:04:03
you're seven years old,
and you are my son.
:04:06
I want you to get outside
and have some real fun."
:04:09
Her anger now spent,
she walked out through the hall.
:04:13
While Vincent backed slowly
against the wall,
:04:16
the room started to sway,
to shiver and creak,
:04:19
his horrid insanity
had reached its peak.
:04:23
He saw Abacrombie,
his zombie slave,
:04:25
and heard his wife call
from beyond the grave,
:04:28
she spoke from the coffin,
and made ghoulish demands,
:04:32
while through cracking walls
reached skeleton hands.
:04:39
Every horror in his life
that had crept through his dreams,
:04:43
swept his mad laughter
to terrified screams.
:04:48
To escape the madness,
he reached for the door,
:04:51
But fell limp and lifeless
down on the floor.
:04:56
His voice was soft
and very slow,
:05:00
as he quoted "The Raven"
from Edgar Allan Poe.
:05:04
"...and my soul from out that shadow...
:05:08
...that lies floating on the floor...
:05:11
...shall be lifted...
:05:14
...NEVERMORE."
