I killed a cursed black cat, and then br Brought another black cat back home. br I sensed its bad foreboding when br In between my feet it would roam. br I tried to kill it, but my wife br Stopped me, so I killed her instead. br She'd been a nagging pain in life. br Sealed her in the cellar wall, dead. br The black cat disappeared, okay. br The police came to make a call. br Screeching cellar sounds led the way. br The black cat on corpse in the wall. br br 'The Black Cat, ' a short tale by Poe.
