Writing Exercise

The 2nd Annual "Write Like Edgar Allan Poe" Exercise

Poe's birthday is the 19th. To honor him, write a short-short-short story or a scene in the Poe style.

If you're unfamiliar with his style, his shortest well-known stories are "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado," and should be easily found on the web. Also, you could read last year's exercise results in the archives, January 25th.

Deadline: Sunday, 10 AM eastern. 300 words max.
