A sheet of square paper, folded in half and standing upright on an empty table like a tent. A spotlight illuminates the bare table, but otherwise its surroundings are dark. The table is a dark wood colour and the portion of the floor that is bathed in light appears to be an old grey concrete, save the blackened silhouette of the table.

Footsteps echo faintly in the distance, getting closer and closer as they clump along the cement floor. An old man in a pinstriped suit and a black bowler hat emerges in the spotlight. He is dressed to the nines and wielding an aged hickory cane. He sets the cane on the table horizontally in front of him, taking no notice of the sheet of paper balanced precariously on its edges. The man stands still for just a moment and then conjures a rotten tomato out of thin air, initiating the largest food fight the world has ever known.
