In a certain Louisiana bayou, they say there lives a gigantic thing. They say it's centipede and snake-like, a sickly shade of purple.
They say it can look like anything, camouflaging itself so perfectly it's practically invisible.
They say Do not go into the wilds. Stay near the house. They say this because the thing is hungry. It does not get nearly enough to eat.
They say it once tried to talk, to get help. They say living in the bayous drove it mad.
They say it can enter houses. It might be sitting next to anyone, even you, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
That's just what they say, though. No one believes in that sort of thing nowadays.
Wait. Did you hear that?
