A tale drawn from Edgar Allan Poe’s iconic short story.
The story is told by an unnamed narrator who insists he is not mad—despite confessing to the murder of an old man. His motive? Not hatred or greed, but the old man’s “vulture eye”, which he claims drove him to obsession. For seven nights, the narrator sneaks into the man’s room, waiting for the eye to be open. On the eighth night, he finally strikes, smothering the old man and hiding the body beneath the floorboards.
