THE SCRIPT (finalised)

Script by: Alishba Hasan

EXT. DARK STREET – NIGHT

A narrow, empty street under dim, warm toned streetlights.

A Preteen boy runs, his breath uneven and panicked. His footsteps echo loudly in the silence.

Behind him another set of footsteps, Close, Too close.

He glances over his shoulder, the killer is almost right behind him.

Fear floods his face, He runs faster.

The camera stays tight behind him, shaky, struggling to keep up.

He turns sharply and slips behind a tall concrete wall and pressing himself against it.

Silence.

For a moment nothing.

Then... A hand suddenly clamps over his mouth from behind. His eyes widen in terror.

He struggles as his hand drops to the ground 

Covered in blood. His legs shake violently as he fights, weakening.

The night fills with distant sounds, A crow cawing, An owl calling.  

CUT TO BLACK. 

INT. FAMILY HOUSE – NIGHT

The MOTHER and FATHER lie on the ground, shattered, They cry uncontrollably, holding onto each other.

The room feels heavy, suffocating with grief.

INT. MOTHER’S BEDROOM – DAY (ONE YEAR LATER)

The room is quiet, Unchanged.

Time has passed, but the pain lies.

INT. MOTHER’S CLOSET – DAY

The mother slowly cleans her cupboard, her movements tired and distant.

A diary falls, The sound echoes in the silence.

She freezes, Then slowly bends down and picks it up.

INT. MOTHER’S CLOSET – CONTINUOUS

She opens the diary and begins to read, The mother is really confused and in shock.

Suddenly, A door slams shut, The mother turns her head slowly towards the doorway.

CUT TO BLACK.
