Read this passage from "the tell-tale heart":
i thought the heart must burst. and now a new anxiety
seized me – the sound would be heard by a neighbour!
the old man's hour had come! with a loud yell, i threw
open the lantern and leaped into the room. he shrieked
once - once only. in an instant i dragged him to the floor,
and pulled the heavy bed over him. i then smiled gaily, to
find the deed so far done. but, for many minutes, the heart
beat on with a muffled sound. this, however, did not vex
me; it would not be heard through the wall. at length it
ceased. the old man was dead.
