Study of a Murderer
Description
"The study of a man who was determined to finish a murder he never started." "A story based on actual events." A married man loses his job, then confesses to a murder he did not commit. His mental countdown seems to be getting a lot worse.
A married man gets fired from work and then admits to killing someone he never actually murdered. His mind keeps getting more and more confused. This story really happened and was made into a radio show called "Suspense" on October 1, 1951. It follows a man who feels he must complete a murder that he never began.
Suspense is a state of anxiety or excitement caused by mysteriousness, uncertainty, doubt, or undecidedness. In a narrative work, suspense is the audience's excited anticipation about the plot or conflict, particularly as it affects a character for whom the audience feels sympathy. However, suspense is not exclusive to narratives.
