Answer:
The Next Door Neighbor's Point of View in "The Tell-Tale Heart"
As the next door neighbor of the old man, I was familiar with his strange behavior. I often observed him through the thin walls of our apartments, and it was clear to me that he was not completely sane.
One night, while trying to sleep, I was startled by a loud noise coming from the old man's apartment. I could hear him arguing with someone, but his voice sounded different. It was filled with fear and panic, unlike his usual calm and collected tone.
The next morning, I noticed that the old man was nowhere to be seen. I asked around, but nobody seemed to know where he had gone. I even went as far as knocking on his door, but there was no answer.
A few days later, the police arrived, and I was questioned about any strange activity I might have observed. I told them about the loud noise I had heard and the old man's unusual behavior. They then proceeded to search his apartment.
To my horror, they found the old man's body lying in a pool of blood. It was clear that he had been murdered.
As the police questioned the young man who was responsible for the old man's death, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The young man was clearly unwell, his eyes were wild, and his speech was erratic.
He claimed that he had killed the old man because of his vulture-like eye. The eye had been tormenting him, and he couldn't take it any longer. It was then that I realized the significance of the old man's missing eye.
Although I was shocked and saddened by the horrific crime that had been committed, I was also grateful that justice had been served. The young man was taken away, and I was left to reflect on the strange and tragic events that had taken place in my quiet apartment building.
