The Posthuman Project Page #4

Synopsis: Denny Burke is finally about to graduate high school. Senior year has been one bad thing after another: a broken leg, a broken heart, and - worst of all - a broken home. With four of his closest friends, Denny goes on one last rock-climbing trip to prove he's ready to start his adult life... On their trip the five teens receive a genetic boost beyond anything they'd ever imagined. Denny's soon faced with the first big decision of his adult life: does he give up these powers and stay a normal teenager, or does he keep them... and graduate from the human race?

I really don't want

dad to be mad at us.

If he gets mad at any one,

he'll just get mad at me.

Then when he gets mad at you...

Billy, Billy,

leave the old man to me.

I'll take care of it.

You know I always do.

Okay?

Okay.

Kevin and I were...

Lots of good memories here.

You said you

discovered something?

I don't want to lose you

on the science, young man.

Well, I mean,

Archie can handle it.

His IQ is 125.

Ah 129.

Some other time perhaps.

So I was saying Dennis, I...

It's Denny. It's Denny now.

I haven't been Dennis

since the 4th grade.

All right then, Denny.

I'm here because

I was going to give you

your graduation gift,

but, however, I'm not sure

It's appropriate now given...

No, I-I understand.

It's a shame.

Arrangements have

already been made.

I used my overseas earnings

to purchase a large property

just outside of the barrows.

There's a Mountain out there

that I hear is quite

the thrill to climb.

You bought mount Dominic?

Few times I talked

to your father

he was very proud of your

climbing achievements.

And I was going

to invite you out

to climb mount Dominic

this weekend.

We'll be there in the morning.

Denny!

We'll be there in the morning.

Me and my friends.

Your friends, too?

Very well. If you insist.

Graduate.

I'll meet you up there

tomorrow evening

for a little

post-climb celebration.

Thank you, Uncle Billy.

Thank you.

Sometimes you need your family

to help lift you up.

And I can't think of a better

way for you to celebrate

this phase of your life

than by proving to the world

your scars have healed.

Takes a lot of strength

to withstand

ignorance and jealousy.

Perhaps someday your

physical attributes

will match your mental ones.

I wish.

Keep working hard,

and sometimes wishes come true.

What are you doing?

I'm texting Adam.

He's got the gear.

And If we're gonna climb

tomorrow we're gonna need it.

I'm still mad at you,

by the way.

I found a rock in my life

built in our love

and found out It's a lie

no part of me must die

and on this rock

I must climb

I found a hole in my soul

played altogether

and found out I ain't whole

I'm back to the start

on knees, operation calls

Lisa? Have you lost

your freaking mind?

What?

Adam Says you're climbing

mount Dominic tomorrow.

Oh, yeah.

"Oh, yeah?"

Are you kidding me, Burke?

You can barely stand as it is.

I've been in

physical therapy for months.

My... my therapist cleared me.

I'm okay.

So instead of the one

in four chance

you fall to your death,

It's all on the one in nine now?

Congratulations, Denny.

Whatever, Lisa.

I'm going with you.

What?

If you're determined

to hurt yourself,
