How to Fail and Die Trying – Part 9
I’m in a huge mansion with elaborate pools everywhere. A famous TV lawyer is swimming and talking about selling his soul to the devil. A colleague is trying to talk him out of it. Then the water starts swirling and turning into a gigantic dark form. The form becomes the giant body of the devil with a pretty young girl’s face.
Standing on a balcony watching this is a group of mourning family members. My father and I are there, observing. All their daughters are dead because of this somehow. They point to some large wooden form and poke at it with a tool. The inside of the form falls apart like it was eaten out by termites. “They all rotted from the inside” someone says.
I realize this is all my father’s fault. The mob of families lunge for him. He runs from them and gets in his car. I’m in the back seat as a teenager again. He starts driving very fast through the city as if he’s trying to kill himself. I ask to get out. He lets me off and speeds away. There is some voice over narration that explains the connection between all this and a silent menacing space ship that looks like a toad. The toad is hunting my father. I become my father running for my life as the creature gets closer above me. I run into a small refrigerator with glass doors, hoping that I can hide. The monster has a hand that looks very much like that of a robotic skeletal humanoid. I watch the giant toad hand begin to crush the refrigerator around me.
The world goes dark.
