Butterfly Effect: The Creative Process Page #2

down here, we're dead.

So let's go.

I knew Dad had

a blockbuster down here!

Let's blow the sh*t

out of something.

Here you go, buddy.

What? No freaking way.

- I'm not touching this thing.

- The hell you aren't.

Any of us does it and you're gonna

puss out and nark for sure.

Ain't gonna work this time, buddy.

Look how small this fuse is.

- I'll get killed.

- Not necessarily.

There you go.

It should buy you

two minutes at least.

Gee thanks, friend.

Aw, for Christ's sake,

Lenny, you moron, just do it.

- Thanks.

- You got balls, man.

Sh*t took you long enough.

What the hell? Come on!

Evan, come on.

Help me get him up!

Evan, get your arse back here

and help me get him up.

What the hell happened?

Where are we?

Oh my God.

What did we do?

Evan, come on. Help me.

Oh my God, how could we?

- Come on, let's go!

- Sh*t, Lenny, what happened to you?

He's fine.

He's gonna be okay.

Everything's gonna be fine.

What's wrong with him?

Why isn't he speaking?

He's in shock, ma'am.

What is it?

What happened?

We were just in the woods

building a fort

when Lenny freaked out.

One minute he was okay,

and then he just froze up.

Right, guys?

What happened, Evan?

The truth.

I don't know.

I don't remember.

Something must have happened.

Something set him off.

I blacked it out.

Don't try to use your blackouts

to get out of this one.

You're not making it up?

Breathe in and breathe out.

And relax.

You are completely asleep.

Relaxed.

I want you to take me

to the time

you were in the woods

with Lenny.

Think of it like a movie.

You can pause, rewind,

or slow down

any details you wish.

Understand?

Yes.

Where are you now?

I'm standing next to Kayleigh.

My hands are over her ears.

Are you hurting her?

No, I'm protecting her.

Okay.

Now let's move forward in time.

What do you see?

I see a car.

Yes, Evan,

tell me about the car.

Go on.

Nothing can hurt you.

Remember, it's only a movie.

You are completely safe.

I can't...

The car vanishes

and all of a sudden

I'm on the ground

in the woods.

The car doesn't vanish, Evan.

The movie in your head

is broken, that's all.

Now tell me about the car.

I can't!

It's coming...

Fight it, Evan, hurry.

It's coming!

- Oh my God!

- On the count of 10,

- you'll wake up feeling refreshed...

- What are you doing?

...and remembering everything

that we talked about.

What is happening?

Make it stop!

One, you're feeling awake. Two,

your eyes are not feeling as heavy.

- Five, six.

- Wake up!

- Come on, Evan, wake up! Nine, 10.

- Wake up!

Oh God.

What happened?

Did it work?

Alright, thanks, Mum.

See you later.

Wipe that sad-arse look

off your face
