Recap:
"I have lived and though my life has not been friendly. I would rather die than be trapped in another long life of uncertainty. I would rather haunt him and tear him down. Then let him have another short span of time with me again." she closed her eyes and before her father could swipe the knife through her, she fell backwards and didn't utter a scream.
I dared not to go see the sight. Dared not look at how painfully she had died. But I did watch the old man drop the knife as he stood at the ledge watching his daughter fall because of him. I did watch his tears fall as though baptizing him. I did watch him and feel a different kind of emotion run through me.
