Frankenstein Lincoln was very tall and he looked like a cross between Frankenstein and Abraham Lincoln. He was also partial, for some odd reason, to the name Abraham. Well, anyway, his job was to keep a groove. Not everyone knew how in those days. I think so many people were running around trying to fill their lives up with noise that they didn't quite get it. Actually, Frankenstein Lincoln didn't always 'get it' either, since his life was often filled with noise too, but he could sometimes, in certain moments, lose the noise, get some kind of focus. He often walked in front of the group or lagged behind so he could try to hear the stars singing. One day, he looked up and he saw the North Star and his heart broke and later he laid out over some stringed instrument of one kind and made love to everyone. It was nice. Because it was more than Frankenstein Lincoln. It was him not even really needing to be there. But it was him with no stringed instrument in his mind, just losing himself and hearing the stars singing louder. No one knew that Frankenstein Lincoln also knew Clueless Boy who was his friend. It was neat too since Clueless Boy often was assailed by uninvited vampires. He was always plagued by them and Frankenstein Lincoln knew something about this. It was amazing one day when the vampire darkness was darkest and Clueless Boy's whole world coult have taken a real bad nosedive, that Frankenstein Lincoln was gifted w some special insight, which communicated strength into the being of Clueless Boy, and I think that this was the North Star. Some say that Frankenstein Lincoln was big enough to have taken a star off of Orion's belt. Who knows? Then there were some years where noise engulfed Frankenstein Lincoln, and a few years where it didn't, but all in all, the stars never stopped singing, and thanks to Frankenstein Lincoln, Clueless Boy is full of life and energy and could sometimes swear that the whole universe could explode out of him at any time. The neat thing about all this is that now, by some freak set of circumstances, Clueless Boy has been able to see Frankenstein Lincoln and he is always really happy when he does, since the starfields inside him can resonate with the starfields inside of Frankenstein Lincoln. When this happens it helps Clueless Boy see that this universe is living and active and pulsating like it does when all stringed instruments disappear and everyone gets starstruck and lost and empty and full and found and all the stringed instruments play one single note. And for a minute the noisy people heard it and for a second they 'got' the groove.
