INT. PHONE BOOTH - DAY
1. Close up on keypad as a hand presses the numbers
2. Mid shot on GRAHAM, a tired looking guy in his mid twenties. He's has the receiver in his right hand but holding it up to his left ear. He's leaning on his left arm, which is pushed against the glass as if blocking out the world.
He is waiting nervously for someone to answer.
3. An attractive girl, AMY, answers the phone.
AMY
Hello?
4. Graham looks reluctant to speak.
GRAHAM Hi Amy .... It's me.
5. A look of shocked concern is on Amy's face.
AMY
Graham? Is that really you?
6. Graham has shift himself in the booth so that he is facing the other way and is now leaning on his right arm. Over his shoulder we see a group of people walking down the hill behind him.
The dialogue is intercut across the whole panel.
GRAHAM
Yeah ... Look, I'm sorry I haven't been in touch.
AMY
In touch? You haven't called in over a week! Where the hell have you been?
GRAHAM
I've been busy. I was gonna call, but I needed some space an-
AMY
Space?! What kind of excuse is that?
GRAHAM
Listen, I've been doing some thinking ...
AMY
Thinking now is it? Too busy thinking to answer a phone? And whose number is this anyway, where the hell are you?
GRAHAM
Amy, I don't we should see each other anymore.
AMY
WHAT? 1
PAGE TWO - This page is split into six panels as well. The left side has two on top of each other and the right side split into four.
Panel 1. Graham is leaning on his right side whilst holding the phone away from his left ear. He doesn't notice the crowd have now approached the outside of the booth and is in fact an army of the undead.
Dialogue blares out from the phone.
AMY (CONT'D)
You're breaking up with me?l How dare you break up with me! I'm the best thing that ever happened to youl You are in no position to do the dumpingl
2. Closer in on Graham's face with a zombie looming in the background.
GRAHAM
Look, I have to go now. I think there are people outside wanting to use the phone.
3. Graham turns to see the zombie mob who are looking menacing.
4. Arms smash through the glass and start to pull at Graham who is clinging to the phone as his last remaining life line.
Amy is still shouting through the phone at him.
AMY
I can't believe you, you're such a coward!
AMY (CONT'D)
Calling me from a phone box because you're afraid to see me.
5. The phone is falling from Graham's grasp as the zombies finally pull him out of the phone box and tear him limb from limb.
AMY (CONT'D)
You better pull yourself together because I'm telling you right
now ..•
6. The main object in the panel is the phone receiver, but in the background we see Graham's head staring blankly into the middle distance and a pool of blood spreading from his body.
AMY (CONT'D)
... The next time I see you, you're dead.
THE END.
