Minutes Past Midnight Page #2

Twenty maybe thirty years'.

I was just a buy when I left this place...

Abandoned this plate.

I swore then that I would never return.

And yet here I am

to pay my final respects.

And, God willing, to extinguish the curse

that has haunted my family for generations.

But how?

How did it find me after

all this time?

It was three days ago that the

stranger appeared at my door.

A representative for my father! estate.

I'm afraid he's gone missing,

my boy'

Thus, the family estate at Calder's End,

fell to me.

And with it...

an ancient box...

that had been unearthed on

these lands by my grandfather.

And handed down for generations.

I knew then...

That neither I, nor my son,

nor the children of my son,

would ever be freed from

this accursed place

Not until the evil that resides in that

mill is finally destroyed.

These were prosperous lands once.

Those days would fade into memory.

Good, God-fearing souls do

not travel here anymore.

[sigh]

The Grimshaw family crest.

My father. Night after

sleepless night.

He would take his place by the hearth,

and stare at the contents of the box,

Just as His Father had

done before him'

An ancient parchment

I understood it to be a

contract of obligations

Dark obligations, scrawled in some

arcane script.

Which had bound our ancestors to

Calder's End for generations.

And had finally driven them

all to madness.

'Time renders memories into little

more than half-remembered dreams.

But I will never forget the mill

[board creaking]

I'm not alone in this wretched place

WHISPERING VOICE: I call upon the spirits

of shadow and sorrow.

WHISPERING VOICE: Here my plea.

WHISPERING VOICE: Bind this one's

soul to these lands.

I know those eyes. My father

FATHER!

God knows where these tunnels lead.

How could one person have done

all of this on their own?

It's as if I've breached the

Gates of Hell.

What sort of madness is this?

Local villagers...

Poor souls.

They too must have been

lured by the Siren's call.

Whatever lurks in these catacombs?

I feel you... yet still I hear you.

FATHER!

WHISPERING VOICE: Yesss...

WHISPERING VOICE: Yesss...

WHISPERING VOICE: Take your reward.

WHISPERING VOICE: I am here.

Set me free, my love,

Nothing nothing

I was promised riches.

Your father has served me well

As will you AND YOUR SON!

FATHER!

[neck snapping]

NO!

Run you fool!

There is no escape.

I summon the Great Beast!

[GROWLING]

You are mine, Grimshaw!

Like your father, and your son will be!

Why do you resist?

We are bound to this

place, you and I!

[screams of pain]

But can one ever truly defeat evil?

Or, is evil something that merely

lay dormant for a time?

Waiting to be rekindled, and burn anew

Hello world, my name is Sammy Jenkins.

When I dripped out of my mama's cooter,

the OBGYN didn't slap me,

because the world slapped first.

She died giving birth, and it

was all downhill from there.

My life was a joke,

my job was a joke,

my bank account was a joke,

but all that was about to change.

And there wasn't a soul on this earth

who could've prepared

themselves for the retribution.

Jenkins... Munroe.

I'm guessing this is the reason

we missed breakfast.

Another dead hooker, face torn

to sh*t just like the others.

Christ it's like peeling apart a

grilled cheese sandwich'

Yeah and she smells like hot garbage.

I can't tell if it's her filthy snatch

or the fact that she's been baking

in this oven for the past three days,

Out partying last night Munroe?

F*** you.

So we have a serial killer

on our hands here boss?

Either that or a skull f***ing maniac

with flesh eating semen.

Let's go scope out the bathroom.

Oh Jesus Christ.

F***ing filthy in here.

Mother f***er, look what I found

Hemorrhoid cream, I'll be damned.

This ain't a coincidence boss.

This is the second bottle we found

atone of these crime scenes.

My old man uses Correctum.

This is prescription grade sh*t,

you can't just buy this over the counter.

You know what this means;

we have our first lead.

Get on the phone and call

every ass doctor in town.

Useless sh*t.

[phone ringing]

Hello...

Doc, it's me, Sammy.

Hey there Samster!

Look, I've plowed through the

ointment. It's just not helping'

I think I might have to let you take

a peek inside my bum after all'

WE HAVE A LEAK IN SECTOR 9,

ALL SERVICEMEN REPOR Why don't you swing by

the office this afternoon.

I'll poke around the old fart box and

figure out what's causing this mess.

Ok, whatever.

Whoever this a**hole is, he's extremely

clever about choosing his victims.

Who'd have thought we'd have

a modern day Jack the Ripper

in our own f***ing town.

Talk to me.

Boss we have a proctologist

who just denied

two rookies from entering his office.

Jackpot.

Lets move.

Hey a**holes, are you gonna pay for that!?

What are you gonna do?

Call the cops?

Pricks!

So... Doc... is your

office usually this empty?

Well, no Sammy.

I just like to clear the place

out {or special cases

I think it's quite comfortable

this way, don't you agree?

I suppose so.

So the Correctum isn't relieving

you of all your troubles?

It's just not cutting it anymore Doc.

Oh isn't that a shame.

GOODNESS!

We are in bad shape aren't we?

I think I'm gonna have to put

on a f***ing miner's helmet,

to help me explore all the nooks and

crannies of this dark, deep tunnel.

Any recent strenuous

activity back there?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Now you may feel some pressure.

This chocolate sauce'll blow your mind.

You really wanna blow your mind?

Check our this grundle hair

they recovered at the scene.

How'd you get your hands on this?

Look at our f***in outfits. We got

the same sh*t as forensics'

I slipped right past the feds.

Jesus Christ.

I haven't seen anything like

this since Chernobyl.

It's happened again hasn't it.

Nature didn't create this, we did.

Now we gotta f***in' deal with it.

That's a good boy.

[knocking]

What the f***?

We know you're in there doc,

open the f*** up,

What's going on?

Just be quiet Sammy.

Hey open up in there!

[louder knocking]

- Hush little baby don't say a word...

- Please make it stop.

Somebody help me!

- Papa's gonna buy you a...

- Please somebody help meee...

[crunch monster bite]

What the f*** is going on in there!?

Oh thank you Jesus.

Let us in you sick f***!

On three... one... two...

Party's over doc, put your

hands behind your head.

Check this out. Hey buddy

you alright there?

Boss, no!

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

This isn't my fault.

This is all your fault you f***ing freak.

You're nothing but a filthy ass demon

and it's time I sent you back to hell.

This isn't over you f***ing monster!

Hey big daddy, you like to get

your a**hole eaten out?

You have no idea.

What is this place?

This is the place I take my clients.

[screaming]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

They're coming after you Sammy.

Who's coming after me?

Everyone.
