The Evil Ones show him disastrous events like his friend dying in a fight, his fiance Mary falling off a cliff, and a devastating explosion at the airfield.

Disclose Notes: Interesting to note the protagonist's name is George Bailey. This is the same as Jimmy Stewart's character from the film, It's a Wonderful Life. George Bailey's paramour in the film is also named Mary. This may be a coincidence, but it may be interesting to note for some.
