A WHITE SCREEN
We sense this is someone's P.O.V. The WHITE
slowly disperses as hints of BLUE SKY peek
through. We are DESCENDING through the CLOUDS
as the evening sunset weaves a blanket of
orange and red hues over a LARGE CITY which
slowly comes INTO FOCUS.
Floating HIGH ABOVE the peaks and valleys of
CHICAGO'S SKYLINE, as if being mysteriously
moved to a letter on a Ouija Board, WE ARE
DRAWN to an unfinished STEEL-FRAMED
SKYSCRAPER. The hum of the construction work
below fills our ears. Gradually, WE CLOSE IN
on a small yellow dot that dances on one of
the exposed beams... CLOSER STILL... Just as
the detailed creases of a yellow hard hat
become evident, it tilts OUT OF FRAME as the
face of the MAN wearing it looks up into the
sky.

It's a shame we have to put
roofs on 'em.
