The Cajun Raconteur Returns

Prepare yourself for a tale so unspeakable,
Men have gone mute from telling it.
Some have gone crazy from hearing it.
Others have died because of it.
Proceed with caution...

Are you ready?

Protect yourself from the worst summer heat you’ve ever felt.
That shiver tap-dancin’ down your spine is not from the cold.
It’s the sound of death rattling through your body,
Coursing to settle within your soul.

It all happened “Once upon a time…”

Now that I’ve got your heart in a jar,
Sit and listen.
Who knew words could be so deadly?
Poor Sid never had a clue.

He loved to wander…
One night, amidst the long ghostly oaks…
He wandered right into the hands of his murderer.
So vicious and unyielding…
Down in the swamp, it’s hard to hear someone scream.

I’ve never seen a body like that.

The moss matched the pallor of his face.
The night sky mirrored the blue of his veins,
Straining against his skin…
Sorry to shock you baby.

But how do you think I feel when I saw it before it happened?
