In the Year 2889 Page #5

---

Steve - put your revolver under my pillow. You won't need it.

If there's no other way, use that Luger on Joanna.

Joanna!

Now! That's better, Cap'n.

If there's two men and only one gun, I like to have it.

Looks like your ship's falling apart, don't it?

Well, you've been no help.

You wouldn't find Jada.

You wouldn't help Steve look for Joanna. Oh, you're lower than scum.

I'm a coward.

I only fight when I have to. And on my own conditions.

And one of 'em is that I know what I'm fighting.

Joanna!

"3 little 2 little 1 little Indian..." You know, you're a sucker.

I know you went after ol' Tim, into that fog.

Killed yourself for that worthless old coot.

So, that's why you're acting so brave.

- That's why you're moving in.

- Moving in?

I'm taking over.

The works, the house. Your daughter.

If she gets back.

I'd make a better old man for her kids than Steve would. They'd be tough, like me.

Looks like it will rain after all.

Still think that rain will kill us all?

You'll know soon enough.

Joanna!

Here, Steve! Over here!

The water! It's afraid of the water!

Well, there's your rain, Cap'n! But good!

How long do you think we'll live now?

Well, here. Get me a sample of the rainwater and I'll test it.

Why, it doesn't register!

That's pure water!

Well, what do you know.

Just plain old rainwater!

That's it!

Water! It's afraid of water!

Joanna and Steve may be safe!

What's afraid, Cap'n?

- You crackin' up on me?

- Don't you see, you idiot?

That thing out there, that atomic fiend. It's afraid of pure water.

That's why it wouldn't go in the pool!

What are you thinking in that sick mind of yours?

Simple.

I'm gonna shoot Steve, right between the eyes.

In God's name, why?

Well, I thought you knew, smart man.

I want Joanna.

I don't hear it anymore.

Hear what?

The weird sound.

It tried to speak to me.

Steve?

It was Larry. What killed him?

He was created to live in a contaminated atmosphere.

Guess the rain must be pure.

He couldn't stand it.

I guess that means that all the other people like Larry will be killed by the rain, too.

Then there is a future.

Yes, Joanna.

Mickey!
