I DIDN’T GO HOME THE next day, or even the day after that. The storm which had blown in had done so with a vengeance, and Liddie informed me that the water levels were too high to risk trying to get into the city. I didn’t really mind. I was feeling better hour on hour and could do important things like getting to the toilet all on my own. Stairs were still a difficulty, but as long as I only took them a few at a time they were manageable.

I saw Stefan at meals, but since our cookies and coffee discussion he had returned to being distant and focused on everything but me. I wanted to talk with him more about what he would do to stop the rougarou, and if there was something I could do to help. I didn’t like the word ‘bait’ and the danger it implied, but I also didn’t like knowing there was a rougarou out here that thought I’d make good eating. I wasn’t leaving New Orleans, and I didn’t want to have to watch over my shoulder all the time. But I was just some woman who worked at a bakery, and I had no idea how I would begin to do anything about a swamp monster.

The storm wasn’t consistent, but it didn’t give up either. I wondered if a hurricane had wandered in while I was recovering, even though I didn’t remember one being in the forecast. My phone was lost to the swamp and in all my wanderings I hadn’t found so much as a radio in the big plantation house. I didn’t bother asking what the deal was, since I was sure it was either more esoteric explanations that wouldn’t help me, or it was as simple as not wanting to waste money when you didn’t get any reception in the bayou anyway.
