Previously on Objecto...
I picked it up, and it read:
"I have much compassion and understanding as a man, but I can no longer bear it.
Even I will rather burn in hell, than go through what I have with this.
You don't notice it yet, but I have left it in your own possession.
It begins...tonight.
I'm sorry."
How could there be nothing in this box?
Gerderk: "How about you get blamed for MURDERING your own mother?"
Gerderk: "This oughta teach you a lesson! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Suddenly I began to feel dizzy and that is when I fell over.
???: "Call me Daelia."
Daelia: "The box was empty, but I was the charm that came along with it. I come with the box. As a result you are going to be having nightmares. You have a significant power as well. Each day, you are required to kill a person. If you don't, those closest to you are going to die. But, suicide is such an easy way out. You are now immortal. The explosion was a part of the ritual of giving the object to you. The object is giving you these powers, you hold great responsibility. All I can do, is sit here and watch."
Robert: "Yes, well uh, Chris there's something you should know. I am not a counselor, I am a psychiatrist, I thought Hallie would have told you."
Robert: "Don't hide anything from me. You will NOT be treated correctly, if you do."
That's what he wants me to think.
Chris: "I have nothing to hide Robert, I am telling you everything I can at this point. I need some more time to heal."
Suddenly my world stopped. And Daelia appeared before me.
Daelia: "Chris, you have to kill someone today. You don't want me to do it for you...that wouldn't be good."
Daelia: "Chris, you're going to kill someone. Or...Hallie is going to die."

If pain goes either way, what happens if neither way happens?

Without a cell moving in my body, Daelia disappeared, and I was proceeding the way I was.
Insanity, was I experiencing it?
Trial and error, has only proved the same error.
I was going to have to make a decision today.
I drove home.
I went to the door.
I walked in.
And there was Hallie.
Hallie: "Chris?"
Chris: "Hallie?"
Why is she here?
Hallie: "Chris, what day is it?"
Oh wow. What day is it?
Chris: "I don't know..."
Hallie: "It's Sunday. You stood me up."
Chris: "I'm sorry, Hallie I have a lot going on."
Hallie: "Chris, it's okay. I understand, in fact I kind of expected it...it's the usual."
Chris: "I'm sorry Hallie."
Suddenly, she grabbed me and held me tight.
This is when it snapped, perhaps I really was going to have to kill someone tonight.
Would I kill someone? For...Hallie?
But Hallie was only a nurse I've seen twice and have asked out.
Somehow I felt some kind of connection to Hallie, that I couldn't shake out of my head.
Chris: "Hallie, be careful tonight. Be VERY careful tonight."
Hallie: "I'm leaving Chris."
How did she even get in?
I decided to go to sleep that night.
But...I couldn't.
For hours, I paced.
And...paced.
And...paced.
It was 11:30 PM, that's when I decided I was either crazy or Daelia was a stalker who was on a drug.
But, I knew...Daelia was a being that was not human. I knew it down to the last beat in my heart.
Murder is not my resort.
I am not murdering anyone.
That's crazy.
I woke up, and it was the next day. I had wondered if Hallie was...still alive.
I was also wondering if Daelia, actually existed.
Reporter: "Today in the news, a woman has been massacerred by a man with red hair, described as slender and average. He was last seen wearing dress clothes."
I shivered.
I went to the phone and decided to go call Hallie, to make sure...
*Dials*
Chris (whispers): "Please pick up..."
*Someone picks up the phone*
Chris: "Hello?"
Phone: ".............."
