This is certainly a modern adaptation of Poe's Tell-Tale Heart. And I do love it! I can't believe this masterpiece was written by a man. I'm by no means saying men don't write good stories, it's just surprising this particular adaptation was written by a man. the perspective does indeed feel very female.
