Cancer Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just stumbled upon something, and if it wasn't for the fact that nearly everyone else has led with their author pick, I'd be terrified of snipage. As it is, I can relax until I make that pick in half an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 THE "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so callous. Blood was her Avator and carnage her seal -- the redness and the horror of blood spilled to match her hair. There were sharp blows, and sudden breaking of bone, and then profuse bleeding at the brutal wounds, with dismemberment. The scarlet stains upon the girl and especially upon her smiling face came from her victim, who was little more than a pest to to the god child who had long lost any sympathy for her fellow-men. And the wholesale slaughter, the progress of her might and corruption of her soul were the price of her increasing power. But the government was optimistic and dauntless and sagacious. Though Sweden was half depopulated, the officials summoned a thousand hale and well influenced friends with armed escorts of the finest sort, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of the government secure zone. It was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the eccentric and yet august engineers. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates stronger than iron. The officials, having entered, brought supplies aplenty to seal the gate further still. It was resolved to leave neither means of ingress or egress to the sudden impulses of a frenzied ginger cataclysm. The fortress was amply provisioned. With such precautions the officials might bid defiance to the monster. The external world and remaining army could take care of the she-beast. In the mean time it was follly to grieve or think. The government had provided all the appliances of pleasure. There were comedians, there poets, there were dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these, and security within. Without was the "Red Death." A "Red Death" by name of Pippi, and the gates would not hold against this most unwelcome guest. Character: Pippi Longstocking (From the book of the same name) Logan D. Hurricanes and L. Marcus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was, and am, a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe's poetry, though not to the level I could quote it verbatim. All I"m doing is tweaking some of his works which is, I admit, a lot of fun but thank ye for the praise. 15 minutes ago, Logan.1179 said: Wow, Pippi and Draco were both on my shortlist!

Cancer Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Author: Stephen Crane (Red Badge of Courage, and "The Open Boat") EDIT: Was initially thinking of drafting Jacques Futrelle, who wrote "The Thinking Machine" and the other Augustus S F X Van Dusen stories ... and who perished in the wreck of RMS Titanic. But Crane works much better thematically. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
