CHARLOTTETOWN — Oh, woe and grace upon us! Have pity for the poor citizens of Charlottetown, as the beast known as Charlie Town hath been loose’d from its cage!
Run, pour souls, run! The beast knoweth no pity nor mercy, and once it has caught your scent, will hunt you till the ends of the earth.
Those who survived an encounter say that he was able to take off his dog head to reveal a sodden, sweaty man’s head underneath.
Charlie Town was thought defeated for over 30 years, and was imprisoned in a cage deep below City Hall. A guard had been sent — under sacred oath, on direct orders from the Lord Chancellor Mayor — to keep watch on the accursed beast. But lo, the wily brute Charlie Town hath managed to outsmart the guardsman!
Also known as The Fallen One, The Beast of the East, and He Who Lurks, Charlie Town threatened the Island for generations. Those who survived an encounter say that he was able to take off his dog head to reveal a sodden, sweaty man’s head underneath.
Should you be approached by Charlie Town, remember the following rhyme:
Charlie Charlie Charlie
Beast of Charlottetown
Alive a happy fellow,
Now return ‘neath the ground
Upon hearing this chant, Charlie will convulse in pain, allowing those ensnared to flee. Should you need to travel after dark, carry a small sac of thyme as a charm against the beast.
The Lord Chancellor Mayor has also offered a reward of 15 gold pieces and a handsome horse to any hero who severs the heads of the unholy monster.
