No More Worries
by John Scott
this is your Lucky day!
I think you have the wrong number.
no, mark. you’re just the guy i wanted to talk to.
So who are you?
a friend.
My friends usually have names.
you can call me Lee.
What do you want, Lee?
what if i told you i could change your Life forever?
What are you talking about?
your failing grades, you hate your job, and that cute redhead at the coffee shop won’t give you the time of day.
How did you know about that?
i’m your friend, mark. friends know about each other’s Lives.
You’re a creep.
funny. i think that redhead said the same thing about you.
what if i told you i could fix all of it?
How?
you just have to play a small game. Like a scavenger hunt.
I don’t have time for games. I’ve got class today.
you can miss today. i promise.
the first thing you need to do is check your mailbox.
The mail isn’t here yet. It’s too early.
just check.
Fine.
A coupon for a free breakfast burrito?
at El comida? sounds delicious.
I don’t eat fast food.
you better hurry. you’ve only got until 10:30.
What happens at 10:30?
they stop serving breakfast.
Fine. I’ll go.
I ordered the burrito. Now what?
what does your receipt say?
Huh?
your order number?
12.
ouch. that looked painful.
WTF! WAS THAT YOU!?
the gentleman that spilled his coffee on you? no, but i bet that was hot.
he gave you something, right? what did he give you?
Are you watching me? Do you think this is funny!?
of course not. we’re friends. what did he give you?
A business card for the dry cleaner he works at. He said to tell them he sent me and they’d clean my shirt for free.
well there you go. sounds Like you’d best be off.
Is this all part of your game?
my game? this is our game. it’s your Life we’re changing, isn’t it?
Whatever. Let’s get this over with.
that’s the spirit!
They’re cleaning my shirt.
as they said they would.
What is the point of all this?
i promise it’s all Leading somewhere.
I got my shirt back.
tell them you want to pick up order 12.
My receipt number?
it should already be paid for.
Wow, this is a nice jacket.
real Leather. put it on.
It fits.
it Looks good on you.
How are you doing all this?
what do you mean?
The coupon, the coffee, the dry cleaners. How!?
friends look out for each other.
You are NOT my friend. I don’t even know you.
you’ll meet me soon enough.
Why should I continue this game?
that’s up to you. i’m just trying to change your Life.
Where do I go next?
check the pocket.
A flyer for Ellen’s Furniture store?
sounds exciting.
So you want to change my life by me getting a new couch?
or a recliner. you should check it out.
Are you trying to be funny?
it’s never been my strong suit.
Fine, I’ll go.
i’m sure something will catch your eye.
Lee! She’s here!
who is?
The girl! From the coffee shop!
do you even know her name?
Jessica…I think.
Lord knows you’ve looked at the area near her nametag enough.
Shut up!
you should know it.
She’s with some guy.
probably her boyfriend.
They’re arguing about something.
three things will tear apart a couple. Lies, money, and trying to agree on a couch.
I don’t want to eavesdrop.
but if you don’t stick around, you’ll miss the fun.
He just stormed off.
this is it.
What?
the moment that will change your Life forever.
What do I do?
talk to her.
WTF LEE!?
hmm?
She called me a stalker and stormed off!
well you did eavesdrop on her and her boyfriend at a furniture store. who does that, mark?
You set all this up?
i can’t control what others do, mark.
She said she never wants to see me again.
it’s almost time.
I don’t want to do this anymore…
but you’re almost done.
Leave me alone!
i think its time we met face to face.
What makes you think I want to see you?
we’re friends.
Stop saying that! You haven’t helped me at all!
All you’ve done is send me on a wild goose chase that involved me getting burned by coffee...
and called a creepy stalker by the girl I liked!
i think there’s been some misunderstandings…
what are you talking about?
i never said i would help you.
i said i would change your Life.
So you ruin it!?
i told you i can’t control what people do, mark. everything you’ve done today, you did on your own. all i did was advise.
So what do I do now?
Go home, or Let’s finish this.
Where do I go?
the corner of 50th and 12th. the clock is ticking. better hurry.
A church? Looks like there’s a wedding going on.
turn around.
Hotel?
go to the b Level of the parking garage. find the parking space Labeled 9.
There’s no one here.
Look down at your feet.
A gun!?
it’s Loaded.
WTF IS ALL THIS!?
you haven’t been paying attention at all, have you? the Letter L has been following you all day.
The 12th Letter that will change your Life.
Who are you? Why are you doing this?
i told you from the start. i’m your friend. one more L in the puzzle. i am Beelzebub.
Beezlebub?
pull the trigger, mark. then we can finally meet. L8r
