    17 years ago. My teacher gave us a creative writing assignment, that theme was to write ourselves as one of the party goers and write an account of what happened. I took it a little further by making myself not guest, but as a guard who had just changed shifts and had let death in! My teacher loved it.

    “And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” What a chilling quote! Poe was really one of the best authors.

    I must say, I’m a fan of Edgar Allan Poe’s work. I really like the darkness and gothic style of his stories.

    Price Prospero thinks he can cheat and escape death, partying while the Red Death rages outside. His demise shows that death is inevitable and thinking you can escape it is just foolish.

      sorry broski, but that's an unrelatable statement...
      corona is cold compared to this fiendish affliction...given the choice of the two, 100% of people would willingly choose the Kung-flu over Ebola Hæmorrhagic Fever...hands down...
      anyone can try and disprove this with the difficulty breathing, fever, yadda yadda blah blah blah...fact is, corona is survivable, granted you're relatively healthy and don't have an immunity disorder or elderly...
      Ebola, however, don't matter how healthy you are, if its contracted you are in all respects, Fuck'd...the pain is so bad (while you bleed and puss out of all your pores and holes) that your body tries to fall into unconsciousness, however the neurological effects of this causes you to spasm and seize uncontrollably, which in turn causes bruising that prevents the blood from leaking out so it swells untill it "unzips" in clean lacerations as if it were cut with a scapel...after that, your skin and fatty tissues sluff off like wet tissue paper...and this goes on for hours...you finally die from either over heating and being "cooked" from the inside or your seizure causes you to snap your spine...
      so yeah... sweet dreams

But this reading had it all and so I'm subscribed for further Halloween listening. Really great stuff.
