Opening that door is also the only thing the narrator had to do to look at the old man, he didn’t have to break into the front door first. This can be seen in the short story by multiple facts: the narrator when opening the door of the old man is instantly looking at his bed, meaning that it could be the bedroom of the old man in the house.

This short story couldn’t have taken place during the day. ![]()
