your gift will be restored again but if you choose to misuse that then I’ll return to bring you to dark place where there will be only sorrow that will never leave ‘

Francine replied ,

“I promise I’ll never harm anyone ever again “

“Forgiveness came to you because you asked for it and because the goodness in you was able to speak out and overcome the darkness “

After that day Francine changed for the better and she began to tell people about the mysterious illness she had and now that she was cured, she wanted to assist others in any way she could .

She soon was given opportunities to meet and greet powerful people who she gained information about and then was able to use that to persuade them to make changes for a better world and soon more good things were happening around the world .

Cures for terminal illness were found; new medications were discovered to put an end to serious health conditions . Dementia was a thing of the past and new concepts into restricting sight for the blind had begun , all due to Francine and her gift that she used to help others and not herself .

Francine was given awards for her good works in humanitarian achievements . People often made comments on how young she looked and what her secret was in looking so good and she would say 

“ Surround yourself with good people who are there to help others and be true to yourself .”

Francine began to speak to audiences and gatherings where she encouraged people to be forgiving and generous with their time in assisting others .

Francine lived a long life and helped as many people as she could .

The End
