Ok, a story that crosses your pigeon and Poe's Tell-Tale Heart is rolling around in my head!
Yet the sound increased --and what could I do? It was a low, dull, quick sound --much such a sound as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I gasped for breath --and yet the maintenance man heard it not. I talked more quickly --more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why would he not take it and be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of this man --but the noise steadily increased. Oh God! what could I do? I foamed --I raved --I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder --louder --louder! And still the man chatted pleasantly, and smiled. Was it possible he heard not the cooing? Almighty God! --no, no! He heard! --he suspected! --he knew! --he was making a mockery of my horror!-this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear his hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! and now --again! --hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!

I really hope you decide to stick around.
