# The Minutes

PANEL 1 | A stenographer at a vast table, typing furiously. Around her, thirty empty chairs.

PANEL 2 | She types the last line. Caption: "Adjourned, 11:40."

PANEL 3 | A hand reaches in and takes the pages. Only the hand.

PANEL 4 | The room, later. On the table, one sheet. It reads, in full: "NO MINUTES WERE TAKEN."
