Tell Me How I Die Page #5

Well I went in the dorm first.

I'll do it.

I don't think you have to worry.

Wait.

Why doesn't he have to worry?

When you saw me.

How do I?

You drown.

What?

How could I drown?

I just know what I saw.

What about me?

You die in a hallway.

Hallway?

This place is

nothing but hallways.

I'm gonna find the damn shelter.

A**hole, open the door.

Open the door or I'm

gonna beat your ass!

Just stop being a dick

and open the damn door!

No.

At least help us figure

out what we're up against.

Tell us about paskell.

Should have seen that coming.

My partner and

I had been testing

memory formula for many years.

But, paskell was

the first who had

visions as a side effect.

And not just visions,

but his actual future.

His foresight.

So you gave him

more, didn't you?

It was very promising.

We continued experimenting

as we modified it.

Yes of course.

And?

We discovered the

effects are cumulative.

He had a psychotic

break and began

experiencing

visions of violence.

So you stopped dosing him?

Yes, but, the visions continued.

His brain somehow began

producing the effects.

Much like an addicts

produce an opiate response.

And he stopped experiencing

time as linear.

Past, present, future,

it all existed simultaneously.

It drove him mad, he

had to be committed.

And that didn't stop you from

putting that stuff into us?

Every worthwhile

discovery has risk.

The goal is to make that risk,

in this case, side

effects, reasonable.

Yeah, yeah, very reasonable.

So side effects may

include hallucinations,

psychosis, killing

everyone you've ever met.

Hey, but at least there's

no anal leakage right?

Not in this version no.

I wanna kill this guy!

Remember this?

He's not after us is he?

He's just using

us to try to force

you to kill yourself.

It would seem so.

My partner died last night.

Probably trying to

save his family.

And yet you're hiding

out in a bomb shelter

leaving us to die.

You're not my family.

Has it not occurred

to you that paskell

might know you'd

hide out in here?

Well yes of course,

but there aren't many

options are there?

I'll take my chances in here.

You bastard!

This is your problem not ours!

I'm in here and

you're out there.

So, actually this is

very much your problem.

See the future.

See the future.

This stupid drug

doesn't even work.

Okay, okay.

You know what I

don't understand?

Why paskell doesn't

just kill that guy?

Yeah, why doesn't

he just walk up

and shoot him in the face?

I don't know.

Maybe it's like Anna.

He sees things that

are gonna happen

but he doesn't control them.

How 'bout it a**hole?

Does he control the visions

or do they control him?

It's impossible to say.

What if somebody

were to kill him?

Would his visions still

come true after he's dead?

That's an excellent question.

So I'm thinking

we just stay here.

Arm up the best we can

and make our stand.

Look, at least we'll

see him coming.

And there's no water down here.

Why'd you come back?

What do you mean?

Marcus said you were outside.

Why'd you come back for me?

You hardly know me.

I mean we came

back for everyone.

But, I'd like to know you Anna.

Well that can't happen.

Not anymore, not

after that a**hole

sentenced us to die.

No, don't give up.

Whatever happens

we can't give up.

Why not?

We're just prolonging

the inevitable.

What are you talking about?

He knows everything.

Remember?

Why would he go through

all of this trouble

just make Jerums commit suicide?

He's getting rid

of the drug den.

Every last trace.

And that includes us.

Not you.

You took a placebo.

You could just hide in a corner,

wait for the Calvary.

He doesn't know that.

Sure he does, she just said it.

He knows everything.

Which is why we

need to do something

that he doesn't expect.

Okay, so I was talking

to dickless over there

and I got an idea.

What if we can get one

step ahead of these visions

and do something that

hasn't been seen yet?

Well that's a big if.

I mean we don't know

what his visions are.

Or where he is.

I know but, think about it.

She told us how she saw us die.

So, what if,

she didn't see it,

would it still happen?

Are we talking

about paskell or Anna?

I'm not saying we hurt her,

we just, we tie her up.

It's practically

self defense man.

Step back now.

Relax, just relax.

It's just an idea.

We're figuring stuff out.

Figure something else.

Yeah.

Look around, see if

there's any way out!

No, is it happening now?

Is it my turn now?

Hey come on man, come on.

Please let us in.

We won't tell the cops

that you saved us!

You'll be a hero!

Come on!

You guys there's

another door over here!

Come on!

He's gonna kill

me now isn't he?!

I don't know

Marcus, I don't know!

Marcus help me!

Did you see that coming?!

Marcus!

Marcus no.

No!

Marcus!

Marcus!

No, no, no, no.

Is he?

Yeah.

Where's paskell, why

would he just leave?

He never meant to come down.

He knew he didn't need to.

He knew.

There's no way.

No, no, no, listen to me.

You cannot give up.

There has to be something.

What, some way to

change the future?

What if Marcus was right?

I should kill you?!

No, no, no, no, I mean,

if we are nowhere

near each other

how can I see you die?

And if I can't see you die...

will it still happen?

No, no it's too dangerous

being trapped inside like this.

Den.

Anna, even if it

means I'm going to die,

I'm not leaving you in

here alone with him.

It can't be that simple.

What?

Come on, we're

getting out of here.

Not more stairs.

Come on!

Here, here.

No, no, are you crazy?!

This is way too

high, we cannot jump.

Maybe, come on.

Look at that snow drift.

It's deep Anna, we can make it.

Come on.

I can't do this.

Anna, look at me.

We jump on three.

One, two, three.

What are you doing?!

You said you wouldn't

leave me alone!

I said I wouldn't

leave you alone in here!

My keys are in the jacket!

Go get help!

Den, den!

My god I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, my god.

Okay.

What did you do?

What are you waiting for?!

You already know

where I'm going.

That makes one of us.

Son of a b*tch.

Paskell!

I was wrong.

Hey!

I saw Kristen dead

in the bathroom

but I just found her outside.

These visions don't

always come true do they?

Did you tell the

others how they died?

Everyone except Kristen.

This isn't fate is it?

It's more like a

self-fulfilling prophecy.

Well, certainly by telling them

you influence their behavior.

And therefore the outcome.

And what about paskell?

Do his visions always come true?

It's hard to say.

He sees so much.

Because the drug

is cumulative right?

And he's had a lot.

He has.

What are you looking for?

That's not your drug you use.

That's the property

of this facility.

Stop and listen to me,

the dosage is too high.

You won't be able to

control your visions.

Remind me to tell

you how you die.

Paskell!

Let's get this over with.
