You must run, David. Escape.
<Run... escape? What? Who are you?>
Do not be afraid, David. Of me.
<But who are you? Where am I? Why can't I move?>
The name matters not. You are safe, but only for a little while. You are asleep.
<Asleep. This is a dream?>
No. And if you do not run, you will die. This must not happen.
<Why? Besides the obvious, I mean.>
Strip the candle of wax and the wick cannot stand. Remove the wick and the wax will not burn. It is necessary synthesis. You must avoid your death.
<I've made a point of it so far.>
Protect your friend. He is important. They will kill you both. A third is coming to aid you. Escape will be possible. Trust him.
<Ooh. A third. Three's company, you know.>
<Ooh. A third. Three's company, you know.>
Do not die, David. It is important. Now awaken. You have but minutes. Go.
<I seem to be doing a lot of running lately.>
<I seem to be doing a lot of running lately.>
The first light of dawn.
