The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe

I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black.
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky.

I made an Artist Trading Card (ATC) / Playing Card with an underlying dark theme, corresponding to my current world view.

The words are from The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe.

People in ancient times viewed Ravens as being messengers between the two worlds of the living and the dead, possessing prophetic knowledge and being harbingers of Death.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.18.

This week’s Gothic Arches challenge was “Edgar Allan Poe.” I based my piece on The Masque of the Red Death, my favorite short story by Edgar Allan Poe. I show the view through the gothic scarlet window in the western chamber at midnight, when Prince Prospero confronts the mummer who appeared at his masked ball.
