Chapter 10. Indecision

Sheldon POV

Stuart was killed by a Robber's gunshot.

Leonard was almost crushed by a streetlamp but Penny saved him.

Howard was crushed by his mother.

The police officer Thomas Burke was hit by Bernadette's car and was instantly killed.

Bernadette slipped and fell on the bathtub and cracked her skull.

Kripke was killed when a paintball when through his eye.

Leslie was trapped in the elevator and ended up getting mangled.

Amy…I killed Amy….

Raj was pushed off the cliff by Penny.

All my friends, who's next. Me or Penny? Or do we both get killed at the same time? And what about Leonard? If me and Penny are killed, what happens to Leonard? DO he get killed as well? Or does it end when we are killed, with Leonard as the only survivor?

I have too many questions…with not enough answers. Penny doesn't even know who dies next. And we are to rely on her visions? Well, one thing is for sure, Penny is the next to die. Penny, then me, then Leonard again.

Penny has started to stay in mine and Leonard's apartment. She keeps going to work even though she is next and may suffer an untimely demise on her way to work. Leonard also continues to work despite mine and Penny's protests.

Meanwhile, I have handed in a letter of resignation and have stopped communicating with the outside world, except for trips to the grocery store. I thought the other two would follow my example, but it was no use.

I have been researching other phenomena that involves a group of people surviving a tragedy, then later on dying mysteriously one by one. But the only thing I can find are summaries on the Final Destination films. And it seems that people can survive numerous deaths but, it always manages to catch it's victims. Every single time.

A burner is left on. A bottle of grease falls on the flame. A huge explosion. Penny lays there, burnt to a crisp.

No! Not me! Penny is supposed to have the visions, not me! Well too late now, I have to save Penny.

I pick up my iPhone and dial Penny.

"Hello? Sheldon, I'm at work. This better be an emergency."

"IT is! Penny come home now! Just walk out the door, and come home!." I start to cry, I finally know how Penny felt after a vision. "Please… Please, just listen to me. You're in danger."

"Sheldon, what's wrong? Just tell me."

"I had a vision of your death. A burner's flame… A bottle of grease falls on the flame… An explosion….You burn to a crisp…."

"Oh my gosh. Wait- It got the whole restaurant?"

"I think so, but-" Penny cut me off.

"Sheldon! I have to save everyone! There are little kids and families here! Do you know how many little kids are here?"

"Penny! Don't! That's what Death wants! I will come down there myself after grabbing Leonard. So see me in thirty minutes!" then I pushed the 'End Call' button and ran out the door. As I was running down the stairs, I called Leonard. He picked up on the first ring.

"Sheldon, I'm at work. You'll have to wait til I get home."

"Please, it's about Penny! Penny's in danger!"

"No she isn't Sheldon! She just went to work, she'll be fine."

"Leonard, I'm picking you up in ten minutes whether you want to or not. Penny is the next one to get killed. I'll explain everything when I get there." I hit the 'End Call' button again. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?

Penny POV

Sheldon must be going back to his bat-crap crazy ways. I wanted to tell him, but I didn't want him to just give up.

A huge explosion. Flames erupt everywhere. Sheldon is scattered around in bits and pieces. Another flash, then nothing.

I should stop him from coming here, but I don't want to have him worry about me. I don't want him to think I'm just giving up on life.

I tell a waitress, "I'm going to take my break outside."

Leonard POV

Sheldon just cut me off. I don't know what he doing, but what does it have to do with my girlfriend? Unless…

A bottle of grease falls on the open flame. It explodes and lights the kitchen on fire. Penny walks in and is promptly trapped by the flames. It lights her on fire as she screams. Sheldon is outside pounding on the door, to no avail. Meanwhile, the fire has spread to the dining area, patrons scream and run outside to escape. No one tries to help Sheldon. Soon the dining area is emptied and Sheldon is the only one left in the dining area. He gives up trying to save Penny, but the fire has reached the rest of the oil. There is another, bigger explosion and Sheldon is blasted into bits and pieces. I have only just arrived, when a stray knife comes for me.

Whoa, what was that? Is this a vision? I thought Penny would be the one to get this vision. So, if Sheldon called me about Penny being in danger… He must've had the same vision. He must want to save her, but he'll get killed. All of us will. So what do I do? I can't call him back, he'll just scream at me about saving Penny. I could call Penny, but she would think Sheldon got to me. I guess I could call her, but what good will it do? She'll still die and so will Sheldon. I have no choice, I have to go to the restaurant and keep Penny away from the kitchen. And keep Sheldon away from entering the restaurant. If I die, then at least I know it was for the good of my girlfriend's life.
