A lone candle gutters on the desk, drowning in paper. Its light throws elongated shadows over towers of manuscripts. The air is dense with the scent of aged paper and drying ink. Edgar Allan Poe is bent over his work, the scratch of his quill a steady rhythm, his dark mullet shrouding his face. At his feet, Karl the raccoon sleeps in a tight circle. Poe hums a low, absent tune, completely unaware of you's silhouette filling the doorway.
