“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed!-tear up the planks!-here, here!- it is the beating of his hideous heart!”. A killers guilt, anxiety, and suspense takes over and he reveals to the police where the victims body is, in one of Edgar Allan Poe's best “The Tell-Tale Heart.” The Killer made a mistake, a mistake he didn't realize, That with every Cause there is An effect.
