Cyril:One night, toward the end of Jan 2002, I received a message in a bottle. I opened the bottle and out pops a genie; a very strange and otherly genie. This Gothic genie speaks of a place, a very strange place called Spider Gates. I travel to this place and I am taken by the aura of this location and the genie. Strange tales of werewolves, death and hell are relayed to me. Its gates are composed of spiders, a foreshadowing of the venomous attack soon to be administered to me in the tomb of America's most notorious vampress, Mercy Brown. The genie comforts me though my hallucinatory and feverous thoughts. The genie predicts immortality, riches and intergalactic notoriety. I name my genie Paralayla! As I stare at the bite I just received from a black cat with green eyes, I can't help but wonder what's next? I'll uncork the bottle and ask the genie..

Here she is...
