10   EXT. DESERT - DAY (OPTICAL)

	The ball lying in the sand. PULL BACK TO REVEAL
	Sisko, wearing civilian clothes, digging desperately 
	in the sand under a burning, hot sun. His face is 
	haggard, parched; he's close to exhaustion.

	At some point, Sisko tosses away the shovel he's 
	been using and starts clawing away at the sand with 
	his bare hands.

11   SISKO'S POV OF THE SAND (OPTICAL)

	as his fingers begin to uncover a face covered by a 
	thin shroud. Sisko's hands remove the veil-like 
	cloth to expose a face mask chiseled in stone. 
	Almost immediately, the stone cracks into a thousand 
	pieces which quickly turn into dust. Sisko brushes 
	away the dust with his hand, revealing the face of a 
	beautiful black woman. Her eyes are closed, her 
	expression serene. Suddenly, her eyes pop open.
