A man is in his bedroom, very late into the night. He is reading a book and dozing off when he hears someone knocking at his door.
It was in December, so it was very cold. He had a fire going, and he watched the ashes fade. He was excited for tomorrow, he was to read another book. That book was full of sorrow, just like he was at the loss of his love, Lenore.
The man saw his purple curtains moving, and it thrilled him because he did not know the cause of this. He took it to be the visitor at the door.

The man smiled, still. He pulled a chair to him, and sat in front of the bird. He thought of how haunting this bird was, and then its croaking,” Nevermore.”
He sat back reclining, wondering why the bird was here.
The man was angry as he came to the thought that God had sent this bird. He yelled at the bird. He yelled at the Devil for taking his Lenore. The bird responded,” Nevermore.”
He called the bird a prophet, a sign of evil. He asked the bird questions hoping for a response. All he got was,”
