Minutes Past Midnight Page #2

Did you just kill that man?

Uh... not as such

I mean... okay, yes.

And that was wrong. Completely wrong.

But I nearly stopped myself

because of how I feel about you,

And isn't that the main thing to

focus on here?

Oh, yes. Absolutely. Of course.

Let's focus on that.

I mean ifs not like there's anything

else to focus un, like...

My boyfriend just killing someone!

You stabbed him to death!

Wait... I'm your boyfriend?

I left her loads of voicemails,

explaining what happened.

I didn't want to kill people anymore,

thanks to her.

She was the one good thing in this

world, and I'd lost her.

Lost everything.

[message beep]

Charlie... it's me.

I think I understand

what you went through.

Whatever happens, I love you.

And nothing can change that.

We'll just need to get you some help.

Come over and we'll talk about it.

[knocking]

Charlie!

OH, it's good to see you.

Come on in.

Charlie? Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Can I have a glass of water, please?

Sure. um...

[satisfied gasp]

Feeling better?

So... you like polka dots, then?

Yes! Who doesn't love polka dots!

Did you mean what you said?

When you promised that you'd love me

no matter what I did...

Did you mean what you said?

Of course. Why?

I am so sorry...

I hope you understand.

[stab sound and woman's scream]

They say that you always hurt

the ones you love,

But then again...

They also say that ignorance is bliss.

Why cant' they just kill people

without doing all this weird sh*t?

Be better if they didn't kill people at

all, though, really.

Calder's End. How long has it been?

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,
