The Posthuman Project Page #3

Nothing happened, okay!

I just fell down the

stairs or whatever.

Don't lie to me.

Who did this to you?

Was it ferguson

and his friends?

I swear...

it wasn't anybody, okay?

Hell, you can't be able to do

anything about it anyway, Denny.

God, just take me home.

I'm drifting

out of the space

my mind is misplaced here

I'm racing out of my chest

looking for rest here

Oh, I can't find my way

can't find my place here

and I've lost all my

thoughts lost all mind here

Archie.

Archie.

Archie.

I don't want to talk about it.

I do want to talk about it.

Look, I know things aren't

exactly fantastic right now.

I know that I've messed up,

and I've been bringing

you late to school. Okay?

I'm sorry. I'm trying.

Trying? Great!

That makes two of us.

I'm trying to help

you understand

that I'm getting

killed out there.

Can't you see that?

People at that school

hate me, Denny.

They don't hate you, Archie.

Yeah, they do. A lot.

Those kids.

They hate me because

I'm smarter than them.

People are always gonna be

afraid of intelligence, Archie.

Yeah? Well I guess

it will always

suck to be me then, huh?

Get out...

dude, you've got to

listen to me.

No, I don't!

I don't have to do

anything you say, Denny.

You're not dad.

Dad left. Remember?

That looks familiar.

I used to fight like that

with my brother Kevin.

Your father, Kevin,

I should say.

Hello, boys.

I should introduce myself.

It's been a while since

we've seen each other.

I'm your Uncle William.

Uncle Billy?

That's me.

Now, will you please...

Invite me in?

So, uh, not to be rude

or forward or anything,

but why exactly are you...

am I here?

To celebrate you, of course.

Excuse me?

I received your graduation

invitation in the mail.

And I realized

it had been far too long

since I'd seen this family.

And I've been out of touch.

You know,

I am a man of science.

Well, I didn't know that.

Your father never told

you about my work.

Mom said you were an overseas

entrepreneur or something.

A group of very powerful men

overseas hired me

for my knowledge on a

subject I know very well.

Genetics.

I led a team of scientists

and we discovered some

very interesting things.

Ah. Like what?

Hello, Archie. Feeling better.

Did your father ever

tell you how we used to

fight the other boys

in the streets?

No.

We did.

Kevin! William!

Get your butts in gear!

I'm not taking you out

once It's dark!

Boys!

What is going on up here?

Get up, little girl.

My friends are...

what did I tell you

about locking this door?

Go, go. Go, go.

Boys!

Open this door!

Kevin Archibald Burke!

You get back here right now!

That's it!

I am confiscating all the candy!
