BACKSTORY

“A Descent into the Maelstrom”

An 1841 short story by Edgar Allan Poe where a man recounts his survival of a shipwreck by a hurricane at sea and the resulting whirlpool that followed. "You suppose me a very old man, but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves."
