God: The Superhero (Issue 1)

NYC night. Snow falling. Wet, glossy pavements. A light shines from within an electronics store - thieves are about!

Description: Trouble brewing; a cunning thief on the prowl.
****
The thief inside the shop. He's masked, cloaked in black, bulging muscles, angry, loading radios into a large bag.

Sound: A crash.
****
Close-up on thief - his head turned, face showing concern.

Thief - thought bubble: "What is that?....It's nothing.... Rats.... That's all"
****
Description: Then...

A hanging lamp has been hit. It swings back and forth.
****
Close-up on thief - he's scared. He has a gun, it's drawn, ready.

Thief: "Who's there? Come out."
****
A finger hitting a light switch.

Sound of the Switch: Click

A back room flooded with light.
****
A silhouette in the doorway. A short man with a beard, wearing a robe. He stands there, his hands steady at his side, calm and cool like a gunslinger.
****
Thief: "Oh my G-"

Lightning has struck the thief - where could this lightning come from?.
****
The man in the doorway approaches. We see his face - old, bearded, mean and dead eyes. God.
****
God stands over the thief, who is still smoking from the lightning. He has a cigarette in his mouth, his hands cup around it with a lighter.

Thief: "Father..."
****
God has taken the thief's gun and has it pointed at the guy's head. Cigarette in mouth, God looks awfully cool.

God: Remorseless "Smoking will kill you."

Sound: Bang!
