The answer you seek lies within me.
Shining seen and yet unseen.
Clear only to those who can look.
I am buried within this text, but first things first.
Dead, our doors are open to you, here.
They educate many within our confines.
The prey of others are asked the ultimate question.
The fair face of mortality is studied,
And in the answers that are found, the dead guide the living.
So that searching by you is not in vain, remember,
In this place men who are dead do tell tales.
Where or What am I?
This was our puzzle for October 6th, sadly nobody won the contest. The answer to the puzzle was The Body Farm. The answer is embedded in the poem above. The first letter of the first line, second letter of the second line, etc. See below.

Poe used this same technique to obscure the name a lover in a poem. Better luck next time.
