The Tell-Tale Heart
Author Edgar Allan Poe
Middle:
''I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it.'' The madman watched the old man for 7 days waiting on the old man to eye open his eye. On the eighth night the madman snicked into the old mans room and found his eye wide open.

The madman kills the old man with a mattress and chops him up into pieces and stuffs him under the floorboards. | The police officers knock on the door because they heard a shriek. They come in and look around the house. The police officers sit down and talk to the madman but they don't suspect anything but innocence from the madman. |
