Once upon a time, there was a lonely girl who lived in a small town near the Colorado River. She was always the weird kid. To be honest, she was really weird and she only grow up to be weirder and weirder. (This one time, she started to scream as if someone was trying to kill her when she was in math class. Don't get me wrong, I hate math and most people do, but this girl was not screaming about the subject, believe me.)

Ruby Frank, that was her name. There was also 'freak', 'fugly' and many other names, but her real name, the one everyone in the small town knows, even 15 years after her death, is Ruby Frank also known as the frog kisser.

Her mother was a single mother, working full time in an Hospital, working her ass off to pay for the small apartment in which the two lonely girls lived. Ruby was the result of a bottle of vodka and the backseat of a car on prom night. The father moved 4 states away before he even knew he had a child in the making and he never came back. Ruby's mother told her daughter her father died as a hero, fighting mean little man in Vietnam. (Ruby was born in 1994, do your own research about the Vietnam war and do the math. It's impossible. But Ruby never, not even once, doubted her mother.)

If you would have asked Ruby how she felt about being alone most of the time (to not say all the time) , she would have told you that she was never really alone and then would have turned her attention back to the big books about frogs and plants she always kept with her.

The story teenagers of the age of Ruby kept repeating when she was found dead, was that she was crazy and was convinced she was the princess who would find her prince by kissing a frog, so she did (kiss a frog).

Everything is false except for the part where she kissed a frog, that is true.

Here is the actual death story of the legendary Frog kisser, Ruby Frank.

Ruby have always been in love (not literally) with frogs. How they lived and survived, it was almost like art to her. And she kissed one. A very rare one. A Colorado River toad to be exact. It was found in her blood, there was a high level of many chemical, and all put together, they formed 5-MeO-DMT. Wich is the toxin the colorado river toad produces when it feels threatened. She kissed a threatened frog and got high by this same kiss. She was stone because of a kiss. In other circumstances, with a human being and not a frog, it would be pretty poetic to say that a young women was high because of a kiss. But, kissing a frog is not poetic.

Until you know why she did it.

The only sound she heard was silence and that was not because she had no friends, no one to talk to. It was because she was deaf. She had been deaf for the past 6 years of her life. She could talk (almost as if she was normal) and read lips to understand people. But she missed the sound of her mother drinking her coffe too loudly in the morning, the music her Neighbour blasted on friday night or even the sound of people screaming in the hallway of her school.

The only way she heard things, were when she used hallucinogenic drugs, a lot of them, such as LSD, PCP and, take a wild guess? Yes, 5-MeO-DMT is in fact a part of this list of things that made her feel normal.

She was not convinced that she was the princess who would find her prince by kissing a frog.

She was actually a very intelligent person who knew the frog she would kiss would not turn into a prince, she knew exactly what it would do to her.

It was just a bit too much for her body, she had already took too many different drugs.

So that little kiss killed her.

She did not kiss the frog to find her prince charming.

She kissed the frog to be relived.
