Line 67:
| But despite that, I resisted and stayed still. I barely breathed. I kept the lantern still. I tested how still I could keep the ray on the eye. Meanwhile, the beating of the heart increased. It became faster and faster, louder and louder, every moment. The man must have been absolutely terrified! It grew louder, I repeat, louder, every second! Do you understand me? I already mentioned that I easily get scared, and I am. And in the middle of the night, in the dreadful silence of that old house, such a strange noise completely terrified me. Even so, I kept still for a few more minutes. But the beating got louder and louder! I thought the heart would burst. And then something new worried me: the sound might be heard by a neighbor! The time of the old man's death had come! With a loud yell, I opened the lantern and jumped into the room. He screamed once, and only once. The next moment, I pulled him to the floor and put the heavy bed on top of him. Then I smiled cheerfully, knowing that the deed was almost finished. But for many minutes, the heart kept beating with a muffled sound. This, however, didn't bother me, as it wouldn't be heard through the wall. Finally, it stopped. The old man was dead. I moved the bed and examined the corpse. Yes, he was completely, completely dead. I put my hand on his heart and kept it there for many minutes. There was no pulse. He was completely dead. His eye would not bother me anymore.
