An Alternate Ending to a Poe Classic: The Sequel, by Walter Scott Story

A little while back I read Edgar Allan Poe's classic "The Cask of Amontillado..." Well, Walter Scott Story wrote a little alternative ending to the story that also got into the first issue of Weird Tales (1923).

It's simply titled "The Sequel," and it tells the story of a possible, and maybe even plausible, escape. Having played around with bricks and mortar before, I find this story believable.

Anyway, see the video above for my reading, or read it yourself here:
