PANEL 1


Night time, we are over looking a bridge that is high over a rushing river. Standing on it's edge looking down is a MAN in a ragged suit, a bottle of vodka in his right hand.


CAPTION- Poinephobia; the abnormal fear of punishment.


PANEL 2


Close up of the MAN'S face, unshaven and drunk, tears filling his eyes. On his cheeks are scratch marks, fresh with wet blood.


CAPTION- Suffers can not stand the thought of the terrible consequences their actions can incur.


PANEL 3


The MAN jumps. Everything becomes a blur as the wind rushes past him, his clothes flapping about. The only things that are clear are himself and a patch of river water waiting to greet him.


CAPTION- Some will go to any lengths to avoid them.


PANEL 4


We are at the river level looking down stream. A full white moon seems to take up most of the night sky. The MAN'S GHOST rises from the water. A spectral form, same as he died, but now relieved and happy. He doesn't notice however THE SPECTRE, standing behind him, his cape raised in his hands like a bird of prey, his face without compassion.


CAPTION- After all, who can punish the dead?
