The new modern "lite" age: an early experiment with it, but I think it's funny and it fits with the plot, so it stays.

This is the culmination of maybe a year and a half of trying to start up the Elvira-teaches-school plot. To see yet another secret early attempt at starting this story, check this out from April, 2008. I don't think this is canonical anymore but it's a weird window into what the MWHF could have looked like had I started it up again at that point in time, rather than continuing to slack on it until the tail end of 2008.

The Story So Far

Elvira Ellison is a young teacher working in New York City. Her old friend and one-time sexual partner, The Man Who Hates Fun, had been working as the janitor at her school, acting as a confidant to young student Milton Frogman. After the MWHF's apparent death due to hunger, Elvira Ellison was named the executor of his will. Upon looking through the MWHF's apartment, she was "zapped" by his manuscript, a book on modern Stoicism, which perfectly embodies his thoughts and ideas to the point that it is able to resurrect his soul from beyond the veil of death. The MWHF, now possessing Elvira's body in a way that is perhaps irreversible, is attempting to publish his haunted book.
