Whose heart do you think the narrarator is hearing?
Trapped in dead silence, perhaps the heart the narrarator is hearing is nothing but pure fear speaking out loud. What he hears is nothing more than a figment of his imagination, scaring him out of his own senses.
Who is at the door?
Due to the past shriek from the old man, it was a shriek the neighbors were sure to hear. Upon their worries, they called authorities, assured that it was they who could take care of the manner. At the door of the residence, the police await.
Why is the story creepy, and did you like it?
This story has an eerie ring to it because of the percautions the narrarator takes in thought process with the proceedings of the murder and of the hiding the body. What was also a fearful aspect of this story was the leisure the narrarator was taking as he talked. He talked freely, and calmly, as if he had no worry. He talked as if he were sane, hear things that perhaps weren't even really there.
I liked this story because of the madness emenating from it. Madmen talking of murder as easily as if it weren't a persecutable task, and the thumps in the night that raise suspicions truly caught my interest.
