You only have time to . . . run.

FIVE DAYS AGO: a rash of bizarre murders swept the country.

FOUR DAYS AGO: the murders increased tenfold.

THREE DAYS AGO: the President addressed the nation and begged for calm and peace.

TWO DAYS AGO: the killers began to mobilize.

YESTERDAY: all the power went out.

TONIGHT: they’re reading out the names of those to be killed on the Emergency Broadcast System – and they’ve just read yours.
