pretty funny that Keawe got Kokua with the help of the Imp, lost her, and regained her with the help of the Imp. It was an ongoing cycle for quite sometime but at the end it was the Imp who almost caused him to lose her for eternity.

The way he got both of those was through the Imp yet it was the Imp who made them dread having the possessed material.Temptation

Edgar Allan Poe "The boundaries which divide Life and Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends, and where the other begins?" Edgar Allan Poe, The Premature Burial (Bartlett, 642). To venture into the world of Edgar Allan Poe is to embark on a journey to a land filled with perversities of the mind, soul, and body.
