The Ninety and Nine

[Elementz]

"The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true." - Edgar Allen Poe

Does anyone else find any relevance between Poe and the Tet corporation (or King?).

I posted this over a year ago, but for some reason (maybe Sombra?) the post was removed.

p.s. The beams aren't fixed. The hundredth man is still following the man in black across the desert.

I would think that yes, given King's background, this holds a lot of relevance, Poe writes horror and well, King, writes horror. The influences of the likes of HP Lovecraft, Poe, etc are bound to be shown through his writing, and given the whole story came about from poetry, it wouldn't be reaching to think this shows up in there as well. I'd love to get all his references together and tie them all into the DT series on like, a huge corkboard or something. It would be one impressive branching tree methinks
