Elva Zona's Last Act!

Im Jahr 1897 wurde der Tod von Elva Zona Heaster als Unfall betrachtet, doch der Kummer ihrer Mutter ließ nicht nach. Als Zonas Geist erschien, offenbarte er eine erschütternde Wahrheit, die niemand ignorieren konnte. Basierend auf einem erschreckend wahren Ereignis, erzählt Elva Zonas letzter Akt eine gespenstische Geschichte von Liebe, Verrat und Gerechtigkeit jenseits des Grabes.

 

Born in 1876, Elva Zona Heaster,
Of her youth, only fragments reside.
In Greenbrier County, where love did deceive her,
She met Edward Shue, and became his bride.

Edward, a drifter with charm in his speaking,
To Zona, he promised a life renewed.
Her mother, Mary Jane, saw danger peaking,
Yet Zona followed him, by love subdued.

January days brought grief unspoken,
A message came, a boy in despair.
He found her still, her neck was broken,
At the stair’s foot, in silence laid there.

Edward, too quick, with trembling devotion,
Prepared her body, with high collar bound.
A fainting spell was the doctor’s notion,
But doubts began to gather around.

Mary Jane prayed with relentless yearning,
Four weeks passed, then Zona returned.
A spirit of anguish, her torment burning,
The truth of her end was harshly learned.

She spoke of cruelty, the truth made clear,
A broken neck, her life cut short.
Edward’s rage, no mercy near,
Revealed her death, his violent report.

The grave unearthed, a truth uncovered,
The autopsy spoke where the spirit tread.
Edward’s lies and cruelty hovered,
The cervical fracture told of the dead.

Prison’s chains held Edward’s ambition,
Seven wives his gruesome desire.
But death in a cell was his life’s fruition,
Zona’s justice brought her mother peace to aspire.

The ghost spoke once; it spoke with meaning,
Its spectral proof of violence and dread.
Elva’s fate, her truth redeeming,
Her voice exposed the crimes he’d fled.
