(Revised) Park Storyboard

The Unsuspected Visitor on the Sound

Carlos Burgos

On a clear and Sunny day, the view of the Long Island Sound is enjoyed by many adults and children from Northport Park.

The crowd’s attention is fixed on the water, sailboats, and luxury yachts… so they do not notice the figure that pops up from under the boardwalk.

We see the figure, a scuba diver, take out a saw and contemplates their next move.

From the distance, we see a police boat racing toward the diver, who is half way through cutting a hole in the side of a boat when they hear the siren. The diver turns to see if they were spotted. The boat draws closer. The sirens grow louder. The diver begins to worry.

But the job was done. The yacht begins to take in water. The diver shows panic and hopelessness as any possible exit strategy may not be possible. The police boat has now reached the pier and the crowd’s attention has now turned to the scene. The crowd, along with the police, are left without a suspect and with a sunken yacht. No track of the diver can be seen.

From the park’s promenade, a female figure, with wet clothes and watery trail, joins an unsuspecting crowd that have gathered to watch the investigation.
