Written by:	Boycool

When you die, your life doesn’t flash before your eyes. Time just slows to a crawl. The mind wanders, and that moment is yours. Repent…regret…And either by the grace of God, or the hand of the devil, my moment’s been extended.

  • Six weeks earlier, Chandler first encounters a mysterious figure, Lord Noh, and his apprentice.

Synopsis

Six weeks in the future, Chandler Smithson is sprinting through the suburbs. It is in the middle of a rainy night and pitch black outside. He finds a bicycle chained to a stop sign, rips it from the chains, and starts to ride it.

Four feet are seen running through puddles.

Chandler hits a curb and falls off the bicycle. When one of the men catches up with him, Chandler wields the bicycle as a weapon and whacks the man several yards.

Chandler, carrying the mangled bicycle, runs and climbs up the outside wall of a house. He tosses the bicycle and jumps through the window, just dodging a blast of flames.

Chandler stands in the house, breathing heavily. The bedroom door blasts in. Chandler says, “What do you want with me?” An older man with a metal cane limps in. A tall young man walks in and holds out his hand to use his power. He finds that he is unable to do anything. He yells, “What did you do?!” He angrily pulls out a handgun, aims the gun at Chandler’s head, and hesitates. Then he pulls the trigger!

Chandler’s life flashes before his eyes.

In present day, Chandler walks into a bank…
