FADE IN:

INT.   INTERNET - TIMELESS

The VISITOR steps into the website, and the swinging wooden doors clap the arrival. Puffs of dust 
sympathize with each creaking floorboard as the Visitor's boots saunter further inside, refusing 
to retreat. 

The PIANO PLAYER stops on a dissonant chord. The HARLOT closes her legs. And the lone empty 
chair looks more like a warning than a welcome. 

The Visitor steps up to the bar and scans the various choices offered:

HOME, FILM, TELEVISION, NON-FICTION, WEB CONTENT, ABOUT, CONTACT, BLOG

                           What's your poison?

                                          THE VISITOR
                           How 'bout a round for the house?

                                          BARKEEP
                           That's the way it works in these parts, 
                           amigo. Whatever you pick, we all get.

                                          THE VISITOR
                           Then I guess I best get on with it. Looks 
                           like a restless crowd.

The Barkeep looks cautiously left then right, as if crossing a dangerous road.

                            When it comes to a first-time visitor 
                            with a mouse, you never saw a faster 
                            trigger-finger.

                                          THE VISITOR
                            Since you put it that way.

With no hesitation, the Visitor raises the mouse and aims.
