Nervous -- very, very nervous I had been and am! But why will you say that I am mad?
You think that I am mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me.
I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and free myself of the eye forever.
RISING ACTION
I watched the old man in his bedroom for seven nights straight without making a sound.I undid the lantern just so much that a single thin ray of light fell upon the vulture eye.
RISING ACTION
On the 8th night, I was more careful but I accidentally made a sound. The old man was so nervous I can hear his heart beating and can't sleep again. Asingle ray of light shot from out and fell full upon the vulture eye.
who's there?
Evil eye! I'm so angry!
CLIMAX
*single cry*
There was no movement. He was stone dead. His eye would trouble me no more.
The man killed the old man.
FALLING ACTION
Policemen arrived at the house because they received a report.
A cry had been heard by a neighbor during the night; suspicion of a crime had been aroused.
You can search around.
RESOLUTION
Villains! Pretend no more! I admit the deed! Tear up the floor boards! Here, here! It is the beating of his hideous heart!
