Drama: Suspense

by Clayton Duncan

Created on: March 07, 2007

Scene 1

(INT. Camera slowly pans down from black to show a man sleeping in bed in the dark from a top angle)

Man: (snoring) Zzzzzzz.

(INT. Camera shows the bed from a front angle)

(Angel poofs from thin air beside bed)

Angel: Wake up!
Man: (still sleeping) Huh? (turns over slowly)
Angel: Get up Sam! (throws off cover)
Sam: (rubs eyes and begins to sit up, turns on lamp) Ahh! Who are you!?


Angel: I, (coughs) am an angel. I have been sent to inform you that you must kill one person in your family before midnight tonight. If you don't, well let's just say a very bad place awaits you. But if you do, eternal paradise awaits.
Sam: B-but why?
Angel: I cannot explain it to you until it is done! It's just something that heaven needs to be done, and quick!
Sam: Why should I do it? Plus you're not even real this is probably all a weird dream. (lays back down and turns away)
Angel: (angered) You stupid human! (points finger at Man and begins to choke him with power)
Sam: (gasps for breath then chokes out)ok ok
Angel: (lets grasp go)
Sam: (quickly inhaling big breaths)
Angel: (smirks) Well I think that's enough proof this is real, hehe, and don't forget! (poofs away)
Sam: (still breathing hard and looking shocked)

(INT. Camera pans to show top angle again then fades to black)




Scene 2

(INT. Camera focused on man's face in mirror to make it seem like it's just him and not a reflection.)

Sam: (looking straight ahead for a few seconds)

(INT. Camera zooms out a little to show that Sam is looking in a mirror)

Sam: I can't believe I'm doing this (looks down)

(INT. Camera pans down when Sam looks down to show a knife then zooms out a little more)

Sam: Well let's get this over with (picks up knife and starts to leave the room)

(INT. Camera zooms out to show whole room as man leaves and stays for 2 seconds after Sam leaves)

Scene 3

(INT. Camera is focused on Sam's upper back and head as he walks down the hallway.)

Sam: (still walking) Hey Son! Dan!
Dan: (calling from other room) Yes Dad!
Sam: (stops walking as he reaches the entrance to the room the son is in) I have something to show you.

(INT. Camera pans down to show knife that man is holding behind his back and stays in this spot as man enters the room)

Dan: (watching TV) What is it Dad?
Sam: (continues to walk to his son and turns toward the side of him as to not reveal the knife)

(INT. Camera cuts to show Sam and Dan fully from a slightly diagonal angle to show the mans back with the knife and the front of the son)

Sam: I'm sorry, but this is something I have
