“SKELATON TENAMENTS”

please! Cover me for I am frigid as the souls 

inside of purgatory  living in suspended animation

where any manner of damnation could fall upon sir…………….

rattle like the serpent ready to strike then steal 

              what confused the family because “Stephen was the messiah”
