Sparrow’s Move, Page 4

PANEL 1

Sparrow hands Rachel a full soda cup at the concession stand, looking cheerful.

SPARROW: "Sure! There ya go!"

Rachel looks disappointed.

RACHEL: "Wait! Maybe you didn't get my message..."

PANEL 2

A sequence of close-up panels showing Rachel trying to be seductive: her face saying "Can.", her eye saying "You.", her lips saying "Fill.", her chest with heart shapes on her shirt saying "Me...", and finally a close-up of glossy lips.

RACHEL: "Can." RACHEL: "You." RACHEL: "Fill." RACHEL: "Me..." RACHEL: "Up?"

PANEL 3

Sparrow gives Rachel a knowing look. A crowd of customers has formed behind them at the concession stand.

SPARROW: "Oh, I got your message."

THE END

SPARROW: "Now if you don't mind, I have other customers to attend to!"

At this point in the series all the gURLs were only too happy to call Sparrow a slut and a whore. This was interesting because a few weeks later, when I started to show the story from Sparrow’s point of view, the comments dramatically shifted to a more sympathetic “How can you be so mean to her?” line.
