and mischief in my soul
- - Everyone knows not to follow the lights out in the bayou. The lanterns they could be aren't always the hope you're searching for.
- Best not to look too close to what your neighbors are up to. The humid marsh air makes everyone a little strange; some stranger than others.
- The frogs cry at midnight; the frogs cry at 11 pm; the frogs cry at 10 pm. Soon they will be calling before it's dark. You aren't sure if it's a warning.
- The land here was built on the backs of the unwilling, you best remember that; it will claim its dues if this spilled blood is forgotten, it always does
- Everyone knows about the decrepit church deep in the marsh outside of town; you all try to forget it, best not to remember what happens in its crumbling walls
