The lights SWITCH on to reveal a dimly lit room. Motes ofdust drift through the dead space. The room is square, witha small rectangular projection hole on the right side.

WILLIAM--a bearded man with a white shirt and black blazer,enters the room.

He turns around and looks at an empty wooden chair in thecenter of the room.

He walks over to the chair, and unbuttons the two middlebuttons of his shirt.

As he pulls back his shirt, a projector lens is revealedextruding from his skin. He pulls back his shirt, to revealthe full length of the lens.

He seats himself on the wooden chair, and looks to the clockon the wall in front of him.

The minute hand clicks over to 11:59. The show is about tobegin.

William looks down to the projector lens in his chest.

As the light from the projector grows in intensity,William’s body begins to strain.

He grips his hands around the arms of the chair.

As the projector goes to full power, William collapses inhis chair.
