The Cask of Amontillado

The Rise of The Skeleton

We were only a few steps away from the Amontillado. Montresor pushed me up against the wall and chained me to it. I fought for my life, pushing his hands away.  I just gave up there was nothing I could do he was stronger than me. Montresor started packing bricks around me. I just thought to myself I am going to die there is no way to get out. Just as I said that Montresor walked out of the door.

            As soon as Montresor stepped out of the door I heard a scream. It went silent, the walls started to shake, and I just sat there in fear. The bricks started coming out one by one. I didn’t know what was happening. Was Montresor coming after me or was there someone coming to save me?

            Bricks were falling and finally I could see who was out behind the wall. It didn’t look like a human at all it was dead and stood on bones with a sword in its hand. The dead human just smiled at me. He said to me, “ I killed your friend. Would you like to be free?”

            “Yes, yes please get me out of here!” I said to the skeleton.    

            The skeleton freed me from the chains.  As soon as I stepped over all the fallen bricks he started chasing me with his sword. I didn’t know what was happening I was so confused so I started running for my life.  I ran past the Montresor lying there on the ground with blood dripping, red poring out from his body. I looked back and saw that the skeleton was right behind me, so I grabbed a sword that Montresor had been using and cut the skeleton with it.  Bones fell off from his arms and started to chase me again. I ran as fast as I could running out of breath and my body sore from being chained against the wall. I ran and hid in a corner, and the skeleton ran past. I grabbed a bottle of wine and drank to a good life. The skeleton came running towards me with a knife at my heart. I feel to the ground and cried in pain. The skeleton just stared at me and slowly backed away to his tomb.
