00:51father just stroked her hair my little angel a true corleone but me just saying good night outside

16:38screwdriver father jammed it into the silver band he pried the ring open the metal shell popped off
16:45there was no high-tech sensor inside no magic heat detector just a cheap green led bulb and several
16:52button batteries the circuit board was fixed as long as it was powered on it only lighted up green
16:59what is this dodd that's i said what is this it's a cheap toy sir it's not a real lie
17:08detector father

17:23up my black ring he took the screwdriver tried it open inside was the exact same led bulb the exact
17:30same button batteries but the tiny bulb was dead broken from the factory don it was never going to
17:37light up this one is a toy too it was broken from the start father's whole world shattered he finally
17:44understood 10 years every time i cried out in pain the ring turned black not because i lied but because
17:51it

23:12knees
23:13i'm sorry i'm so sorry dad was wrong just take one bite please just one but he slammed his head
23:21against the ground over and over his forehead split open blood dripped down his face
23:28the pain is this how much it hurt carla he started punishing himself exactly
23:34how he used to punish him he forced himself to eat spoiled rotting food he ate until he threw up
23:40then he kept eating he locked himself in the basement he kept all the lights off in the dark
23:46he faced the wall he fell to his knees he found a rusty nail he sliced his own fingers open
23:52he used
23:52his blood to write on the wall i'm sorry dad was wrong black means pain black means love please come
23:59back just tell me it hurts one more time i swear i'll save you over and over again when the
24:05blood
24:06dried he cut himself again new words over old words bright red blood over dried black blood deep in
24:12the night he looked up the black ring caught the faint light it shined on the bloody words like my
24:17bleeding eyes were staring right back at him he kept writing he filled the entire wall then he went back
24:23to the corner and started writing it all over again father ended up in an asylum luca found him passed
24:31out in the basement his head was busted open blood everywhere a 104 degree fever don't don't father
24:40woke up he looked at luca and smiled carla came to get me luca put him in a private asylum
24:46built by the
24:47family for our own kind father was their craziest patient he found a black plastic ring somewhere
24:52he wore it on his finger all the time if anyone tried to he bit them like a rabbit dog
24:58don't touch
24:59my ring carla is watching she'll be mad he developed a terrifying reflex veto did you eat father would
25:08touch his plastic ring black it's black don't punish me i'll eat i'll eat even the scalding italian
25:19risotto he forced down spoonful by spoonful it had been simmered with strong liquor so hot it burned his
25:24throat raw so spicy it set his stomach on fire he dared not stop he dared not spit it out
25:30because
25:30before i died i had a 104 degree fever kneeling on freezing stones he was forcing himself to live my
25:36hell over and over again years passed marianne grew up raised by uncle michael she learned a real mob
25:43lying cheating using people but she wasn't the heir michael had his own kids she was pushed aside
25:51treated like a pawn she hit rock bottom drugs gambling massive debt when she ran out of cash
25:58she remembered her crazy dad she came to the hospital not out of love for money
26:06hey old man uncle michael died you get a cut give me your power of attorney i'll sign for you
26:16she was 20 but she looked 40. she looked at his pathetic state and spit on the floor
26:22you're disgusting just like your dead daughter she ruined everything for us even after she died
26:29but he heard that he slowly looked up his cloudy eyes suddenly went clear just for a second he
26:36remembered the toy ring the fake green light that fooled him for 10 years it was you you lied to
26:42me
26:42the fake green light you killed carla she was just stupid couldn't act couldn't pretend give me my carla

27:00he lunged at her his giant hands lock right around her throat die you die it should have been you
27:08she fought
27:09hard help
27:15nurses rushed in they jammed a sedative needle into his arm they barely pulled him off her terrified
27:21marianne ran for her life crazy you're all crazy right into the street a speeding delivery truck
27:30couldn't stop in time it sent her flying through the air she didn't die but her legs were completely
27:36crushed she would spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair totally useless back inside father was
27:42strapped to a bed crying at the ceiling he finally saw me in his dreams i was still 12 years
27:47old wearing
27:48a pretty white dress dad he opened his arms crying tears of joy but then he looked down his hands
27:56were
27:57covered in blood the second he touched me i turned right into ash the black plastic ring was still
28:04there locked tight on his finger i stood in the empty air i watched it all happen i watched my
28:12godfather suffer in the asylum i watched marianne begging on the streets with crushed legs i watched
28:17uncle michael lose everything and die young but i didn't feel any joy i didn't feel like i got my
28:22revenge
28:22i just felt quiet quiet as dead water an old dog stood next to me he was my puppy from
28:28when i was
28:29little father always said dogs were dirty he said they ruined the expensive rugs so he had my dog thrown
28:34out he was hit by a car on the street but he waited for me here for 10 whole years
28:39the dog rubbed against
28:41my leg he barked twice like he was saying let's go stop looking he was right it was time this
28:48life was
28:49too painful there was nothing left to stay for i floated into father's hospital room for one last
28:55goodbye he lay on the bed he looked like a skeleton his hair was pure white he was strapped down
29:01so he
29:01wouldn't hurt himself that black plastic ring was still on his finger he seemed to feel something
29:06his cloudy eyes stared right into the empty air carla is that you
29:14his shaking hand reached out grabbing at nothing
29:19i smashed the ring i don't believe it anymore please come back baby i'll cook for you no oysters
29:28i'll buy you dresses none for marianne i'll make you the air you'll be the dog i looked at the
29:35bloody
29:35marks on his ring finger and i let out a soft sigh i reached out i touched his forehead with
29:40my freezing
29:41ghost finger it was my very last act of mercy i just let him sleep because when you sleep it
29:47stops hurting he went totally quiet his heavy eyelids shut tight he fell into a deep sleep a
29:53soft breeze blew through the room there was a stack of papers on his nightstand luca had sneaked them in
29:58they were rubbings from the basement wall the words i carved over the years layer upon layer red
30:04black and brown the top page had father's own words the doctor said he wrote it during his last
30:09clear moment next life let me wear the ring let me be the liar let me kneel in the basement

30:33let's not meet again in the next life i turned around with my old dog a bright door appeared in
30:38the distance a way out of this nightmare i raised my ghost hand the phantom ring was still there
30:44the nightmare that ruined my entire life i squeezed my hand tight crack the ring shattered into tiny pieces
30:50of light it faded right into the air i felt so light no more black light no more punishment no
30:57more lies
30:58just pure freedom i walked into the light i never looked back morning sun filled the hospital room
31:07veto time for your meds the man on the bed didn't move the nurse walked closer his hand was gripping
31:14the bloody paper rubbing tight the one he traced with his own blood a single clear tear rested on his
31:19cheek beside him the heart monitor the wavy line of life turned into a single endless straight line
