by Jet556

AU set in 1972. A year after the death of the tyrannical Francois Duvalier, Tina Kwee is sent to Haiti to write a story about the country now under the rule of Francois' even more tyrannical son Jean-Claude. What she finds there is a story stranger than the tales William Seabrook told of and the tales of the tyrannical Francois Duvalier.

What to Write

Back at Basil's Haitian estate, which as luck would have it would be sold as soon as Tina and Lee returned to Canada, Tina sat at a writing desk. What was she to write about? That while a dictator worse than his evil father ruled the cities, his religion was the one that truly ruled the nation?

"Stumped?" asked Lee as he walked in.

"Very." Replied Tina. "What do I write? Unless people have seen such things will they believe them?"

"You have idiots believing the Illuminati still exist never mind they disbanded in 1785." Stated Lee. "Who says what people do and do not believe?"

"They are eccentrics." Commented Tina. "Not everyone is an eccentric. If we all were the whole world would have thought the 1938 War of the Worlds radio drama had been an actual broadcast."

"Hmm, eccentrics… Makes me think of Chaz." Lee wasn't too far off. Chaz was half way eccentric and half narcissist. He would die in poverty, alone without ever changing his ways. He would die as he lived: an eccentric narcissist. No one would mourn Chaz. Only an idiot, a maniac or a barbarian would do such a thing. Chaz was a human being in appearance alone. In spirit he was more of rabid rat, being as mad as one.

"Well, I can't write about him." Said Tina. "Or eccentrics in general. What am I to write about?"

"What people want to hear." Said Lee. "Jean-Claude is of the Voodoo religion, what you saw was a voodoo ceremony. Merely write about the tyrant and his religion."
