Ghost Town Page #3

Still, I suppose

smoking serves a purpose.

- Thins the herd. Weeds out the stupid.

- Are you speaking to me?

Yeah, but I was having a go at them,

not you.

Oh, good.

I picked one that should be

in a straightjacket. My mistake.

Show it some attention,

it follows you home. Unbelievable.

Sorry!

Did he see you, too?

- He can see us!

- Who?

That guy?

Hey, why don't you open your eyes?

Hey!

Hey, mister!

Please, just hold up!

- Idiot. Get out of the road.

- Wait! Hey!

- Listen, I just need two minutes...

- Look out!

...of your time!

You can see me, huh?

And you're not like us.

I know you're not, because back there,

that cab almost hit you!

And he honked at you,

and he yelled at you!

I don't feel well. Why on earth...

Hey!

Officer, there's loony weirdoes.

I don't know why they're here.

I'm a dentist.

- Hey, man, you can see me.

- Oh, good.

Hey, come back here!

I wanna talk to you!

Hey, don't be scared! I'm a cop!

- He can see us?

- Who? That guy?

...from the moment I left the hospital.

- What kind of side effects?

- Hallucinations.

- Okay, visual or aural?

- Both.

And really vivid, really realistic, weird.

I mean, that's not normal.

Well, you know.

What's normal, you know? Really.

Not having hallucinations,

I'd have thought.

Did anything unusual happen

during my procedure?

- Did any...

- Did any what...

- Sorry, but did anything...

- Where?

- Why do you just keep talking while...

- I didn't hear what...

- Why do you keep interrupting me?

- No, well...

- Did anything unusual happen...

- You kind of interrupted me a little bit.

- Just answer the...

- Just.

- Did anything unusual happen?

- Where?

What do you mean, where?

That's not a proper... Yes or no?

Did anything unusual happen

during my procedure?

- Yeah.

- What?

- No.

- You said "yes" first.

"No" is what I ended with.

"Yes, no" means no.

Did anything unusual happen

during my procedure?

- And if so...

- Can you hold on one...

Can you hold on a second?

Yeah, it's me.

Can you stop what you're doing

and come down here right away?

It's that thing that we talked about.

Yeah, well, you told me to call you

if it came back, and it came back, so...

Okay.

What was that? What's the thing?

You told someone the thing came back.

I have a rash on my back.

It came back, so I had to call my doctor.

You... Miss!

- Yes?

- Me!

- What the... What?

- Can you...

- Can I... Yes.

- Follow you?

- To the...

- To my office.

- And then you'll tell me.

- Yeah.

What?

Did anything unusual... What?

Jesus Christ! Sorry, I wasn't...

We have a meeting in a couple minutes,

so we just have to be quick.
