It is often said whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  Well, if that's the case then anyone left standing at the end of this series will have strength everlasting.

From Fox River to the madness of a serial killer to secret organizations bent on world domination or mass destruction and chaos...whatever the obstacle, Michael Scofield, Lincoln Burrows and their family will have their work cut out for them if they hope to reach the finish line alive.

Just as the man in Poe's "The Raven" mourns the loss of his beloved Lenore, Michael Scofield mourns the death of his beloved Sara.  And as in the poem, Michael is tormented to the point of madness without her.  In the end will torment win out over sanity?  Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

When read as a set, these short fics will follow Michael's descent and perhaps his return from the abyss?  Read the excerpts for a clue as to the ending...

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the lost Lenore,.
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore,
Nameless here forevermore.

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil--prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that heaven that bends above us--by that God we both adore--
Tell this soul with sorrow laden, if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden, whom the angels name Lenore---
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels name Lenore?
Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."
