Panel 1: A bird’s eye view of a windowless, crowded room.  People are packed so closely together that there is little room for any movement.  Everyone is talking loudly to each other.

Panel 2: The view zooms in to a main character (Ariel), wedged between two other people.

Panel 3: Ariel sees her friend Katie walk by and among the congestion.  A look of surprise on Ariel’s face as she remembers something important she has to tell Katie.

Panel 4: Ariel is trying to get Katie’s attention by moving her arms, but her arms are firmly pressed against her body by the surrounding people.

            Panel 5: Katie continues walking away from Ariel.

            Panel 6: A look of panic on Ariel’s face as Katie disappears from her view.

Panel 1: Ariel tries to yell out, but cannot.  (A blank word balloon is shown to symbolize Ariel’s lack of sound.)

            Panel 2: Ariel looks panicky.

Panel 3: A view of the room of people tilted on itself.  It looks like all the people are going to crush Ariel.

            Panel 3: Ariel looks overjoyed.

Panel 4: Ariel tries to say something, but still no sound.  (A large, blank word balloon is shown, suggesting that Ariel continues to try to talk even though no sound is admitted.)

            Panel 5: Katie looks blankly at Ariel as if she doesn’t see her.

            Panel 6: Ariel tries again to yell and tell Katie something.
