The Neverending Story

It's collaborative story time. Please continue the story below by posting one sentence at a time, attempting to create one continuous plot. Today, we will use Poe's "The Raven" as a jumping-off point. From there, it is wonderful if our story diverges wildly from the original, ie. it does not rhyme or mention a raven. The story should never end, but if it reaches a natural settling point, maybe it's time for a new chapter.

Please refresh the page shortly before you post to make sure nobody has beat you to the next sentence. Post hastily! The only rule is that you may not post 2 sentences in a row. Our story begins here:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore - while I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
