Panel 1 Alister from a rooftop looks towards the church on
the hill. Darkness consumes the sky but there is a small
light piercing the sky above the church. Behind Alister
sits his hovercycle. His sword is in its sheath on his
back.
ALISTER
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years
since all this began, and I still
try to do good, but all I want to
do is rest. Rest it seems to be all
I think of when I should be
thinking of this city; think of my
city. I’m the one, the person that
was chosen. I was the one born to
this family. I must keep my head up
high when it seems this war will
never end. I know, however, that it
will end. I don’t know how I don’t
know when, but what I do know is
that it will end when you are
ready. This building so many times
I stood right here this spot, and
gazed out into the city, to hear
the cries of the people below. Oh
God God these dark skies I’m sick
of them. I want to see the sun
again. I want to see more than the
sliver of light that you shine on
the church. Oh, that church that
changed my life. God why did you
put it on that hill? Did you have
people build it so that you didn’t
have to move the hill? Like the
Bible said that you can move
mountains. Why am I still doing
this? Why am I again alone I
thought you would never leave or
forsake me?
Page 2 Page 2: 2975A.D. Alister flashes back to when he
finds out about his parents and sisters death.
Panel 1 Taking up the top 3rd of the page: You see a
church on the front of it, it says “Harvest Church;”
behind the church in the distance you see the church on
the hill.
ALISTER
I remember how I spiraled out of
control at least my life did. Okay,
I did too. It was at the church my
family had gone to for years. I had
gone when I was young, but when I
became a teenager they let me
decide what I wanted to do. So I
stopped going.
Panel 2 Taking up the middle of the page: Inside the
church, people standing, some with their hands up in the
air, as they are singing.
ALISTER
I thought it was strange to see
people raise their hands and jump
up and down praising a being that
one couldn’t see.
Panel 3 Taking up the bottom 3rd of the page: Inside the
church, people sitting as the preacher is standing at his
pulpit preaching.
ALISTER
As I recall the last service, for
what I was told later. Was talking
about…
PASTOR
Today we are going to talk about
the love of God, and his
forgiveness.
Page 3 Page 3: 2975A. D. Alister’s flash back of his parents
and sisters death. Part 2.
Panel 1 People are leaving the church but a few are still
standing around talking. The pastor comes up to a couple
and their daughter.
PASTOR
Where’s your son Alister.
MOTHER
He didn’t want to come; he says
there is no God.
PASTOR
Oh, he is in the stage of his life
like others have been. The stage
that things that we can’t see must
be none existent or not real.
Panel 2 Taking most of the page the church explodes.
Panel 3 Alister stands at the funeral, a tear rolling down
his cheek.
ALISTER
I can still remember what I thought
at the funeral.
ALISTER
(thinking)
Mom gave me a choice to go with
them, but I didn’t. Because I
didn’t, I mean I don’t believe in
God. This would have never happened
if there was a God.
ALISTER (CON’T)
Oh my thoughts went crazy that day,
but that was the day my path would
split and I would go down the road
that had no path. I was making my
own way. Or this is what I thought.
Page 4 Page 4
Panel 1 Alister hears screams. Alister shakes his head as

(dreaming).

This of course is all to common
today, but there still was
something in the scream.
