The Tell-Tale Heart (From The Old Man’s Perspective)
I have been a heavy smoker all my life. As I got older, I began to realize that death was slowly creeping in my direction on silent feet. However, I never would have imagined one day meeting a much more tragic fate. Ever since my grandson’s 13th birthday, my health has declined rapidly. Although I did not want to admit it at the time, I was experiencing an excruciating chest pain that one could only diagnose as the development of cancer. My family thought it would be best to send me to a treatment facility to treat my illness. I never wanted to go, but I had no choice; the pain became too unbearable. Shortly after, I was booked. I was now locked away in what seems like a secluded dungeon.
