Black cat mystery
Shocking horror radiates from… White heat!
Terror and shock mourn, for…
The king is dead
Amos banteen saw this on that rainy night…
Lord…
Terror gripped banteen's heart. He bolted from the dilapidated porch…
The rain beat down hard as he squitted through the muddy road bordered on both sides by weeping willows…
Banteen didn't stop until he reached jedediah lash's small wooden shack. Breathlessly, he banged on the door, hardly hearing the voice coming through…
Jed! Jed… Ya snake! Jed… Lemme in!
Come in…
I see'd him, jed… See'd him with all those daid people aroun'!
I told ya, amos! Jes' like ah suspected…
Jedediah lash laid aside his knife and wood, snuggled in his chair, and brought back black, ugly memories…
Hmme! Kind of funny, thet wilkie watts! A right lonely creature… Always thinkin' himself high and mighty! We got him, amos… Got him good! Eternity was on our side when i saw wilkie thet night…
"thet night by the cemetery! Rainin' just like it is now! I was comin' home from jesse walker's house… Goin' past… When i caught ole wilkie enterin' the cemetery… Very suspect-like… "
"i followed him, amos. I waited, watching him, then… Mah heart froze clear to ice! Wilkie was draggin' a body, gnawed ta filth by time… Draggin' thet body through the mud and muck… "
