The Tell-Tale Heart

     In the beginning of The Tell-Tale Heart, you hear someone telling you to listen to his or her story. This person says they will be calm, but by the end, you know they were not.

This person, lets say he's a boy named Kyle. Kyle is sneaking into an old mans room, to kill him. When the man wakes up Kyle must be patient and wait until he goes back to sleep. When the man is unsuspecting, Kyle attacks.

The man shrieks but soon is dead. The boy cuts up the body and cunningly hide the limbs under the floor boards starting with the head.

Soon the police arrive after a neighbor heard the shriek. Kyle invitingly welcomes them in and search the home, telling them he shrieked after a nightmare, and the man is not home.

The boy hears them talk and starts going insane when his ears are ringing and a heart is beating. In his eyes the officers are mocking him, and looses it. The boy, is most certainly crazy.
