What was the story about?

In this short story by Edgar Alan Poe, the narrator wants to tell us that he is sane, despite the fact that he has committed murder. However, it is evident to the readers very quickly that he is insane. He is infatuated with his roommate's evil eye, which drives him to murder him.

The narrator slices up his roommate after killing him. He, on the other hand, becomes paranoid, believing that the deceased man's heart is still beating. When the cops arrive, he hears a heartbeat and figures they can as well. He feels they are aware of his secret and consequently confesses to the cops.
