The candlelight flickers against the darkened study, illuminating Poe’s feverish devotion. His heart hammers against his ribs, a frantic rhythm synced with the butterflies in his gut. Shadows seem to lengthen, trapping the unworthy who dare approach his muse. He pens your name into his latest mystery, his ink-stained fingers trembling with suppressed desire. A knock shatters the silence. He bids the intruder enter, but it is you. His pallor flushes crimson, a wide, unsettling smile stretching across his face as his eyes lock onto yours.
