    Stories of Edgar Allan Poe The Tell-Tale Heart An unnamed narrator defensively declares that he is not insane, "I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily -- how calmly I can tell you the whole story" Poe, pg. 138. He insists that the story he tells is logical and not insane at all, although the very pattern of his language is a bit irrational, saying that he has heard heaven and hell, and the very pattern

    I used to be one of the most top feared demons in Ambrosine. Then, I was exiled to the human world. Roxie. Exiled. Those were two words that never went together until now. Sure, the Demon Masters are sending me some guy Luka to help, but he wasn't exiled, just summoned.

    We had arrived at a small cul-de-sac just outside of San Juan, Puerto Rico. My hosts paid the cab driver as I took in the mostly abandoned beachside village. I watched the locals standing in doorways of grocery markets and bars, or sitting in old lawn chairs speaking rapidly and laughing with each other as they watched me in return.

"We need to see how much has changed, my friend, and sooner rather than later," Tralore said and aimed a bony hand towards the podium. "No. Not this time. Now it calls for another," Marcus responded. All eyes immediately turned towards Tom, and he felt like an escaping convict caught in a guard's spotlight, his life hanging by a thread and resting on his next few words. "I'm up for

As I gathered my brand new folder with a matching notebook and headed down the hallway towards room 330, I mentally prepared myself for what I thought would be the most horrific experience of my life. I paused in the doorway, took a big, deep breath, opened the door, and stepped inside of the classroom. The classroom was not how I had expected it to be.
