There may be none more storied of a tale in The Dark Southern 'verse...than of The Stranger. A dang mystery if there ever was one. A series of mind-bendin' events that took place so long ago that...it's gettin' harder to tell truth from the fiction. But...I s'pose the *meanin'*...is in the tellin'. It tends to elicit all manner of reaction, dependin' on who be absorbin' the story. Some feel for the man, sufferin' betrayals that broke him so deep that...there ain't no mendin' em. Others...see a weak, ideal fool. A sap, oozin' from a crack in The Cunt Tree. His pain, insignificant.
In either case, his actions were the kind that...you could not rewind.
Some folk say...The Stranger still exists. Inside all o' us. Each and every soul...with the potential... ...to access the worst parts of ourselves. To dole out misery, and pain, where love used to lay. Only to, eventually, start the agonisin' process...of redemption.
This is The Stranger's tale. This is OUR tale. Say hello to yourselves.
