Panel 1:
We're on a sandy island, where the beach meets the sea. A pirate, carrying a treasure chest, is being chased by a Skeleton waving a sword and a Skeleton wearing a hook.
Sword Skeleton: Get off our island!
Hook Skeleton: Yeah, you'd better run!
Panel 2:
The pirate is nowhere to be seen - evidently he's made his escape. The Skeletons call after him. A Spawning Skeleton digs his way out of the sand.
Sword Skeleton: And stay gone!'
Hook Skeleton: Yeah!
Panel 3:
The Skeletons stand around on the shore. The Spawning Skeleton that was digging his way out of the sand pauses, still mostly buried.
No dialogue.
Panel 4:
The Sword Skeleton and Hook Skeleton turn around, heading back from whence they came. The Spawning Skeleton starts to re-bury himself.
Sword Skeleton: ...right, back in the ground until the next crew arrives.
Spawning Skeleton: I miss the sky.
The sand gets everywhere.
