Astronaut in the Ocean

A small suburban park on a Sunday afternoon. Children on swings and play-structures, teenagers skating the perimeter, parents surveying. Two old-timers, MELVIN and DOROTHY, lounge on a park bench, Melvin nodding off on Dorothy’s shoulder.

MASKED WOLF and his ACCOMPLICE, 6 foot 4 and clad in black leather jackets, enter the park. The Accomplice bears a BOOM-BOX in one hand and an AXE in the other.
