2-7-12 tell tale heart

This short story is about a man servant who comes to think that his master's eye is creepy. For an entire week, the man servant watches his master sleep and waits for the eye to be open. He also uses a lantern to look if the eye is open by opening the slightly so that a beam of light shines on the eyelid. On the eighth night the servant does the same thing and watches for the eye to be open. The servant when he tries to used the lantern it makes a squeaking sound and his master wakes up and is incredible freaked out. The servant stands in the doorway waiting. As his masters terror of this unknown enemy reaches a climax the servant jumps out of the doorway and knocks his master to the ground and then crushes him with the the bed. The servant then dismembers the body and hides the parts under the floorboards. The police soon arrive because somebody heard a cry from this house. As the police are investigating the servant begins to here the sounds of a heart beat. This continues until at the end of the story when he is being driven crazy by the noise and screams that the body is under the floor boards and that he committed the crime.
