You must!
You must behold this!
I hear it, and have heard it.
We have put her
living
in the tomb!
I now tell you
that I heard
in the hollow coffin.
I heard them many,
many days ago.
Yet I dared not,
I dared not speak!
The rending of her coffin,
and the grating of the
iron hinges of her prison,
and her struggles
within the coppered
archway of the vault!
Be calm.
It is the storm
that draws breath,
playing tricks on us both!
Is she not hurrying
to upbraid me for my haste?
Have I not heard
her footsteps on the stairs?
Do I not distinguish that heavy
and horrible
beating
of her heart?
Madman!
MADMAN!
I tell you that she now
stands without the door!
The vision before
me will stay burnt
into my very soul and haunt me
to the end of my days.
Where I gazed,
the House once stood.
I saw the mighty walls rushing
tumultuous shouting sound,
like the voice of
a thousand waters
and the deep and
dank tarn at my feet
closed sullenly and silently
over the fragments
of the House of Usher.
Bravo!
In your own words he became
a victim of the very terrors
he had anticipated.
Much like you.
Don't you wish you were dead?
Why should I? I want to live.
I have more stories to tell.
Your time is up in your world.
You have nothing to lose,
no one to love.
Stop feeling guilty
for other people's death.
Virginia died in spite
of your care or your love.
Your mother succumbed
to my power
leaving you helplessly alone.
I was so young when she died...
I was denied even the
memory of her face.
Guilt never leads to any good.
If anything you are haunted...
Haunted by sorrow,
guilty not of a crime, but of
the inability to stop me...
If anything, I am guilty of
giving my readers
what they want.
A glimpse of redemption,
stories with a moral
where justice always triumphs.
Is this what you mean?
It is impossible to say how
first the idea entered my brain;
but once conceived,
it haunted me day and night.
Object,
there was none,
I loved the old man.
and for his money,
I had no desire.
I think
it was his eye!
Yes, that was it!
One of his eyes resembled
that of a vulture.
I made up my mind
to take the life of the old man,
and thus rid myself
of the eye forever.
You should have seen
how wisely I proceeded,
with what caution and foresight
I went to work.
And every night, about midnight,
his door and opened it.
And then, when my
head was well in the room,
I undid the lantern cautiously,
oh, so cautiously.
I undid it just so much
that a single thin ray
