When Dreams Come True

 I did not get the satisfaction I was hoping for. I wanted to feel amazing. Isn't that the way revenge is supposed to be? You hurt those who hurt you?

 It never started in a particular time. I suppose all those small things that angered me started from the beginning of our friendship. He would say comments about my religion, family, even the way I looked. He meant no harm, but I always got these thoughts. I wanted to hurt Fortunato. Every night for the last years I knew him, I dreamed of his death. He is what surrounded my mind for years, ruining my life. One night he was buried alive, another night he was trapped in a fire. The last deaths I saw were set after an exciting day. Once it was after a wedding and another was after a big ball. I think that I got this festive feeling since carnival was coming. Weeks before carnival, I dreamt of myself. I did all these things to him. In my dream I felt this sensation of my sinful actions. In that moment I wanted to kill Fortunado. I did my planning and my thoughts became evil. I drove myself insane.

Then I killed him.

I didn't get the satisfaction. I blamed it on the setting. I blamed it on the day. I didn't blame it on myself; and that's why I do it now. He was always on my mind and ruined my life, yet, I took his.

Goodbye,
Montresor

"Fortunato's killer dead?"
After finding the body of Fortunato, it isn't to difficult to find who did it. What appears to be a suicide note is found in the crime scene. We are on the lookout for Montresor's body.

  2. I loved your introduction, and the whole thing was a huge plot twist, I thought that it was actually Montresor talking to us, but the ending was just fabulous. This narrative has to be my favorite so far.

  3. This was great! I kind of based it on the same thing, guilt and such. I tried to imitate Poe's writing style, but it didn't really work out. :/ Great job though.

  4. I felt that was a extremely good ending! You spoke the way that Poe did and you seemed in tune with how Montresor would have to feel after having killed Fortunato. Great job!
