Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at the docks, they say the man with the pale, sweat-slicked face was dragging his leg like it was aflame, voice thick with nausea he couldn’t shake—muttering about a bullet, eyes glassy and heavy as swamp fog. The woman watching from the balcony just stared, lips tight, like she knew the end was near but wouldn’t say a word. ░▒
▒░ And that wasn’t the only chill creeping through Port Laveau—the fog’s been swallowing whole nights, thick with whispers of strange marks turning up on bodies, signs no one dares name. The Silent Serpent’s grip tightens, their shadows bleeding deeper into the bayou’s rotten heart. ░▒
░▒░ Deputy Broussard caught the look; something flickered behind his calm—an edge of knowing or dread—as he glanced toward the darkened streets. But what’s really coming? The Ledger’s waiting, and so is the night. ░▒
