Like Alice Through the Looking Glass

The impact was hard, and Max bounced off a tree and a few branches; at that particular moment he felt like Wile E. Coyote. And that imagery in his mind made him chuckle, just as he impacted the ground. Momentarily winded, he lay on the ground looking up at the heavens.

"Where am I now?" he asked no one in particular. 

"In a park," came a reply. He looked over and saw a cat sitting on the grass licking his paws. 

"Ah," Max said as he picked himself up. "Now the next question is when am I?"

"I beg your pardon?" the cat asked him.

Max stood on his feet, still feeling the after-effects of the shift.

I really don't know but it seems too far fetched even to me.

I know someone who has encountered one of those warriors. They were on the subway and battling demons?

I call bullshat on that! boom_shaklak ... cause everyone knows that demons don't like subway cars.

Dammit! This is serious! Who knows when we wake up in the morning that we're imprisoned by a tyrannical dictator?

I really don't trust a website with an ad for the Date Hot Asian Chicks on its site.

That's truly is weird man. I clicked the link and read the article... and what they were writing about is at the subway station just two blocks from me. I just came from there after reading the article and I am getting a weird vibe from it.

I am sensing something sinister is in the air.

Faux Script

SUBWAYS MOVING THROUGHOUT CITY

A. SUBWAY STATION INT.
GONER & TRUMP move down the sidewalk, among the scattered pedestrians. TRUMP is sticking close to GONER. Goner drops a coin into a vending booth and picks up a paper.
CUT

B. HARBOR EXT. NIGHT
The Staten Island Ferry docks. MAGS steps from the gangplank and walks toward the camera. We see that she is dressed in a dark red body suit, camo pants and wearing a long brown coat.
CUT

C. CITY STREET EXT. NIGHT
FRANK walking, eating a hot dog. He checks his watch; the time is 11:45pm and he heads for the subway platform. As he walks down the stairs... CUT TO 2 figures in an alleyway with glowing red LED eyes. One of them speaks into its wrist.

D. NIGHTCLUB INT. NIGHT
ANGST is on the dance-floor getting into the musical vibe; she dances up a storm. Sweat covering her body. Her watch vibrates and that is her cue to leave. She begins walking away from one MAN, who grabs her arm.

ANGST: Let go or lose it.

MAN: Come on, Sugar. You can't just wind me up and leave me hanging.

Angst's knee comes up to meet MAN's groin.

ANGST: I presume that they are not hanging anymore.
CUT

E. PLATFORM EXT. NIGHT
MAX is standing on the platform with headphones on, digging the beat. He is listening to "White Lines". His head bobbing as he waits for the car to pull in.

Celebration of the Cube

A recording from a gospel sermon from the year 8437 AD

Reverend: Even though he walked through the darkest of cities,
he feared no evil,
for Pain & Joy were with him.
Max prepared a table before us;
the sound of gunshots echoing gladness,
and blood overflowed.
Parishioners: Goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives
Reverend: Max will be with you.
Parishioners: And also with you
Reverend: He along with the angel, Maggie, cleansed this earth.
Parishioners: And made it anew
Reverend: For They had fought the righteous battle.
Parishioners: And we all knew for they were fighting the sins of the worlds for us.
