PANEL ONE: CARTER is rigid, in shock. BLISS smiles brightly- a hideous look - and is perfectly cheerful and well-mannered.

CARTER:
H-hi?

BLISS:
My name is Brandon. I’m a student here at Porter’s.

PANEL TWO: BLISS’s face looks...blissful… as he talks excitedly about the school re-opening.

BLISS:
Oh, I do hope the school will be re-opening soon!

CARTER (narr):
The voice doesn’t belong to a child. It’s the voice of a cold, dead throat come back to life.

PANEL THREE: BLISS extends a hand to shake CARTER’s. CARTER stares at it.

CARTER (narr):
And then it extends a hand.

BLISS:
Pleased to meet you!

PANEL FOUR: CARTER takes the hand; looking like ants are crawling all over his skin, obviously creeped out.

CARTER (narr):
The flesh is cold, but the grip is strong. I feel as if there are ants crawling up my arm. It’s all I can do not to scream.

CARTER:
Ah, er, pleased to meet you…?

PANEL FIVE: A Chucky-like transformation as the kid smiles evilly.

BLISS:
Brandon.

BLISS:
Brandon BLISS.
