The CHIRP of CICADA is the only sound. SUPERIMPOSE:1868 - ST. TAMMANY PARISH, LOUISIANA But suddenly the CHIRPING GETS LOUDER and LOUDER -- BZZZZZ! -- until we realize it's not the cicadas, but a -- SWOOOSH! A lethal, razor-sharp DISC BUZZES up over the horizon, swoops TOWARD the CAMERA and OUT OF FRAME! The CAMERA SPINS AROUND to see the disc flying away, chasing a man, THADDEUS MORTON, wearing a strange metallic collar -- exhausted, horrified, about to die. NEW ANGLE - MORTON He looks over his shoulder, panting -- he's been running forever. MORTON (mumbling) Madman... Hideous spider... Run... Run! Warn the President...

The disc goes straight through the trees, slicing a path straight as the crow flies. NEW ANGLE - OLD WAGON dilapidated, broken down, weathering away in the field.
