Chicago (i/ʃᵻˈkɑːɡoʊ/ or /ʃᵻˈkɔːɡoʊ/) is the third most populous city in the United States. With over 2.7 million residents, it is the most populous city in the state of Illinois and the Midwest. The Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland, has nearly 10 million people and is the third-largest in the U.S. Chicago is the seat of Cook County.
Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837, near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed, and grew rapidly in the mid-nineteenth century. The city is an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, technology, telecommunications, and transportation: O'Hare International Airport is the busiest airport in the world when measured by aircraft traffic; it also has the largest number of U.S. highways and rail road freight. In 2012, Chicago was listed as an alpha global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and ranked seventh in the world in the 2014 Global Cities Index.As of 2014, Chicago had the third largest gross metropolitan product in the United States at US$610.5 billion.
Chicago May (1870-1929) was the nickname of Mary Anne Duignan, an Irish-born criminal who became notorious in America, Britain and France. She referred to herself as the "Queen of crooks".
She was born in Edenmore, Ballinamuck, County Longford, Ireland. In 1890, at the age of 19, she stole her parents' life-savings and ran away to Liverpool, where she bought new clothes and booked a ticket to America. Upon arrival in New York she supported herself by prostitution and picking pockets. She moved to Nebraska to stay with her uncle, where she met a criminal, Dal Churchill, whom she married, but the marriage was brought to a sudden end when her husband was lynched after an attempted train robbery. The marriage gave her American citizenship.
She moved to Chicago, to take advantage of the large influx of visitors at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. She teamed up with another prostitute. One would rob customers while the other was having sex with them. She returned to New York, where she worked as a dancer, but was soon arrested for stealing a wallet, earning her first jail sentence. She briefly married a friend, Jim Sharpe, but the couple separated after a short while. After this she called herself May Churchill Sharpe. She soon established herself with the local criminal underworld, becoming involved in various crimes, mostly of a petty nature, including fraud, assault, brawling, drunk and disorderly behavior, beggary and pickpocketing.

I, I curse all who get in my way
I, I'll slay their very souls
I, I command the spirits to obey
I, I will let them die in woe
a parchment scroll or a piece of wood
I pour my life into them and become as one
there is no method of escape for them
spirits called by the dogs' blood spell hunt my enemies
exacting my vengeance on your feeble life
on your life...
shikigami
I, I let people fear my shikigami
I, I am jaki himself
I, I call upon abominable kegare
I, I will be the king
throw a paper bird to the south and it will fly true
for when the paper bird comes, it's the end of you
you will die in agonising pain
vermin will feed on your cold remains
feeling it coming from above, it will take you...
