Today I was brought into the presink to evaluate a man. This man apparently kill another man. I don’t have all the details, but hopefully I will find out in questioning.

I’ve got to go he is being brought out to me…

This man is a murderer, insane but a murderer. At first the interigation started out slow, while he told me his story. He talked about how he took care of this old man witch he had no problem with, but of what the old mans eye looked like. He did it all for an eye, and I quote a “vulture eye”.

He told me that he had been planning to kill the old man for weeks, and that every night at 12:00 a.m. He would go into the old man’s room and watch him. At that point I think the man could see the expression on my face, because he then said “I’m not in insane, I know you think I am but I’m not, I went into his room to see if I could pull it off”. After that I was uncomfortable to be in a room with that man, a man who disliked something so small on the old man as to kill him. I really didn’t want to be there

The story of the narrator is untrustworthy at times because he is a madman, gives unbelievable statements, and continues to let what others cannot hear affect him. Some of the things the narrator starts off by saying shows he is a madman or a psychopath. It is hard to trust someone like that because they are good manipulators and at falsifying information to others. The narrator reveals, “I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever” (Poe 37).
