and the Pendulum?
I could no longer continue my near dead
existencethe rats, the pendulum tinged blood
red, the fear. As rats hung from my torn flesh,
I moved toward the pitone final step.
The long, red hot bars of iron stabbed at me
from all directions... stumbling, my seared,
pierced flesh emanating an unkind
odor, cauterized, burned shut so the blood could
not escape.
From the depths of the chasm a voice lifted,
angelic in quality summoned mecloser and
closer to the pitthe maternal voice called to
me. One step more, one step more.
I shrank backbut the closing walls pressed me
resistlessly onward. At length there was
no longer an inch of foothold on the firm floor
of the prison. I struggled no more.

The outstretched arm of a French soldier grabbed
for the prisoners arm in vain. The narrator
plunged to his death among the rats.
The outstretched arm of General Lasalle caught
the narrators arm as he fell, fainting into the

Falling into the pit proved to be the least of
his problems. The same ravenous rats that freed
him now consumed him slowly in small bites.
Loosing his footing, he plunged into the
abyss, where he joined the rats for an appetizer
and a Sponge Bob marathon.

gave no token, And the only word there spoken was

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a
flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately
Raven of the saintly days of yore.
Eagerly I wished the morrowvainly I had sought
to borrow From my books a surcease of
sorrowsorrow for the lost Lenore.

that is dreaming, And the lamp-light oer him
streaming throws his shadow on the floor.
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie the

unbroken!--quit the bust above my door!
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting,

just above my chamber door.

sitting, still is sitting, Upon the saddened lap
of the love who lost Lenore.
