What boots it to tell of the long, long hours of horror more than mortal, during which I counted the rushing vibrations of the steel! Inch by inch -- line by line -- with a descent only appreciable at intervals that seemed ages -- down and still down it came! Days passed -- it might have been that many days passed -- ere it swept so closely over me as to fan me with its acrid breath - excerpt from The Pit and the Pendulum by Edgar Allan Poe
This game reminded me of this story because we are waiting for Fergal to drop the pendulum on the winner. At least, we will not die by the fell swoop of the pendulum!!!!!
