Sudden Burst of Life – story by Sean Boyle
Issue 1
PAGE 1
Panel 1 – In the first panel we see a so far nameless character's feet standing on a high up tree branch.
Panel 2 – For this panel we see the protagonist land on his feet, still no view of his face. This panel is meant to show the full view of the of the main protagonist's back. What is visible is that he has a medium length of hair. And he is wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts. Where he lands is on a cliffside looking over the large walled in Kingdom where he lives.
MP/Leph: Another day down.
Panel 3 – Close up on Leph's leg. Blood streaks down his legs and into his shoes. He appears to have received a bad cut on his route through the trees.
Leph: Ow, ow, ow, ow, owwwww!
Leph: I can't believe this. It's been so long since I got injured during training.
Panel 4 – This shot is looking at the front of Leph. Leph rips a piece of his shirt off.
SFX: rip
Panel 5 – In this panel Leph has his hands on the cloth after he just finished tightening it around the wound.
Leph: Alright. That should do it. Time to head back.

Panel 1 – Here we see a side view of Leph back inside the kingdom with his hand raised waving to some of the villagers as he appears to be in the motion of jogging through the street.
Leph: Hey Mr. and Mrs. May!
Mr. May: Afternoon Leph! Not working yourself too hard I hope?
Panel 2 – Here Leph stops to answer Mr. May. He pulls up his shorts a tad to show him the injury on his thigh. Blood clearly visible through the cloth Leph put over it.
Leph: Well, I ran through like normal, but I guess I messed up somewhere.
Mrs. May: Oh no. That doesn't look great, you should see Kimberly at her shop.
Leph: I think I'm fine, it will heal on its own.
Panel 3 – Here we have another behind the back shot of a woman with her hands on her hips in an angry stance staring at Leph. This woman is Kimberly and is going to yell off Leph's eardrums. Kim may come off ever so slightly tomboyish but is a very attractive in her own right.
Kim: Heal on its own! A wound that bad could still take years to heal.
Kim: Come to my shop and you'll be healed up in half the time.

Panel 1 – Leph stiffens up at the sight of Kim. Although both of them are around the same age in their late teen years and Leph even has a slight attraction to Kim, its still visible from this panel that Kim has a little bit of a hold on Leph the same way a strict mother does.
Leph: But Kim, it really isn't that bad.
Leph: After wrapping it up tight and leaving it there I can hardly feel it now.
Panel 2 – Close up shot on Kim with visible anger on her face.
Kim: That's because you are numb to the pain now you... ughh!
Kim: I can't even deal with you!
Panel 3 – This shot is of the villagers awkwardly smiling at the odd and somewhat funny scuffle between the two.
