Morbid's Consumption - The Red Death

Lor Galaxy

I give you the following definition for many reasons. Some people do not understand that Consumption, The Red Death and Tuberculosis (or TB) are the same deadly infectious disease. When I look at your beautiful creation I also see the great master of horror Edger Allen Poe's chilling tale The Masque of the Red Death. This fantastic story was based on his wife Virginia's battle with this horrid affliction. How she was covered, down the front of her long flowing nightgowns to her feet, in her own blood after it had forced her to cough up her lungs that were consumed by this plague. Many times it was a black, blood red color and very lacy. As your lovely gown is.

I know it is a grosume discription and just hope you will consider my idea. thank you for taking the time to look at my suggestion, and i hope to have this lovely example of Victorion and Goth finery in my collection very soon.
