FLASHBACK
Him and
his friends are in a dark, giant room and they hear something. His friends beat
him up and leave.
FLASH
FORWARD
He is
still clutching his legs close to his chest. Then he hears footsteps coming
closer to him. He peaks around the corner. He screams as something rushes
toward him.

gets up out of his bed and walks away.

Jared’s wife, NATALIE, wakes up, turns to his side of the bed. He’s gone and
his alarm clock is at 5:59 AM. It beeps as it turns to 6:00.

4. Jared
is sitting on the couch watching a kids puppet show. Natalie walks in and stands
behind him on the couch.
Natalie:
Good
morning, honey.
He looks
up at her and she bends down to kiss him.
Jared:
Morning.
Natalie:
Sleep
well?
He bites
his lip and doesn’t answer.
Natalie:
It was
that dream, again? Wasn’t it?
He looks down. She sits next to him.
Jared:
I don’t
understand it...I’ve had scary dreams before and I could handle them, but this
one...It continues to happen. Every night for months now. And I’m not used to
it yet. I’m always afraid. Every time.
She looks
down, unsure of what to do.
Natalie:
Do you
want to make another appointment with the doctor?
Jared:
(Groans)
I’m tired... (Gets up and walks away from the couch) ...of going to the doctor!
You heard him yourself! There’s nothing wrong with me!
Natalie:
Then what
else do we do?
Jared:
(Under
his breath) I don’t know.
Natalie:
What did
you say?
Jared
explodes and knocks over a vase.
Jared:
I DON’T
KNOW!
The vase
hits the ground and shatters. Jared storms off. She looks at the floor and
starts to cry.
Cut

5. Black.
