Answer:

The main character killed the old man because of his glass eye.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the story, the main character denies of being called a serial killer. The only reason that he killed the old man was because of his glass eye that was bothering him so much. The old man was never rude towards the killer, nothing like that. It is also why the murder took so long to preform.
