Premise: Poe's Lost Manuscript

You are Edgar Allen Poe. You must write the lost manuscript that will be discovered 200 years after the author's death.

It is suggested that you read up on Poe. You can find a good number of his poems and short stories here http://bau2.uibk.ac.at/sg/poe/.

You need to write a short story, preferably in the same vein as Fall of the House of Usher and the Raven. Remember, it's the mid-1800's and death and disease are all around!

You have two weeks to write this one. It cannot be posted until 3/17/2005.
