The Last Light Page #4

---

Keep everyone inside and safe.

Dead in here,

dead out there,

still dead, right?

What are we gonna do?

Run out, guns blazing?

I mean, come on,

Jack, it's suicide.

To not accept the fact

that we might be alone.

Well, fine.

All the more reason

to stay in here.

Look, we got food, we got

water, we got electricity.

But you gotta keep

everyone together,

you need to keep everyone inside,

you need to keep everyone

away from the light.

We wanna talk.

About?

Leaving.

The power's still on,

the water's still running,

so we're staying here.

You got it?

Look, help could come any day.

You don't know.

Alright?

So we are not leaving

and that is the end

of the discussion.

Having trouble keeping

things together.

Just keep it together man.

None of it was real.

Every time I go to sleep...

Keep everyone inside.

We're staying here...

keeping things together.

Safe, away, light.

Oh Jesus, Harold.

I know what you've been doin'.

You've been sneaking

out to the east wing.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

I don't even care what's out there.

You're drunk.

Yeah, I'm drunk.

I'm drunk, I'm drunk, and

I'm a f***ing coward.

I watched them just walk away.

They just backed up everything.

I didn't say anything. They...

But I never say anything.

They just walked away.

They just...

I didn't... I... I...

I never say anything.

Harold, let's get you to bed.

I'm tired.

Let's go, buddy.

Let's go to bed, huh?

Thank you, Jack.

You're a good man.

Night, Harold.

Go to the light, Jack.

He can't get you in the light.

It's time, Jack.

None of it is real.

Everyone...

Light.

Hey.

Hey.

I was just going for a walk.

Me too.

Mind if I join you?

No, of course not.

Come on.

Hey, I never got a

chance to tell you

how sorry I was about Jeffrey.

Jeffrey was an a**hole.

We're better off without him.

I thought you two were like...

no, he was just using me.

That's what I do,

I let people use me,

because it makes me

feel good about myself.

And I know it's wrong,

but I don't really care.

It's who I am.

I just really don't want to end

up like Jeffrey and Meryl.

Hey, that's not going

to happen, okay?

So what? We have food for another

year, another ten years,

and then we run out and

we have to leave anyway?

What are we doing?

Help can still come.

What if people are right

about death, you know?

What if there's something after?

You mean, like heaven and hell?

Yeah.

Do you believe in that?

No.

Me neither.

But you know, I'm starting to think

that maybe it's better

to believe in something.

That we all just die

and there's nothing.

Hey, shh shh shh shh.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay, alright?

We're gonna get through this.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

It's just I can't

be alone right now.

Mm-mm.

Okay? Yeah?

'Kay.

What's that?

Jack!

They're in the building, Harold.

We need to get down

to the basement.

We'll barricade ourselves in there,

hold out till help comes.

I have to leave.

Get that bag, get

everything you can.

Anything... food, anything useful.

I'm leaving.

What?

All my life I...

I've never been good at

making decisions for myself,

for my wife, for my son,

for my like, for anything.

But I think I figured out

what those things are.

It's the unknown.

It's everything we've ever feared.

And it won't stop chasing or

looking until it catches us.

And when it does, I don't want to be

hiding in the darkness of a basement.

I want to be outside.

I want to be in the

light so I can see it.

I don't have any fear.

It's gone.

And this is my decision.

Jack.

Jack. Jack.

It's not the red

of the dying sun

the morning sheets

surprising stain

it's not the red

of which we bleed

it's not that red

it's not that red

it's not that red

it's not that red

You're not real.

Hm.

Just as real as you are.

You know why I'm here?

You need to remember, Jack.

You need to remember what

happened to your wife.

What are you talking about?

You've forgotten who

you were, Jack.

You've forgotten what you've done.

You need to remember.

You need to remember who are.

It's the only way

to go to the light.

Ah.

This is on you, Jack.

This is the type of

husband you were.

Selfish, distant,

the other women,

you're fooling yourself.

You need to remember who you were.

This is who you were.

This is who you are.

I didn't do this.

I didn't do this.

This isn't me.

This is a trick.

I didn't do this.

Noah?

Noah.

Noah.

Oh there is day

oh there is night

oh there is light

beyond the dark

time fades away

time draws a line

for we will be together

on the other side

on the other side

body and bones under the stone

leaving the beat of your heart

whether you roam

whether you ride

I know we'll be together

on the other side

on the other side

passing on across the plain

drifting towards the sky

it won't be long

I pray to keep you

on the other side

on the other side

on the other side
