'Here it is.' - I said pointing to the box in front of him.
I turned around and walked away, but he followed me.
The man walked around me and stopped just in front of me. He looked up and raised his arms at the sky above. He kept staring at the sky for almost a whole minute and then looked me in the eyes and said something to me. 'I'm happy. - he spoke.
'What?' - I asked.
'I'm happy' - he repeated.
'Good.' I smiled as I was slowly walking backwards.
'You better not hurt her.' - said the man in a strange voice.
'What?' - I said standing there astonished.
'I won't hurt her' - he said in his normal voice, but in a moment his voice changed back to the trilling one again with 'You better stop it now. You do not want to go back to jail, do you?'
I was standing there staring in silence.
He returned once again to his normal voice:
'Of course I don’t want to go back to jail!'
'Then you better stop what you are planning!' - he said again in his trilling voice.
He smiled at me. 'I'm happy.' He pointed a bony hand toward me. The man in the blue suit walked closer, and it hit me that the best defense against him was empathy. I raised up my hands and pointed at something imaginary flying above my head. He froze. Our eyes met. I realized he thought we were one and the same, and he muttered something incoherent about TV. As he was staring at the sky I ran as fast as I could to my car, stepped in, and locked the doors. I pressed the clutch and the car left with a crunch of wheels. I drove away thinking about this man. What kind of life was he living? What drove him insane?

His “cheek had grown pale with study,” and he became delusional. He lost parts of his humanity and was blind to the horrors of his creation. He began to hold himself as a god, since, “no father could claim the gratitude of his child so completely,” and began to push more and more, “[pursuing] mother nature into her hiding-places.” HE was living a delusional, unhealthy life for months. Whenever he did doubt himself, the work consumed him all over again. He was operating under the thought that a, “new species would bless [him] as its creator and source.” He was elevating himself when in reality e was the lowest of the low, but his mental image of himself was warped by hours of intensive work. His mental image wasn’t the only part of him that was warped, he was hurting himself physically as…

He stalked the old man for seven long nights at midnight. For an hour he would carefully and quietly watch the old man as he slept waiting for him to open his eye so he could swiftly get rid of it instantly. “And that I did every night for seven nights - every night just at midnight - but i found the eye always looked closed.” On the eighth night, the narrator accidentally made a noise and the old man awoken and was terrified because he knew someone was watching him. When the narrator thought it was the right moment, he did what he had been planning to do. After, he dismembered the body in his bathtub so no blood was spotted and stuffed it under the floorboard. He carefully thought that all out. What a frightening idea. He could still be proven mad even after all of these insane acts. His mind could have made him think that this was the appropriate way to act because he strongly believed that the eye was…
