We have read four short stories. out of all the stories, my favorite was "Tell-Tale Heart." This story was suspensful, and it was also horror. This story was written by Edgar Allen Poe in the 1800s. The characters are the old man, the man, and the police.

The story is about a crazy man who commited a murder. the man was a servent for an old man, whom he liked. The only problem was the old man's "volture eye". The man couldn't take it, and planned to murder the old man. The man waited 8 nights until he saw the eye open, and he ran in and killed the old man. After the old man was dead, he cut him up into pieces, and stuffed him under the floor board. Then the police arrived, and he let them inspect the house. Then out of no where he heard a heart beating faster and faster every moment. he feared that the cops might here it and he ossumed it was the old man's heart beating. He yelled the body is under the floor board!, and told the cops where the body was.
