The 19th is a special number for me. Important things happen on that day. One August (1991) it was when I was hired at a company that I worked at for 25 years. In May it was both a day that I quit smoking (2002) and got married (2011.) In January it was the birth of my son (1987) and the birth of Edgar Allan Poe (1809.) Which leads to today’s creativity prompt. “I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him,” is the first sentence to The Tell-Tale Heart. But I’d like to know the story that you will tell with this sentence.
,,, but how did I know he was allergic to the shellfish I cooked for him that evening?
Lol! I love it.
Love Poe. I need to go back and re-read some of his stuff, it’s been forever
I know. In finding the quote I got mesmerized by his stories.
Love Tell-Tale Heart! I remember having a PC game in junior high where I was able to explore all the major Poe short stories and TTH was definitely the most thrilling adventure of all of them in the game itself! I wish that was still around, Dark Eye was what it was called, I wish there was more interactive games like that for kids where they could explore classic bits of literature. <3
I love the old computer teaching games they had. Back in the day when the Commodore 128 D was still a valid computer to have! LOL
