Desired By Night

1960's, Bayou Lousiana. Times are different. We have a lot of trees, that of Cypress, maple and Tupelo. Not to mention a lot of swamps, and alligators in them. I lived in the town and so forth experienced growing up. As I got older, I experienced life for what it was and it wasn't until. That I got into womanhood that I engulfed myself with my friends and we hung out and always had fun. Dressed in our best dress, smoked our cigarettes, and flirted with and met different men. It wasn't, until then that under and forbidden circumstance did I and we meet two men. But, mainly, I met one. We could see, they had money and had come from and must have been to the our side of town. One in particular was very handsome, though they both were. Least, I was not interested. It was law. So, I left. Little did, I know, he had followed me, and brought me to his place. He asked and demanded of me, in which I could not give.

This man was no man at all. He was not mortal. God knows what he was. He called me Human, when to me, he looked like a damn one himself. All I know, was I was his obsession, his desire. He must have been mistaken, I wasn't going to give him nothing.
