Introduction

"There once was a man...driven mad. Driven mad by the sight of an eye...an evil eye...the eye of a vulture that resides in the head of an old man. While this madness clouded his mind, he thought - the only way to get rid of the eye is to murder the man. Yet, the madness stayed with him...for even with the eye gone, now he hears the thump..thump..thump..of the man's murdered heart."
