I don't have everything plotted out just yet and am still trying to keep it simple, I'm familiar with pantomime comics and know how to show without telling though.
So the setting is medieval, the protagonist is a little girl clad in black and wears a plague mask leaves her home at dusk and starts to head towards town. She spots several other kids playing by a bridge into town and instead takes the round about to town.
She enters a bakery and tries to order something, but upon seeing who it is the Baker scowls at her. She places a coin on the counter, the Baker ignores her at first but she puts another coin on the counter, the Baker glares at her and points at the door. Just as she places another coin on the counter the Baker yells and slides all the coins off the counter.
She empties her purse of coins on the counter, confusing the Baker. Last panel of the scene is her pointing to something in the cabinet display.
Next scene is her leaving the Bakery and cradling a small bonnet before hearing something from behind her. She turns and sees all the money she gave to the Baker has been tossed out into the street. The Baker then locks the door. She trudges away from the bakery, visibly hurt. A large rock bounces off her mask and damages it.
She's been spotted by the kids by the bridge, the all have rocks and take aim at her. She forgot to leave the same way she came.
The last scene is her back at home, her older brother is in bed with an injured arm. He wakes up and sees droplets of blood on the floor that lead under his bed as well as the plague mask thats been badly damaged. He looks under the bed and sees two glowing eyes staring back at him, one half swollen shut.
The small bonnet is slide towards him. He opens it and its a small cake, partially smushed that says "happy Birthday".
And thats about where I was looking at ending this.
