THIS STORY IS ABOUT A CRAZY MAN THAT NEEDS HELP AND KILLS AN OLD MAN JUST BECAUS OF HIS EYE . EDGAR SEID THAT HIS EYE WAS THE EYE OF A VULTURE-A PALE BLUE EYE , WITH A FILM OVER IT.AND WHEN EVER HE LOOKED AT IT HIS BLOOD TURNED COLD . WHEN HE KILED HIM HE PUT THE OLD MAN ON HIS BED FOR IT WOULD LOOK LIKE HE DIED IN HIS SLEEP.EVERY NIGHT HE WOULD GO TO THE OLD MANS ROOM AND LOOK AT HIM AND ASK AND ANSWERS HIS OWN QUESTIONS .AT THE END EDGAR CONFESSES BECAUSE HE THINKS THAT THE POLICE CAN HEAR THE BEATING OF THE OLD MAN'S HEART.
