New short story added - The Masque of the Orange Death - A Parody

Hello friends and fiends! Inspired by current events and a comment a friend made, I rewrote Edgar Alan Poe's Masque of the Red Death to be about... uh... certain figures in world politics. It is honestly rather shocking how easily that story can become a parable for the current situation. If you're in any way familiar with the original, you'll probably notice that I barely reworded some sections, and if you're not, I highly recommend looking it up, it is now in the public domain and not only is it easy to find to read free online, but it is also a classic.

You can find my satirical version under the Poetry and Prose Archive in the menu at the top of the site.

Yes, I am well aware that I am a terrible person!
