I woke up to the sound of banging on my door. I got up intending to open the door, but swiftly eyed the grandfather clock in my living room. It was only 5 a.m. “Who would come now?” I muttered to myself. I stopped on my tracks and thought about the Red Death. Should I open the door?

Maybe I won’t be single anymore, I thought to myself. As soon as I caught her, I stopped dead on my tracks. The sound made by the ebony clock symbolized the arrival of midnight. Everyone stopped doing what they were previously occupied with, too scared to move because of the sinister sound of the clock. “Who dares?” Prince Prospero’s voice echoed through the blue room disturbing the silence that settled in the atmosphere.“Who dares insult us with this blasphemous mockery?

Jack Davis uses an authentic voice through the implementation of genuineness that’s evident through his lack of biasness. Jack Davis doesn’t degrade the characters of those such as Neville and Neal, instead exhibiting attitudes in response to the context of the story.
