You know me as Dr. Samedi, or the Shadow Man, but once upon a time, I was just Byron— a man with a heart, someone the people actually liked. In the eyes of my grandmother, Mama Ava, I was more than a trickster. But life has a way of twisting paths, and when her shop was losing business and we were being pushed out of our community, I made a desperate decision. A deal with some "friends" from the other side changed everything.Now, I stand before you, not as the man I once was, but as something else entirely. What led me down this dark road? What did I lose along the way? Get ready to journey into the bayou and uncover the twisted backstory of Dr. Samedi. Are you brave enough to follow me into the shadows and learn how I became the man you fear? The ride is about to get real, and you won't want to miss it.
