Death and George Miller stand in the silent street square. Time is frozen; cars are halted halfway, dust suspended half a meter in the air.
Death:
Here are the rules. Save three people. Let them live, you get reborn.
George:
Save... three people? You say it so lightly. How do I find them? I don't even know who they are!
Death:
I will give you preliminary information. You won't see the full picture directly. You can only return to one hour before their death.
Death:
In that hour, you can enter their subconscious, dreams, memories... All you get are fragments of information. Real, but incomplete.
George:
Fragments? Then how will I know what to do?
Death:
You piece together the truth. You decide. No one else.
Death:
You have two hours and fifty-six minutes left. Good luck.
George:
Hey! Wait! At least tell me—why did they die? How do I—
Death's voice begins to fade as his form turns into gray smoke.
Death:
You will see for yourself.
The smoke clears, and the world restarts. Cars roar past; time moves forward. Only George Miller remains, clutching the branded, burning countdown, standing before a destiny about to unfold. He does not know if he can save the unknown three, or what kind of journey lies ahead.
