“Over rivers and fields, the nights fell ill. The trees did not dare breathe nor waters move. And stars, the only light that one could prove. There was not but what was of winter’s chill. That winter was not so cold, not cold — but still.“
When you believe yourself to be something long enough, you become that thing. A Love Unrequited is the story of the masks we wear, the lies we tell ourselves to hide who we are. A ghost seeks its unrequited soul every year on the Eve of Epiphany, leaving bloodshed through the Mardi Gras season until Ash Wednesday. For forty days and forty nights she wanders, haunting New Orleans until Holy Week, when she vows her return.
The legend began with a woman, a truly independent soul that fell deeply in love. She put her trust in one that betrayed her. Searching so deeply into the soul of another, she had forgotten how to look into her own. Hiding from herself, she went from lover to lover, life to life, masquerading in the guise of others until… she became her mask, and her face — fell into shadow.
