Besides, it's Halloween in a few days. I'm gonna be a punk rock angel. But, without further adieu. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />The West from the Other Side of that CanyonPanoramic view of the great painted desert, in the American west. It is sunset. Camera PANS slowly across the scene, with a slight track of wind blowing playing.NARRATOR: "I'm gone. I died long ago, but my spirit still roams this great land. I've been forgotten in Hell, and here it looks like, too. Gotta follow the rules, though -- leavin' me to wander forever. Forever across this great land, never leavin' a footstep."CUT to shot of a family on a homestead. A young sister and brother chase each other about the yard, while their mother pins up clothing on a line quaking the breeze. The sky is painted as in the first shot, during the sunset.NARRATOR: "I life you live long is just a moment to me. I try, believe me, to be with 'em and touch 'em. I guess they don't know that chill in the night is just daddy saying hello."CUT back to panaoramic view of the great painted desert. CUT to varied shots of horses fleeing in terror, scattering over the plains above the desert.NARRATOR: "There's no place for me, anymore. Everywhere I go brings upset, and harm. I don't want to remember when I was alive, anymore."CUT to original panoramic view.NARRATOR: "Like you I once was, and like me you shall be."The sun DROPS behind a mesa, extinguished from view.</blockquote>
