[Locked to Tower Residents/those who frequent it][locked from Roderick just in case]
I'd thought it all sounded a bit too familiar to merely be a coincidence.
He even introduced himself as Roderick and spoke of her. I cannot believe I didn't put it together any sooner.
What's happening is astonishingly familiar to a story I once read. Perhaps some of you have read it, as well. The Fall of the House of Usher, by Edgar Allan Poe. The basics of the story are the following: a man named Roderick thought his sister, Madeline, was dead. He entombed her for two weeks as a precautionary measure. The problem being Madeline wasn't dead.
Once the realization fell upon him, Roderick opened the vault and his sister's corpse fell on him.
Roderick died of fright and [a slight pause] the house itself collapsed.
What's happening is alarmingly similar, too similar, to be a coincidence. Isn't it?
[Basically: THEY MUST DO SOMETHING LEST THEY WANT SHIT TO GET WORSE. Not that the Tower has to collapse, necessarily, but... this is Chicago.]
