The morning’s awakening, the nightly summons to bed; the connings, the recitations; the periodical half-holidays, and perambulations; the play-ground, with its broils, its pastimes, its intrigues — these, by a mental sorcery long forgotten, were made to involve a wilderness of sensation, a world of rich incident, an universe of varied emotion, of excitement the most passionate and spirit-stirring. “Oh, le bon temps, que ce siecle de fer! “
-From Edgar Allen Poe’s ‘William Wilson’

The narrator of this story, who calls himself William Wilson, describes the events of his early life in school and the rivalry between himself and another person named William Wilson. As the story progresses, we learn of many similarities between the two Wilsons. Are they twin brothers? or something else?

this is a little darker than what i wanted it to be, but hope i captured the creepy affect i was going for. thanks toni for being my model! this was lots and lots of fun to edit, i think i might be getting better with photoshop… (hopefully!) i realize the story of william wilson is about a man (or two..) but i only had my best friend as a volunteer, so you get the jist of it. this is a part of my edgar allen poe mini-series.

texture from here.
