Methodically, the narrator plans and executes the murder, dismembering the body and concealing it under the floorboards.

However, a growing auditory hallucination of a beating heart drives the narrator to madness, leading to a full confession and the revealing of the body's location.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
