[[Join me|2.The Sweet Old Man with the "Evil Eye"]] as we re-tell a tale about that time that "nervousness" got inside my mind... <img src="images/1crazyman.jpg" width="700" height="500" alt="Madman">

We once lived with an old man and though he never bothered us none, the evil sparkle in his eye just really rubbed us wrong. Could we [[ignore|12.Sleep It Off]] the eye or did the thought of it just [[never leave our mind?|3.The Plan]] <img src="images/2evileye.jpg" alt="Evil Eye">

Oh that nervousness we just can't bear, maybe we really shouldnt take it there. The reprucusions feel far to steep, perhaps its best we go to sleep. But who are we kidding, those thoughts will come right back. No matter how hard we try, we can't escape [[the path|3.The Plan]]. <img src="images/12stop.jpg" width="500" height="300" alt="X">

For a week we creep into the old mans room, waiting for a chance to strike. But everytime we peaked inside, the Eye is shut and trying to hide. We could just lay low and [[give up |12.Sleep It Off]] the fight, or perhaps we can just [[return on the eighth night? | 4.The Eighth Night]] <img src="images/3crackeddoor.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="Cracked Door">

On this eigth night we return once more, to find away to get rid of that wretched eye. We walk slowly, creeping into the old man's room but my finger slips and GASP! we make great noise. "Who goes there?" says the old man. Should we stay and linger waiting for the time to [[strike| 5.The Evil Eye Awakes]] or do we [[retreat|12.Sleep It Off]] in fear of getting caught? <audio src="sounds/4metalclank.wav" autoplay>

We wait one whole hour, watching the old man stare off in fear, we make our move to creep inside once more. Quietly, we move our head in through the crack in the door and with the shine of our lantern see the "Evil Eye" torment us once more. Finally! our chance to [[get the job done|6. To Silence The Eye the Old Man Must Die]] or should we retreat and [[leave the man unharmed?|12.Sleep It Off]] <img src="images/5manwatching.jpg" width="800" height="650" alt="Man Watching">

Wise choices, just as we always make. Now that we have made our choice, we realized its not just the "Eye" but the loud noise of the old man's heart. Do you hear it, getting loud? Surely everyone can hear it now, we must hurry and [[kill the old man|7. The Aftermath]] before the neighbors become alarmed with that loud sound! <audio src="sounds/6heartbeatcopy.wav" autoplay>

Well look at that, everyone would be just so impressed about how well we kept the room intact, remember it wasn't madness that drove us to commit the act. It was that "Evil Eye" always starring back, urging us to strike. Now, standing over the old man, how do we proceed? Should we [[hide all invovement in the deed|8. Disposing of the Body]] or [[brag to everyone of our greatest work!|11.Confessing to the Crime]]? <img src="images/7murder.jpg" alt="Murder">

Now that we've done away with that nasty eye, it seems best that we carefully hide the old mans body. What better place than underneath the planks in his very own bedroom. No one should suspect a thing. We've commited the perfect crime. Unless [[the nighbors heard that dreadful THUMPING in the night| 9.The Neighbors Call the Cops]]. Oh this nervousness continues to get a hold of me, perhaps its best that we bid each other [[goodnight|12.Sleep It Off]] <img src="images/8floorboards.jpg" width="1000" height="750" alt="Floor Boards">

It seems we cannot hide, that sound is louder than our pride. They stay to mock us but they don't understand, how geniuously we killed the old man with our own two hands! But that sound, they've surely figured it all out... we cannot help it, so we shout! "Its true its true! We killed the man! We know you hear that sound, the thumping, it grows loud!!! Look there, beneath the floor! The cops look at us amazed, and this is how this story ENDS. <img src="images/11jail.jpg" alt="Imprisoned Man">

The pesky neighbors have called the cops after hearing "shrieking" in the night. Do we [[tell the cops of our crime|11.Confessing to the Crime]] or should we tell them [[all is fine|10. Lying to the Cops]]? <img src="images/9neighborpolice.jpg" alt="Neighbor Cops">

Knowing how well we've covered up our crime, we invite the cops to come in and take their time. We explain that it was I that shrieked at night, and let them know the old man is nowhere in sight. He's taken a trip outside the countryside. But suddenly, the unbarable THUMPING sounds start up again. The cops sit there, standing over the old man's grave, mocking us as the sound grows in waves. Do we [[ignore the sounds and call it a day|12.Sleep It Off]] or does [[the sound take over one last time?|11.Confessing to the Crime]] <img src="images/10anxiety.jpg" alt="Anxiety"> <audio src="sounds/10heartbeat.wav" autoplay>
