Explanation:
In the passage from "The Black Cat," Edgar Allan Poe claims that he will die tomorrow and he needs to unburden his soul regarding some regular household events that are terrifying to him. He says the event is unbelievable but that he is not crazy. He states there may be someone else who can explain what happened more calmly and concretely so that it might not seem to wild and dream-like as he feels it is.
