Page One
1. (Long panel) We see the rooftops to old warehouses. It's an overcast autumn day. Though still in use they seem to have been slightly forgotten by time.
Sound: RRRING! RRRING! RRRING RRRING!
2. We see an alleyway in between two of the warehouses. It is populated by garbage chutes, fire escapes and dumpsters and many discarded full trash bags. There are also two figures towards the end of the alleyway with their backs pressed against the wall.
Sound: RRING! RRING!
3. We get a closer look at the two figures. They're a young woman and a young man. They appear to be in their late teens or possibly early twenties. They both wear pairs of thick spectacles. "Birth control" glasses as they're called. The young man, FISH is slightly chubby. He is clad in an argyle sweater vest and a button down shirt with a pair of tan khakis. He has a rather conservative appearance. The woman's long and unkempt blue-black hair is just barely kept out of her eyes by a dark blue headband. She is wearing denim capris, a short sleeve shirt and hooded cardigan jacket. Her name is CHARLIE. They both have fearful expression on their faces. Though the woman seems like she might be slightly enjoying things.
Sound: RRING! RRING! RRRRRROOOOOOAAAAR!
FISH
You know when you convinced me to do this I don't think this is what I had in mind!
CHARLIE
What exactly did you have in mind?
4. Our scene remains the same as FISH adjusts his glasses in a nervous fashion.
FISH
I don't know! Probably not cannibalistic Schwinns that's for sure!
CHARLIE
Well, if it makes you feel any better we're not facing a cannibalistic Schwinn. I'm pretty sure this thing doesn't eat other bikes.
5. We get a view of FISH's pant leg which is torn and slightly soaked in blood.
FISH
(Off-panel)
I'm not sure that makes me feel any better.
6. We come to eye level with our new friends here. CHARLIE puts on something of smile while FISH scowls.
CHARLIE
He sure did take a bite out of you though. Which is going to be a problem. Now that it has a taste of human flesh, particularly yours, I think the stakes have just been raised.
FISH
Oh gee, you think!
Sound: RRING! RRING! RRRRRROOOOARR!
Page Two
1. We finally get our first view of the murderous Schwinn. A monstorous bicyle if there ever was one. Thick black tires that seem to be covered in scales. Spikes and serrated edges cover the frame. Its blue metallic paint seems to shimmer and its chrome shines unnnaturally bright. The entire thing seems three times bigger than a normal bike and doesn't roll as much as crawl its way up the empty streets of the warehouse district. The only things that seem normal about the thing are its bell and its metallic wire basket until...
2. The basket separates to reveal a hideous mouth filled with multiple rows of rusty and jagged teeth.
Sound: RRRRRROOOOOARR!
3. We return to our heroes in the alleyway as they deliberate about the proper way to take down such a fiendish bike.
FISH
I would've thought that we would've beat this thing by now. I mean after luring it under that bus, tricking it in front of the street sweeper, tossing it off a bridge, trying to pop its tires... Well, all we've seem to do is make it more monstorous when it regenerates and more pissed at us. It's a vicious cycle in every sense of the word
4.Previous scene continued
FISH
I mean was this all really necessary? It wasn't really that harmful before. It defintely didn't have a taste for human flesh.
CHARLIE
It was eating neighborhood pets, Fish.
5. Close up of FISH's face as he relaxes a bit and tries to bring levity to the situation
FISH
I guess I shouldn't tell you about my habit of eating neighborhood pets. Otherwise you'd put me down too.
6. We once again see both our protagonists. CHARLIE is sporting a huge grin. She gestures at FISH's flabby gut.
CHARLIE
And it doesn't look like you stopped there either. *Laughs*
FISH
Bad comedy makes this entire thing a lot less scary. Though this definitely rates a 9.0 on my weird shit-o-meter.
Page Three
1. CHARLIE looks around the alleyway for something to defend the both of them as the bicycle looms ever closer.
Sound: RRRROOOOOARR!
2. A discarded pair of red-handled bolt cutters is seen amongst the rubbish littering the alley.
CHARLIE
(Off-Panel)
I've got an idea...
3. We see CHARLIE holding the bolt cutters and opening and closing them playfully. Her grin from before is now even bigger.
Sound: SNAP!
CHARLIE
You say this is a vicious cycle right? In every sense of the word? Well, there's only one way to beat a vicious cycle...
4. We see a look of realization and disbelief spread across FISH's face. He knows what she plans to do and doesn't like it.
FISH
Charlie that will never work! It's retarded!
5. CHARLIE seems to find joy in FISH's disbelief. She has a look on her face that suggest she's just come across the most brilliant plan that had ever been devised.
CHARLIE
Really, Fish? Or is it genius!
6. FISH looking slightly angry on what he believes to be gross stupidity on the part of CHARLIE
Sound: RRING! RRING!
FISH
I think I know the difference! I didn't confuse my words! Think of something else, that idea will never work!
Page Four
1. We see the dying body of the monstorous Schwinn. It's lying on its as its wheels turn futilely. A metallic tongue is seen sticking out of its mouth. Its chain lays in pieces.
2. We see our two heroes again. They are now on one of the empty streets standing next to the bicycle "corpse" CHARLIE has a look of smug triumph on her face while FISH looks like a shocked man who has eaten too much humble pie.
FISH
I can't believe that worked!
CHARLIE
*Laughs* Well, like I said there is only one way to beat a vicious cycle. You've got to break the chain!
