Present.

United Kingdom.

Chasewater.

Evening.

A VULNERABLE TEENAGE BOY, 17 years of age, wearing a dark

hooded jacket and jeans is meandering the hilly paths of

a quiet rural landscape, at the fall of day.

Crouched hidden in a bush is an AVERAGE GIRL, wearing

dark clothing, heavy eye makeup and has a crazed look

upon her face and is secretly marking the MALE CHARACTER.

A text alert is heard and THE BOY inspects his left

trouser pocket for his phone. He receives a text from anunknown number saying I can see you his expression is

anxious and troubled as he proceeds to walk and tries to

act anonymous to the events that just occurred.

THE BOY begins to look uncomfortable as he hears a series

of whispers. I know what you did. I am everywhere you

go. You cant escape me. They danced around his head

and he became distressed, panicked and started to run

towards a dark dank forest. His breathing increases the

further into the forest he goes. The sounds of his

footsteps on the ground beneath him were heavy as he

dashes deeper into the forest. He comes to a stop in an

opening where a large oak is mounted opposite to where he

was standing. He hears the noise of a branch cracking and

some leaves rustling in the distance. He take his phone

in his right appendage and dials the unknown number that

previously text him. He glances up from HIS phone and

cried Whos out there?! with a terror stricken tone.

A silhouette of a FEMALE appears underneath the tree,

crouching close to the ground as if waiting to jump onher pray.

He shifts uneasily as if he knows it is his final

encounter in this world. He glances all around HIM,

taking in every tiny detail. Primarily to the left, and

how the leaves move when a gentle breeze passes over

them. Secondly, admiring how the clouds evade across the

sky bringing misery as they sweep swiftly on to a new

place. Conclusively how the birds glide freely and

assemble a skein in the sky. As his gaze subsequently

stops and locks onto the silhouette, he has a look of

dismay about his face, nevertheless he also looks

satisfied and grateful of the life he has attained.

Unexpectedly, the GIRL darts from under the tree, towards

the boy, withholding a knife in a tight grasp in her

hand. The boy stays still as if his feet are tied to theground preventing him from escaping this confrontation.

She raises her hand above her head and within a few short

moments forces it down, penetrating the knife through the

BOYS heart. He falls to the ground without a battle as

blood cascades out of his chest. He lies there with his

eyes open, scarcely, and he looks as though his life was

squandering out of him slowly and painfully. His hand

falls upon the knife and evicts it from his body, and

then throws it onto the foreign land of the forest

canvas. He specifically places HIS hand over HIS heart as

if to hold onto all the memories HE has had throughouthis life. His index finger murmurs and he sees the world

for a final time as his eyes curtain on his journey in

this cruel world.

She stands over his body watching him cross the territory

between the living and the dead. She walks clockwise

around his body inspecting her work. She parades back

towards the oak tree, moving silently into the dusk of

day hunting for her next victim.

A PAPER BOY/GIRL, saunters towards there next delivery.

He/She pushes the newspaper through the letterbox

carelessly and carries on down the quiet street in a

housing estate. The Newspaper falls onto the matt the

other side, front cover facing upwards. On the front is

an image of a GIRL sat glumly in a chair, holding herself

around her torso, dried mascara plastered down her cheeks

as though she had been crying. The picture is accompanied

with the heading Murder or revenge?
