A few days ago I used Poe's poem "To Helen" as a not-good example of a myth poem.
Then, I almost used him again as a not-good example of simile.
Then, I had a dream in which my brother-in-law's cat--named Poe--was hissing at me and attacking me. Coincidence?

I'm having an idea for a short horror story involving Poe (the author's) spirit coming to terrorize a writing instructor who uses his works as bad examples.

It's yours! :)
If it helps, the cat looked like the devil.
Although my "undead" theme assignment for my writing group is a few days overdue, I wouldn't be able to use the typical disclaimer when I'm a famous author and my early short oevres are published someday: "This is a work of fiction. Any resemblances to persons living or dead are purely unintentional." But you could write the story! You can't sue yourself.

Maybe, but you wouldn't be writing about me. You would just be borrowing something from something that happened to someone you know. That's how most writing gets done.
Like, make what happened happen to a 6o-year-old man or something.
