Horror is present there throughout the story. The suspense is felt by the reader kept very tight till the end of the story. The subject-matter of the story is full of horror and fear. Al and Max were two cruel, hard­hearted killers. They were going to kill, Ole Andreson, simply “to please" one of their friends. For them, human life was so negligible that they were ready to take it without any “serious” motive, just for the sake of pleasure of their friend. <br />We note the activities of the killers, Al and Max, in the restaurant with fear and disgust. They were very rough and rude. They talked and behaved in the stupidest way. They treated George, Nick and Sam, (the staff of Henry's Lunch Room) in the roughest and rudest manner. <br />The suspense of the story becomes clear to us in the end when Nick went to inform Ole Andreson about the killers’ visit to the lunch room. <br />Ole was then altogether indifferent to his own life because of the continuous race he had been running with his expected killers (for saving his life). He had become, so fed up with the grim business that he had then surrendered and resigned to his fate. When we came to know about that, we feel shudder! The killers had' “accomplished” their task even without smearing their hands with the real blood of their prey. This really makes us horrified and we say abruptly that the story is really full of horror and suspense.<br /><br /> </span><br /><p></p>

He had been a heavyweight prize fighter. He was a tall fellow, too tall for his bed. We saw him lying on the bed, with his full clothes on, and with his head on two pillows. <br />We do not know much about him. For example, we do not know why the fillers wished to kill him. We know that they wanted to kill him to please their friend but why the friend wanted to kill him; that is a secret. Near the end of the story, there was a guess put forth by George as to the motive of the murder, but then it was only a guess. George said that he might have "double-crossed” somebody. <br />Ole Andreson listened to the news about the killers told to him by Nick in a very quiet manner. He seemed to be quite uninfluenced by the news although he thanks j Nick for bringing the news to him. He remained lying on I his bed, looking towards the wall. He did not show any emotional response to the news. He was so fed up with his race with the killers that now he had resigned himself to his fate. He had struggled hard to save life. But now he felt that there was no use' escaping death. He was ready to face death at any time. Living all his life very actively, he become totally passive now, it showed that he was not coward.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span>
