"The Tell-Tale Heart"

The Ship

For me there was nothing but hardship and pain for three months, for that is how long it took us to get to Peru. I had cold sweats in my sleep, and nightmares that were so bad, I screamed. I even thought I saw John a couple of times aboard the ship. I tell you I was paranoid, not mad, but paranoid. I could not sleep, could not eat. I could not think.
