The Past, That Still Haunts Me Today

Hello. My name is Montresor, and I murdered Fortunato. I have moved far away to get away from the whole "trial" of his death. Not long ago, I was remembering my past and all of the decisions I have made. I felt a painful guilt in my stomach that made me really regret what I had done. After I left that night, I can't imagine how Fortunato's family felt when he was no where to be found. I couldn't hide this terrifying secret inside for much longer, and I couldn't live with the guilt. My heart ached when I could only imagine what his wife felt, and I couldn't live with myself. I knew he was going to die, and I still can't believe that I did such a thing, to another human just like me. 

There was a reason to his death. He insulted my family and I. He was drunk, and he said that there were problems with my family and they should not be in the place they were back then. At the moment, I was infuriated. I was yelling, banging, and breaking anything in my path. Oh, I knew what I had to do. It was the only thing to do. My wife was worried about me. She thought I was going insane. Ha, I know I am not insane, but at the very moment I went crazy. Even though he was intoxicated, saying things like that is never "alright." I couldn't stand Fortunato after this horrible event. He didn't even remember what he had said in the following day, week, and month. When the carnival came, I knew it was my only chance to get back at him for what he has done. 

A couple nights before the carnival, I was debating what I should do to Fortunato. All I knew was that I had to make sure he had no way of saying anything to anyone. So the only way to do that was to make sure he was gone, for good. When we were in the catacombs, I knew that I couldn't let him leave. When I strapped him to the wall, I noticed the bricks while I was working. When I saw them, my mind had a light bulb. I zoned out, and started to build the wall around him. I didn't know what I was doing at the moment, and I knew that when I was done, that there was no going back at that point. I still am regretting my decisions today. I wish that I chose a different way to get my revenge but it is obviously too late. I thought that my plan was genius, making sure the servants were not present, having him drunk, and the perfect night to do my job. 

Yes, I do regret the mistake I had made. Although, Fortunato got what he deserved. No matter who is or was, he had no right to disrespect me and my family in such a way.
