The front door of the house open's revealing his friend. The
inside light blinds ANDREW, sitting on the bench. He friends
wakes out of his house, locks the door and makes his way to
Andrew. Andrew fractionally tries to ignore his mood,
shifting personality. His friends hi fives Andrew. Andrew
get up from the bench.
ANDREW'S FRIEND
Are you okay?
ANDREW
(quickly masks his
pain)
Ya...ye...um what took you so long?
ANDREW'S FRIEND
Just in the bathroom...
(beat)
You didn't have to wait for me.
ANDREW
No problem. Should we go now?
ANDREW'S FRIEND
Sure...
Andrew walks away from the bench and onto the street. His
friend follows.

ANDREW
Whats up on your mind?
ANDREW'S FRIEND
(startled)
Oh... nothing... just nothing to talk
about.
(beat)
We should've brought our bikes. Your
house seems way farther then it
actually is without us riding a bike.
ANDREW
Well... mine broke-
ANDREW'S FRIEND
Dude you okay... like you've been
like making weird noises for a while
now. Like should we move quicker-
ANDREW
Ya... just that I have a serious
headache
(squeezes his temples)
ya...we should move faster...I just
need to take a nap.
ANDREW'S FRIEND
Well okay then...um you want to like
take the short cut and through their?
ANDREW
Ya sure.
ANDREW'S FRIEND
What...what...what are you doing?
ANDREW
I...i...i don't know
(beat)
Just follow me.
The woods are pitch black, dry, and rough. There are bumps
every where. Roots growing into weird places. Rarely any
moon-light shining though. The camera is static. Until we
hear loud footsteps in the distance. The foots steps grow.
Louder and louder. Coming cloers and colser. Until the enter
the frame. The feet stumble accorss the forest floor,
triping in the process. Andrew falls on the floor. Alone. He
starts to take heavy breaths sitting on the floor. Thinking
about his next move. He gets back up in a rush, frantically
running away from...nothing. As if he is getting chased.
However the pills fall out of his back pocket. Leaving them
on the forest floor.
ANDREW
Don't believe...don't believe... it's
all fake.

Andrew realizes where the pills are. He gets back up, filled
with energy and sprints his way to-
CUT TO:
We see the same static, long take, low angle shot of the
pills. This time we see Andrew's feet enter the frame and
reach for the pills. Picking them up from the mud filled
surface.

CUT TO:
He makes his way out of the deep woods and continues to call
for his friend. More worryingly then beofre. No response. He
looks around the street to find anybody. Anything. Calls
agins louder. Still nothing. He gets impacient and goes
deeper into the safe neighborhood. Nothing. He is alone. He
turns the corner and follows the sidewalk. He hears a engine
of a car beihnf him. He turns around.
Wait.
