He looks at her and says in a shaky voice, that was almost a breath, “eyes, it was the eyes. They are boring into my soul” Now he was starting to scare his daughters. “Daddy, your scaring me!!!” said Samantha, he can’t even bare to look at them anymore. “I’ll just watch some TV that will calm me down, yeah that will work.” He turns on the TV, but it is anything but relaxing. On the news he swore he had saw those eyes staring back at him, but his wife said there was nothing there. He must be hallucinating. “What I need is some sleep that is all” he says. He goes upstairs and tries to sleep, but he kept getting woken up by a recurring nightmare. It is always the same, it is the eyes. The next day he woke up and he was extremely paranoid. That day George went to work and there was something very off about him. “Guess what? You get to change the IV again today, she seems to like you” says Frank. George looks at him and says, “I can’t stand being around her!” George decides there is only one solution. He goes into a room where they store toxic chemicals and strikes a match. The place goes up in flames. (That should get rid of her) George thinks. He walks calmly out of the room, and out the door, right as the building goes up in smoke. He goes home and is finally able to relax. He eats dinner with his family, and then after the girls are asleep he turns on the news and sees something that catches his eye. On the news the reporter announces “….thankfully none of the employees or experiments were seriously hurt, on a side note a little girl known only as subject forty two, has escaped. She was last seen rambling about going to find a George Finch….” George all of a sudden starts laughing uncontrollably, his wife here’s this and is extremely disturbed by his laughter, “what’s going on honey” she says. “Those eyes, they are on the TV” he says. “What eyes?” his wife says. She obviously has to see it. Once you see it, it will curse you. (I know! I will put my wife out of her misery so she doesn’t have to endure the torment) he walks out into the kitchen and grabs a knife. “I love you honey” he whispers ever so lightly, and then slits her throat. He then goes upstairs and grabs the girls and takes them into the back yard. (I have to kill myself, and it would be more humane for my kids to die with me then to live as orphans) he pulls out a machete and cuts their heads off, then right as he tries to kill himself the girl from the lab approached, and the man was paralyzed with fear. He drops the machete. The girl talks to him for the first time, “my eyes terrify you so….” She starts then pulls out a steel pen and gouges out her eyes.

The next morning the police arrive and find the two people standing in the back yard with the girl’s decapitated bodies. They are both deemed insane and taken to a mental hospital. Ironically George Finch now has to spend the rest of his natural life in a mental hospital in the same cell as the little girl who drove him insane.

The end?
