I’ve always been fascinated by karma. Fair - sure, but sometimes creepy and cruel. Dressed with an invisible cap, It lurks in the darkest of the dark nights of forgotten ones, tormenting every single guilty and ignorant soul to death. You may think it’s madness, but I, Santiago, when the blood moon was floating in an ocean of ever seen darkness, implored the hidden forces of the night to help me to build up my revenge, but instead of conveying me supernatural powers I was conjuring, a cold-blooded idea embedded my brain so strong that I could hear my brain worshiping it. Standing in my enormous but hideous mansion - so frightful a raven wouldn’t dare to disclose the death of a relative - I promise that Lucenzo shall never breathe again.

It was the name of Lucenzo’s bride. She was my only asset to accomplish my vengeance. “How can I talk to a person unable to raise not even a leap to say a word?” said that little voice in my head but still, I went to my so called friend Lucenzo’s home. His house was a huge castle of the 16s set on the Amordeo’s property. It had been inhabited by more than 10 generations of the Amordeo’s and I made myself an unbreakable oath that Lucenzo would be the very last one. The castle had some dark traits in the night, even though during the day, it looked like the house of a god. The contrast between his house and mine was as clear as ebony and ivory. As soon as I entered in his mansion, I made my way straight to the room where Lucenzo kept Elizabeth hidden. Obviously, I knew where she was hidden because Lucenzo blindly relished me. I slowly opened the door as if I was walking to the gates of death, and then darkness and cold showed up in that room. It was so cold that I wished the sun could have burned me alive. There was that sound too that made me think of all forgotten legends about secrets of the night. It was getting louder and louder as if someone was pounding the table with a knife. My body was trembling, my voice, rumbling all the things I didn’t want to apprehend. Paranoïa was shutting me down and I was about to collapse until I remembered Lucenzo had told me to turn the lights on before entering the room. Illuminated by the light, the room was the total opposite of what paranoïa was making me see. It was an extremely large room painted in white - a house in the basement, you could tell. There was nothing else but a bed, a restroom, and a pendulum clock. The sound that was flipping me out was the sound of Elizabeth’s pencil that was drawing with her eyes fixed to the pendulum clock as if her survival depended on
Thanking the Sir, I grab my glass and sit down to relax but find myself in a slight state of paranoia. A muffled scream is heard and I see some silhouettes dragging a figure towards a room. Thinking nothing of it, I return to peace taking slow sips of my drink. That peace is broken as I feel two strong men grab me, and someone else covers my mouth with some sort of fabric. Before I can even struggle, I feel my heart ache in pain and my body gives up drifting into a state of sleep.
Today, I leave for the new world. My men have brought me news of a vast city made of gold and full of riches. With conquistadors and a few Jesuit priests to convert any new people that we may find the church, I am nervous. I must gather my men and, Pedro, angry with me. The governor has told me to not go, but I need this.
and it brought me to a apartment building’ its walls were cracked and there seemed to be no doors on their hinges, out of nowhere someone grabs me and I start to struggle to get loose but it 's to late they have knocked me out. I’ve woke up laying on a tattered up old looking bed, my feet were freezing
Sweat pours down my armpits, and chest as the young bloods of Young Justice take on the unyeilding Black Canary. We throw everything we have at her, but she easily defeats us- through divide, and conquer. Stepping up to the plate, my instincts take hold of my body, and execute a backflip; just as BC 's roundhouse comes swerving in. Timed to perfection, I narrowly avoid the vicious attack, and land gracefully. Is she trying to seriously injure us?
Once again, freezing darkness was carrying me in its hand. This time, I was hearing a breath so rough and powerful than the wind of the 1400s. Fear can sometimes make us want to die when you feel that we are in danger because it means two things: either you die and you don’t fear anymore, either you are saved but in that case, you are condemned to fear again and again until your last breath. That was the situation I was put into.
The wooden planks creaked with each stride. Every door slammed shut as in accordance to the beat of its conductor. Draped curtains flailed uncontrollably atop the windows throughout the house which seemed to shake with every gasp of air. Never before was there any intimation to a presence, a ghostly figure. However, today, it now became clear, that this was not a home for the living, but a resting mansion for the already deceased.
Her descriptions of the room, with the furniture seemingly being nailed to the floor and the windows being “barred” show an underlying understanding that her thoughts and personality is being confined. The irony present in this description, due to her belief that the room used to be a nursery, shows her early denial of her husband’s dominance over her. As the story progresses and she begins to see the woman behind the wallpaper, the reader is exposed to the narrator’s realization that she is the one that is actually being suppressed. The descriptions of the wallpaper, showing how confining it is for the symbolic woman behind it, shows how the narrator is being trapped by those bars in both her marriage and in her mental illness. Thus when she says, “At night in any kind of light… it becomes bars,” the reader is shown how restricted the narrator feels, reflected through the wallpaper.
Imagine walking through an eerie hallway. All alone, surrounded by nothing but silence and darkness. All of a sudden a scream is heard from afar, the sound of screaming and racing footsteps pierces the hallway. The screams come to a halt as heavy footsteps are heard from behind. In a blink of an eye a terrifying, bloody mangled face pops out from the shadows and whispers a body shivering message.
The door creaks open, I see them, two men… they look so tasty. They’re picking me up and dragging me down the hall. We finally stop, I hear another door open, I look up and the only thing in the room is a table tilted at a seventy-five degree angle. They are pinning me against the table, please speak up, you’re never this quiet.
“The Cask of Amontillado” is one of Edgar’s Allen Poe best short narratives with its vengeful characters and eerie and horror-filled atmosphere. The story was published in 1847, to later be known as a classical tale of revenge. Both Fortunato and Montresor were the protagonist and antagonist that kept his short narrative alive and suspenseful to the audience. What also kept his story full of life was what happened to between these characters that made this story revengeful. Though what is revenge?
She proceeds to explain the contributing factors of the narrator succumbing to her “disease” of hysteria which was isolation from social interaction and the restriction of her own thoughts. She points out that the narrator is confined to a simple square room with nothing to offer in terms of mental health therapy. The narrator’s lack of the ability to interact with anything or anyone leads to infatuation with the wallpaper, which turns out to be “the
Edgar Allan Poe is most famous for the gothic themes he presents in his writings, this was no exception for Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado”. A straight-forward story that focuses on the theme of revenge. Poe brings up some important ideas about revenge which can be broken down into 3 parts: the incentive for getting revenge, the extent one is willing to go for revenge, and the reaction of the person after the act. This reasoning is essential in recognizing the act of revenge while reading the story. It provides the reader the ability to question their view on revenge as well as compare it to Poe’s ideas.
This phrase tells us that he referred his last wife as a piece of artwork. Furthermore, while the Duke spoke with the emissary, we are hinted that he might have treated all his wives as objects or possessions shown in the phrase “At starting, is my object”. The Duke referred the Count’s daughter as an object which suggests that he is probably going to treat her in the same way as he did with his last wife and may also end up the same like his last Duchess. These ideas help present the way the Duke treats his wives as objects as well as us wondering what could have happened to his past
Like most 12-year-old boys, Miguel was right handed and wanted to be a soccer player when he grew up. To him though, he knew that would never happen. At such a young age Miguel had already accepted the fate of being a farmer. Miguel woke with a start.
All of a sudden, I heard a huge bang and then a scream from a woman. My nerves jumped up a little bit, and I started to have some second thoughts about going in. However, it was too late, and we were already in. The worker showed my dad, my brother, and I, a long, narrow hallway we were supposed to follow.
