to his tent. He gathered a few small bottles of liquids and powders; poison extracted from a puffer fish, datura, human ash, and other ingredients better left unnamed. Lazarus chanted and prayed as he smeared the mixture into the cracks and crevices of the stone.
Satisfied with the pwen ––his object of power for the ritual––Lazarus set about fashioning an ouanga bag. The bag would hold the pwen and serve as a talisman that he hoped would house the spirits Plato captured.
The misguided man, driven by fear and anger, sought to bring Plato the Gorilla back to life as a sort of avenging spirit. He asked Bondye to give the gorilla the wisdom and strength necessary to kill and capture the souls of any man or woman who felt superior to another race, color or creed. But Lazarus was indeed dancing with the devil, as he had asserted to Simmons earlier.
By the time Lazarus stood in front of the hundreds of people who had gathered to watch him bring the dead primate back to life, it was too late to turn back. Chanting a hybrid of dark spells, he made an incision in the gorilla’s chest, close to the heart. Then Lazarus took the ouanga bag with the pwen inside and shoved it deep into Plato’s chest cavity.
The result was instantaneous.
Plato the Gorilla, infused with a power from beyond, leapt to his feet and pounded his chest with both of his massive fists. He tipped his dome-shaped head to the heavens and emitted a roar that deafened the stunned crowd.
Plato wasted no time in carrying out the undertaking he had been assigned. He examined the souls of the men and women around him and found only hatred, fear, and intolerance. The gorilla grabbed the closest offender’s arm and yanked him forward. Then he crushed the man’s skull to jelly between his hands.
Lazarus Houngan’s lifeless body slumped to the ground, but his soul howled in surprise and rage, and it was absorbed into the ouanga buried near Plato’s heart. Plato grew in size and power.
He lunged into the crowd, judging hearts, crushing skulls and collecting souls.
Simmons somehow lasted for two entire minutes before his time for judgment came. His eardrums were shattered by the roaring of the beast and blood spattered into his eyes, lending a reddish hue to the unfolding atrocities. To Simmons, everything looked sepia-tone. His final thoughts were of a silent, grainy horror film he’d seen as a child.

CARNIVAL GORILLA ATTACKS CROWD
Nonesuch, La. -Affiliated News Agency
Sources in the town of Nonesuch, Louisiana say that a gorilla believed to be a featured act in a traveling carnival has broken free of its keepers and attacked a crowd of carnival patrons. Authorities are unable to give the Affiliated News Agency a definite number of casualties. Various sources have reported between 3 and 35 deaths attributed to the rogue gorilla’s violent spree.
Dr. Abraham Munn, an expert on primate behavior from Miskatonic Community College, explains that an angry gorilla can tear a man’s arm from his body without even trying, but goes on to say that a traumatic incident would be required in order to push the animal to rampage in such a primal manner.
Reports of the gorilla causing havoc on the highway north of Nonesuch are so far unconfirmed.

I hated carnivals as a kid. Clowns are creepy and the games are rigged. Go gorilla!

Animal control will catch that monkey and spank it for being naughty.
