It looked right through me like I was transparent, it was very accurate. It burnt like fire, smelled like death, and moved like a old, crusty, rotten rat that is versatile. It scares me worse than the mole on his nose. I had to be versatile on my actions. This must be what the narrator was experiencing in the fictional short story “The Tale Heart”by Edgar Allan
