Invasión a la tranquilidad

Albert lived in a quiet, solitary apartment, every night before he went to sleep, he read a book, that relaxed him.
The next day he observes that he has new neighbors, they moved upstairs in his apartment, noises are heard, that stunned him a bit but he thought: "they sure fix their things" ...
The new neighbors were two young people who made parties and listened to very loud music; every weekend they began their noisy parties, while Albert tried to concentrate on his reading, although it was almost impossible.
Days later Albert has a bad week of work, he needed tranquility, and he knew that when he got home he would not have it, so he prepared himself.
The neighbors begin their party, Albert knocks on his door, when he opens it without saying anything, he shoots and murders everyone.
The shooting alarmed other neighbors and the police arrive, they enter the apartment of Albert and they see him sitting on his sofa reading a very relaxed book; while in its roof a great red spot was observed that dripped constantly, it was as if the sky was red, raining blood.
