Death In New Orleans - A Fictional Account Based on a Southern Myth

The young and humble Adelaide was always flattered by Jacques' charm, despite the fact that she was happily married. But what happens when she allows his charm to get the best of her?

This is a poem I wrote for my creative writing class, but it turned out to be more of a story than a poem. It is based loosely on the legend of Jacques St. Germain, aka The Vampire of New Orleans.
