History

A heroin addict named Gene Griggs startled Donna Garth and stole her handbag. He ran to an abandoned building and was disgruntled to find that Donna only had three dollars in her purse, but he felt he might be able to sell the talisman. He also found a small .38 handgun and shoved it into his pocket.

Later that evening, Griggs stalked the French Quarter of New Orleans and accosted two pedestrians. He shot them both, but one of them, a woman, was still alive. Griggs attempted to steal her necklace, but she scratched at his face. He finished her off by shooting her directly in the face.

As Griggs turned around, he saw the Zombie standing before him. He had no idea that the Zombie was attracted by the presence of the talisman and Griggs tried to stab him to death. When this failed, he tried to shoot him, but the Zombie grabbed Griggs' wrist and turned the gun back on him. A shot went off and Griggs fell over dead. The Zombie shuffled away, leaving the amulet of Damballah lying on the ground next to Griggs' body.[1]
