$The Ride of her Life By Cecil Castellucci For PJ Holden Panel 1 We are on a Disneyland Ride. (I think ghost haunted mansion vibe, but you know, make it your own, if you want to go fairy tale or pirate, go for it) A woman is in the little buggy by herself. It is on approach to a scene in the ride where is an animatronic man with his hand out to an animatronic woman, but they haven’t quite reached each other. CAPTION: I see her whenever she comes through. Our eyes always catch. Panel 2 The little buggy is now closer, and it is stopped in front of the man who is still reaching out. RIDE ANNOUNCEMENT: There are ghosts in the system. The ride will continue when we’ve spirted them away. Panel 3 A bunch of tiny panels of the woman in the buggy and the man reaching out. I would love for this to be fractured action. Him reaching out, their eyes meeting over and over again, their bodies in their respective places broken up. As though time and space is cracking them and the possibilities open. You know. Some crazy shit! Here’s your billion panels in this one fractured panel? CAPTION: What if I could change the story I live every day? Panel 4 The woman from the buggy is now dancing with the man. The animatronic woman he was reaching out to is alone. CAPTION: What if I asked her to dance with me for eternity? Panel 5 The buggy is empty, a purse in the front seat is all that tells us that there was anyone there. In the distance we see the animatronic man and the woman from the buggy, still dancing. RIDE ANNOUNCEMENT: Thank you for your patience. We’ll be on our way. It’s a part where$
