Paul Joseph Standlee: Little Curtis

Quotes 

• [wandering at the alien dimension, Curtis sees strange human-shaped thing covered with layers of alien material, only one eye is visible. Curtis realizes that this is the real Curtis, the one who Paul Warner threw into the alien world twenty years ago - his secret enemy who is responsible to the murders of Bob, Tom, Therese, Dr. Harburg and Trevor, as well as to the hallucinations Curtis has been experiencing recently. As Curtis approaches the thing, its eye opens, staring at him in horror. It yells:] 

  Voice : Don't look at me!

  [the Hecatomb appears] 

  The Hecatomb : Go rot your own pestering brain!

  [bolt of energy emerges from the Hecatomb, hitting Curtis. It makes Curtis experience series of psychotic episodes. The surrounding changes: Curtis finds himself at operating room in Greenwood sanitarium, lying on operating table. Dr. Marek, the sadistic sanitarium manager, stands near him. Curtis lifts his head, but Dr. Marek pushes him back. Dr. Marek picks a scalpel and examines it at the light] 

  Dr. Terrance Marek : Now then... let's see what little mutant boy is made of.

  Curtis Craig : Let me go, please. Please, I haven't done anything!

  Dr. Terrance Marek : Your very existence is abomination.

  [Curtis grabs a syringe from the surgical tray near him and thrusts it into the side of Dr. Marek's head. Dr. Marek recoils, gasping in pain. The surrounding changes again: Curtis finds himself at the Dreaming Tree cafe, sitting with Jocilyn] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : I love you, Curtis... even though you've been cheating on me with Therese. I love you.

  Curtis Craig : Joce...

  [Jocilyn kisses Curtis passionately. She presses a gun under his chin] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : I love you too much to ever let you go.

  [Curtis grabs the gun and pushes it away. The surrounding changes for the third time: Curtis finds himself in a messy room, its floor covered with water puddles and gore, torn piped hang from the ceiling, dripping water and smoke. The dead body of Trevor appears, his neck broken and bloody in the same condition as he died] 

  Trevor Barnes : I was wondering when you plan dragging your lazy ass in here.

  Curtis Craig : Trev?

  [as Trevor advances, Curtis steps back. His foot slips on puddle, and he falls. Next to him, the dead body of Bob comes to life - also in the same condition he was killed, his mouth stapled] 

  Bob Arnold : Before you forget, big boy!

  [Curtis crawls back. From his pocket falls keycard. The dead body of Tom appears and approaches, dragging a sledgehammer] 

  Curtis Craig : [to Bob]  Get away from me!

  Bob Arnold : Come a little closer, ratboy.

  [Bob shows Curtis a bloody letter opener, one of the tools which were used to kill Bob] 

  Bob Arnold : You got something in your eye.

  Curtis Craig : [to Tom]  Tom... Tom, I swear to god, it wasn't my fault. Tom, it wasn't my fault!

  Curtis Craig : [to Trevor]  Trev, please... oh, god. Trev, please don't hurt me.

  Trevor Barnes : Curtis, I only want to kill us.

  [as the three zombies get closer, Curtis grabs the keycard. Rushing to the elevator, he narrowly evades Tom's sledgehammer. The blow bashes Bob's head instead. Curtis passes the keycard at the elevator sensor. Nothing happens. Curtis watches in horror at Trevor and Tom getting closer] 

  Curtis Craig : Shit!

  [Curtis passes the keycard again. The elevator door opens, and he jumps inside. The door closes at the last moment before Tom and Trevor can reach Curtis. The surrounding changes for the fourth time: Curtis finds himself at the Borderline club, strapped by leather cuffs to bed. Therese sits astride on his waist, dressed provocatively in black leather] 

  Therese Banning : [moans in pleasure]  That was hot, baby. That was really, really hot.

  [as Curtis strains to free himself, Therese's body glows and she shoots from her palms bolts of electricity at him. Gasping in pain, Curtis manages to free his right hand, and he pulls a handle. The upper side of the bed rises, Therese loses balance and falls backwards on the floor, writhing in agony. The surrounding changes for the fifth time: Curtis finds himself as little boy at his parents' house, playing with toys at the yard. His lunatic mother comes outside] 

  Marianne Craig : Curtis... come here, Curtis sweetheart. I have something for you.

  [Curtis' insane mother approaches him, holding gardening shears behind her back, murder intent on her mind. Little Curtis stands. Instead of running away, he walks to his mother] 

  Little Curtis : I love you, mom.

  [little Curtis hugs his mother. This gesture of affection calms her down. She lets go of the shears, all murder thoughts disappear from her disturbed mind. Bursting into tears, she gently hugs and kisses her son. The surrounding changes back to the alien world. As Curtis has passed successfully throughout all the psychotic episodes, the Hecatomb is weakened. It still shoots at Curtis, but harmlessly. Its head drops, liquid oozes from its mouth. It fades and disappears as Curtis passes through it harmlessly. Curtis approaches the real Curtis and tears piece of the material covering it, revealing its face - identical to Curtis', staring at him in horror. It tries to hit Curtis, but Curtis easily grabs its wrist, pushing its hand back. Curtis pulls the plug on the real Curtis and walks away]
