Beware French Quarter nights, for the dead come back to drink from the living.
And when the hour tolls, never let Midnight find you at the crypt of Marie Laveau.
It is never quiet here. The thud of a blow into flesh. The whimper that follows.
The screech of marble against stone as a heavy lid grudgingly slides open.
What is that? Only a shadow you say, more in hope than in belief. You are not that lucky.
It is Her.
She who hungers for love … and for the flesh of Man.
The black tears streaking down her face. They are mute testimony that there can be no love for the thing she has become.
But there is flesh. Your flesh. See her reach out for you.
The night soon has new sounds.
Your screams.

Awesome picture and thrilling/creepy story. Marie Leveau...it sounds familiar but I don't know who that is.
ReplyDeleteHi Roland .. I can feel the cold, the anxiety, the terror arising .. and the screech of marble on the stone floor .. no thank you .. I'll stay here - wonderful words .. Hilary
ReplyDeleteMichael Ouffet :
ReplyDeleteDon't let the ghost of Marie Laveau catch you saying that! LOL. She is the voodoo queen of New Orleans.
Hilary :
Yes, it is a bit creepy. This is a bit of an intro for tomorrow, Roland. Hint : the ghoul is holding someone's arm in the picture.
Very shiver worthy! Marie is not someone I would want to run into during the dark of night.
ReplyDeleteHeather :
ReplyDeleteNor would I! But the ghoul only haunts Marie's crypt. Her own is beside it. And in the picture she is holding onto someone very tightly. Hint : His initials are V.S. LOL.
CREPPY, I dig it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ajkulig!
