It was a dreary December Midnight.
He sat slumped in his chair, too tired to read any longer, the forgotten lore of his lost love Lenore.
A shadowy intruder sat perched on a bust of Pallas Athena.
In delerium he screamed..."Lenore...Lenore! When will I see you again"?
Just then, his Dark Companion whispered.....
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55...
Please come tell The G-Man!!
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment, Then BOOK!!!
So from the most gracious host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick-Ass Week-End!!!!

Sorry I was out last week, but we had a death in the family. Anyway, tonight is the finale of THE LOST KEY.
I love Poe and this 55.
Mine will be up in an hour.
PG
...his Dark Companion whispered, "FINISH THE DAMN STORY!!"
lol
Poe is my hero; always was. In the cemetery where he's 'buried' (it's by the medical college so who knows for sure) is a headstone with my name on it. I always liked that.
And mine's UP! Have a great weekend Galen!
That was a Poe excuse for a 55. LOL
How perfect for an eerily chilly October eve! Could explain why half a dozen crows followed my doggie and me on our evening walk. Crows are scary -- not that the dog thinks so.
I'm speechless! Well done!
So . . . continuing with the "dark" theme, I give you the following:

Dark Companion indeed!

G-ster, you are so talented! I love Poe. The Tell Tale Heart always haunted me.
P.S. Your last comment made me cry yesterday. I'm so happy to have you as a friend. You have no idea how much I needed that.
That cuts off at a remarkably good spot, eh?
Mine is here.
Who is this Poe everyone's talking about???
Just kidding LOL
Mine's HERE
Ah, spooky. I like spooky. And Poe's my favourite writer. Nicely done.
You'll find mine here.
Galen ~ So versatile ~ who knew? Excellent and leaving me wanting more.
I've done two this week ... hope you don't mind. I was just "feelin' it".
Here they are. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Chef Kar
Wow!!! I like these ones with mistery and esoterism (?)
Mine is UP too

Lenore made me think of 'Lenor' a fabric softener - sorry to be so mundane:-/
Quoth the Raven,'Nevermore'.

i'm up g-luv, and it's different this time round. peace!
Ah, Mr. Poe! Right up my alley.
My pitiful little offering is up. Not feeling well this evening, Galen. So just a small thing. But better that than NOTHING! D
Mr. Knowitall: Beached whale sent me on over to post a FF55 on the site but it looks like I posted it to Susie's blog maybe. Anyway he wanted me to link the post to you or leave it here (I guess, not technically savvy on the blogosphere) so here's what I wrote. He says you ride so you might like something with bikes involved.
The weathered, grey haired, former Marine tugged on the clutch lever and eased a tattered boot heel down on the shifter as he watched the speedo ease up to 60. A quickly setting sun melted into the quiet ocean passing on his right. Ahead, the night and an uncertain future. He would remember this ride.
There ya go! Ride on bro!
It's Lenore!!!!! I did a Flash 55 - although, I think it's a little late now! :-)
Akelamalu delivered your hugs(((((HUGS BACK)))) QUEENIE X
Holy macaroni, gman!
You're getting so good at this.
The comment list is also impressive.
♥
N . . . . evermore!
I'm late again!
Alas.
TRIFOCAL TERRORS – WHAT A SIGHT
Poe still has his room at UVA set aside so you can look into it - I used to do that now again when I went to school there.
Excelent, I love poe, he is the reason why I learn english, to understand his poetry!
Beautifull picture also
Thanks G
