What Happens

Doug has put a lot of time into the jack-o-lantern this Halloween, and it looks great. Whoops– it fell off the window ledge, 29 flights up. He looks out the window, and it looks like he may have killed a man down there. It’s a very long ride down in the elevator to find out what happened.

Commentary

This is really great. Doug goes from happy, to terrified, to relieved, to terrified again, and he’s very convincing. All the weirdos who head to and from the Halloween party are especially good. The ending… is maybe not what he deserved, but it’s hilarious.
