Everybody has read a horror story before at some point, but a story from Alfred
             Hitchcock is different because at the end he leaves the reader thinking what has
             happened. In "The Knife" he uses Plot, Setting, and Conflict to do just this.
             Edward Dawes and Herbert Smithers are just two friends having a drink with each
             other, but one of them has a knife that was found in a nearby sewer drain. Herbert is
             cleaning it widly as if he was possesed. Then a red ruby appears on the knife when he is
             done cleaning it, now the madness breaksout like a terrible plague..
             While Herbert is admiring the knife, the maid walks in and asks to see the knife,

             wicked knife. While he is cleaning it, it slips out of his hand and cuts his arm, then his
             wife walks in and trys to help him, then Edward goes bezerk just like his friend Herbert
             and for no reason stabbs her in her chest.
             The falling action and conclusion get a little weird because the police get to the
             scene, and they start discussing about this, but the sergeant remembers a murder on the
             same street a while back, and the person that was
