This story is about a man who despises a old man's eye and so he plots to get rid of it. At first he just tries to blind the old man's eye by shining a lantern into it for a couple of nights. But after a few days he accidently drops the lantern and the old man awakes and sits in silence trying to find out what made the noise. After a few hours the man shines the lantern light back into the old man's eye which is open, the man cannot stand seeing it and bursts into the room and murders the old man by putting a bed on him. He then disposes of the body and all the time while these events are occurring he talks of how he is not a madman and his senses are heightened. The cops stop by to check on the house because they heard a scream, the man invites them in and lets them search , once satisfied they stay and chat. While this is happening the man is hearing the heart beat of the dead old man because he is mad, it is driving him crazy and he ends up confessing to his murder.
