Pit and the Pendulum - so what was in the pit?greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Work of Edgar Allan Poe : One Thread |
Can someone tell me what was in the pit. What did he see that was so horrible that "any death but that of the pit" would have been preferable? Did I miss something or did Poe just leave it to our imagination?

There was nothing in the pit. Just other dead people.
