PANEL 1

Inside an ape’s bedroom. All that can be seen is the end of a bed, with human feet on top of it, ankles roped to the bed posts. The feet aren’t struggling. In the background we can see an archway where THE APE, nothing on but a primitive towel around his waist downwards, is standing in front of a mirror (NOTE: No reflection can be seen). In his left hand is a bloody razor held up.

THE APE- Now was that so bad?

PANEL 2

Zooming into the image in PANEL 1, with more of a focus on the archway leading to THE APE. The razor has been put down to the side. The reflection in the mirror still can’t be seen.

THE APE- There was no reason to be afraid. After all...

PANEL 3

Viewpoint from the mirror. We are looking directly at THE APE’s face as he stares outwards at the reader. He grins widely, as he wears a human face that has been freshly cut off. Smudges of red can be seen underneath the mask and wet blood seeps from the edges

THE APE -... I just want to be like you.
