Summary: Samara's father's last thoughts and emotions before he killed himself.

~The Father of a Demon~

I try to get out

She pulls me back in

I think that she's gone

But she always returns . . .

She killed my wife

Now she wants me

Everything was fine

Until that reporter came

Why can't they let me be

Inside my tortured world . . .

Alone . . .

Safe . . .

But forever knowing

That she'll return . . .

And she did

Just as she promised

The visions return

The evil she shows me

Tears away at the string

That is keeping me alive

I no longer wish to live

It's all too hard . . .

Miserable . . .

I gather the electrical cords

And carry them to the bath

I fill the tub with water

Knowing that it'll all be over soon

I hear a noise

I go downstairs to find

That reporter in my house

Staring at her . . .

That demon . . .

That child . . .

I cannot control myself

I strike the reporter

And take the television

Back upstairs

To where I will die

The woman follows me

She screams something about the demon

My daughter . . .

I step into the bathtub

The woman stares

And I give her a warning:

"She never sleeps"

I flip the switch

And my life finally ends

The visions are wiped away

I lay under the water

But I smile . . .

I am free.
