This is a continuation of Margaret Jeanette's Doomed story with an alternative - and I believe more realistic - ending.Edna and Jerry run their own real estate business, with Jerry as President and Edna as Vice President.

This is what I think would really have happened in the end. Margaret wrote a happier ending!

Here is one such metamorphosis not mentioned in the original story.[Author's Note: this 'Fan Fiction' (with 17 original AI images) is intended as homage to an excellent writer and a great tale. For the full background and lots of other fun transformations, please see Tim's original story. You won't regret it.]

A wealthy man decides to trade places with his maid, but what happens next? [This is fan fiction; an homage to my all-time Fictionmania author, the great Belladonna. "Life Swap - Prestige and Service" is probably my all-time favourite Belladonna story. One of the things I love most about her work is how she often leaves the ending dangling, so we can all enjoy imagining what would happen next. Will the continuation be happy or sad; comedy or tragedy? Well this is what I think might happen after Frank Fearnley decides to swap lives with his central American maid, Isabella. I strongly advise you to read the original first, but then who needs to be encouraged to read anything by Belladonna?]
