The neighbors called the police after hearing a shrike from the old man, the police search the whole house but don't find anything. Then, the narrator starts feeling a bit too cocky and places chairs right where he hid the old mans body in the floor, but he starts hearing a ring noise in his ears from the beating of the old mans heart (or at least that's what the guilt is described as) he gets so filled with furry that he tells them of the crime he committed.

∙ 10y agoIt's 'The Tell-Tale Heart'. The narrator of this story is mad, despite what he says. His police visitors can see this and perceive that he is uncomfortable with their presence in his room, so they just protract their stay until the guy is so unsettled that he has to confess. One of the symptoms of his madness is hyper-sensitivity: he hears, feels, smells things to a degree that is beyond ordinary. (A symptom of Mercury poisoning and other things) One thing that he imagines is that he hears the beating of the old man's heart. The old man is dead of course so its probably his own heart that he is hearing regardless he is disturbed by the sound and is driven to heightened excitement by it.
Because he keeps hearing the heart beating under the floorboards and he will do anything to get rid of the sound.
