Description

I lived my whole life in South Central Louisiana. My parents and grandmother told me stories of Loup-Garou's. While many Loup-Garou stories are scary, my family told pleasant ones. The Loup-Garou's was usually half raccoon and half man.. I've never heard of a female Loup-Garou. The Loup-Garous were often lonely. They lived in attics, barns, abandoned houses, and beneath bridges. They loved music and often stayed in the shadows at Fais Do Do dances. They loved beautiful young ladies and did their best to win their love. These Loup-Garous always appear as Loup-Garous.
Some Loup-Garous lived regular lives but at night when the moon was full they appeared as half men, half critters. These type might run stores or other small businesses in town during daylight hours.
Parents didn't like it if daughters fell in love with Loup-Garous because no one wanted mixed grandchildren. While the girls came out ok, should she have a son, even with a fully human man, it could be a Loup-Garou. Perhaps her husband wouldn't want her if he found out her father was a Loup-Garou. Oh how bitter sweet and tragic these relationships often were.
But tonight they waltz... who knows where their hearts will take them.
Could her love for him eliminate the beast which lives inside of him?
