16:34luca get the tools luca handed him a small screwdriver father jammed it into the silver band he pried the
16:42ring open the metal shell popped off there was no high-tech sensor inside no magic heat detector

17:33broken from the factory dawn it was never going to light up this one is a toy too it was
17:41broken from the
17:42start father's whole world shattered he finally understood 10 years every time i cried out in
17:48pain the ring turned black not because i lied but because it was always black every time i trembled in

23:20he slammed his head against the ground over and over his forehead split open blood dripped down his face
23:29the pain is this how much it hurt carla he started punishing himself exactly how he used to punish him
23:36he forced himself to eat spoiled rotting food he ate until he threw up then he kept eating he locked
23:42himself in the basement he kept all the lights off in the dark he faced the wall he fell to
23:48his knees

24:02time i swear i'll save you over and over again when the blood dried he cut himself again new words

24:09old words bright red blood over dried black blood deep in the night he looked up the black ring caught
24:15the faint light it shined on the bloody words like my bleeding eyes were staring right back at him
24:20he kept writing he filled the entire wall then he went back to the corner
24:24and started writing it all over again father ended up in an asylum luca found him passed out in the
24:32basement his head was busted open blood everywhere a 104 degree fever don't don't father woke up he
24:41looked at luca and smiled carla came to get me luca put him in a private asylum built by the
24:47family
24:47for our own kind father was their craziest patient he found a black plastic ring somewhere he wore it on
24:54his
24:54finger all the time if anyone tried he bit them like a rabbit dog don't touch my ring
25:01carla 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
25:18even the spalding italian risotto he forced down spoonful by spoonful it had been simmered with
25:23strong liquor so hot it burned his throat raw so spicy it set his stomach on fire he dared not
25:28stop
25:28he dared not spit it out because before i died i had a 104 degree fever kneeling on freezing stones
25:35he was
25:36forcing himself to live my hell over and over again years passed marianne grew up raised by uncle michael
25:42she learned a real mob way lying cheating using people but she wasn't the heir michael had his own
25:49kids she was pushed aside treated like a pawn she hit rock bottom drugs gambling massive debt when she ran
25:58out of cash she remembered her crazy dad she came to the hospital not out of love for money hey
26:07old man
26:09uncle 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
26:30but 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

27:01he 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
27:31couldn'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
27:42was strapped to a bed crying at the ceiling he finally saw me in his dreams i was still 12
27:48years
27:48old wearing a pretty white dress dad he opened his arms crying tears of joy but then he looked
27:56his hands were covered in blood the second he touched me i turned right into ash
28:02the black plastic ring was still there locked tight on his finger
28:08i stood in the empty air i watched it all happen i watched my godfather suffer in the asylum i
28:14watched
28:15marianne begging on the streets with crushed legs i watched uncle michael lose everything and die young
28:19but i didn't feel any joy i didn't feel like i got my revenge i just felt quiet quiet as
28:25dead water an old
28:26dog stood next to me he was my puppy from when i was little father always said dogs were dirty
28:32he said
28:32they ruined the expensive rugs so he had my dog thrown out he was hit by a car on the
28:37street but he
28:37waited for me here for 10 whole years the dog rubbed against my leg he barked twice like he was
28:44saying
28:44let's go stop looking he was right it was time this life was too painful there was nothing left to
28:51stay for
28:52i floated into father's hospital room for one last goodbye he lay on the bed he looked like a skeleton
28:58his hair was pure white he was strapped down so he wouldn't hurt himself that black plastic ring was
29:04still on his finger he seemed to feel something his cloudy eyes stared right into the empty air
29:10carla is that you
29:14his shaking hand reached out grabbing at nothing
29:20i smashed the ring i don't believe it anymore please come back baby i'll cook for you no oh
29:28oysters i'll buy you dresses none for marianne i'll make you the air you'll be the dumb i looked at
29:35the
29:35bloody marks on his ring finger and i let out a soft sigh i reached out i touched his forehead
29:41with my
29:41freezing ghost finger it was my very last act of mercy i just let him sleep because when you sleep
29:47it stops 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
29:59they were rubbings from the basement wall the words i carved over the years layer upon layer
30:04red black and brown the top page had father's own words the doctor said he wrote it during his last
30:10clear moment next life let me wear the ring let me be the liar let me kneel in the basement
30:16let me feel
30:17the pain let me die you can punish me just please don't leave me i will do anything i stared
30:23at
30:23those words i felt nothing at all it was too late dad i don't hate you anymore but i don't
30:30love you either
30:33let's not meet again in the next life i turned around with my old dog a bright door appeared in
30:39the
30:39distance a way out of this nightmare i raised my ghost hand the phantom ring was still there the nightmare
30:45that ruined my entire life i squeezed my hand tight crack the ring shattered into tiny pieces of light
30:51it faded right into the air i felt so light no more black light no more punishment no more lies
30:58just pure freedom i walked into the light i never looked back morning sun filled the hospital room
31:08vito 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
31:19his cheek beside him the heart monitor the wavy line of light turned into a single endless straight line
