slightly off coloured, the ground is dirty and the sky is

followed by a blank screen.

The lake has a cold and isolated feel as GEORGE arrives,
carrying his equipment. He places it down on the floor,
setting it up beside the lake. He sits down on his chair,
before putting some bait on his rod, and casting his line
into the water. He sits for some period of time, waiting
for some action.
GEORGE
We’re going to catch a big one today!
GEORGE laughs to himself, as he feels a slight tug on his
rod.
GEORGE
Here we go!
GEORGE’s face turns as the tug on his rod gets more
aggressive, pulling him closer to the lake. Suddenly, the
rod is thrown into the lake as GEORGE lets go, before an
attack, hauling GEORGE into the water as he screams.
GEORGE
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
