Heaven

The Inn

PAGE ONE

Panel One: Wide-angle view of a large, one-story inn on a mound overlooking a deserted, pebbly beach on its left. The building is solid white except for the wooden structural supports that are visible from the outside. It has a high ceiling that is pointed in the middle. Mountains are visible in the distance. 

PAGE TWO

Panel One: Faraway view of Ania, so tiny she is barely recognizable, walking along the beach with the water at her right.

CAPTION: The middle of nowhere

Panel Two: Same as Panel One, but Ania is larger.

Panel Three: Same as Panel One, but Ania is even larger. 

Panel Four: Close-up of Ania. Her face is dirty, and she looks tired. 

ANIA: So… hungry…

Panel Five: View of Ania from behind, with the beach at her left and the inn from the previous page far in the distance.

ANIA: An inn… Maybe I’ll be able to get some food there. 

PAGE THREE

Panel One: View of a large man from behind. He’s standing in front of a table with two large buckets surrounded by a mountain of plates, bowls and silverware. 

Panel Two: View of a dining room approximately 20 feet by 30 feet set up with two long, cafeteria-style tables that take up nearly the whole room. The tables are packed with patrons eating from bowls and drinking from ceramic mugs. 

SFX: Clang! Slurp! Munch! Chink!

Panel Three: Close-up profile view of the man from Panel One. He’s Boric, the innkeeper, who has a rather ordinary face except for his very defined unibrow. He’s busy and his hands are full. A bead of sweat runs down his face and he wears a stressed expression. 

BORIC: Hrrr…

Panel Four: Full-body view of Ania from behind, standing at the front door of the inn. 

PAGE FOUR

Panel One: Extreme-wide angle view of the bustling dining room. From here we can see that the room has a bar at one side, with a doorway leading to the kitchen area. (The center of the bar was the vantage point of Page Three, Panel Two.) Behind the bar stands Boric, still standing at his buckets with piles of dishes all around him. 

Ania stands at the bar, her eyes barely making it over the counter. 

SFX: Chomp! Swig! Gulp! Chang!

ANIA (QUIETLY): Excuse me…

Panel Two: Same as Panel One, but now Ania is on her tiptoes and some of the patrons have changed position.

SFX: Crunch! Sip! Bang! Burp!

ANIA (A BIT LOUDER): Pardon me…

Panel Three: Same as Panel Two, but Ania’s mouth is open wider than ever.

SFX: Glug! Slobber! Ping! Clack!

ANIA (VERY LOUD): Hello!?

PAGE FIVE

Panel One: Medium-length view of Boric from Ania’s side of the bar. We can see a bit of Ania’s back in the panel, and it’s clear that Boric is attending to her.
