1A.
EXT. SMOKING AREA - DAY
JAY is having a cigarette in the smoking area by himself
looking bluntly at the college grounds. (Throughout the
whole script, keep reoffering back to the smoking area)
MOTHER- (V.O.)
In any story, there's always the
good guys and there's always the
bad. Usually the good guys win and
the bad loose, but in this story,
with people that hold a power they
are neither good or bad. A power
that each human possesses chooses
the person's fortune; how they use
the power decides whether they're
the good or the bad. Whichever
power they have and how they use it
shows the type of person that they
are, and however dark that person
can be, suddenly they can evolve
from the best to the worst.
Jay breathes the smoke out and continues to stay seated
within the smoking area. (smoke blurrs vision to next scene)

EXT. FIELD SURROUNDED BY TREES - DAY
MOTHER- (V.O.)
Those gifted enough to withhold a
power are those usually less
fortunate. Jay, a young boy only
aged 18, lost his mother due to an
unfortunate coincidence. Or was it
a planned event? Jay now attends
Ground View College within the city
of cambridge where he lives.
Without having anyone or anything
to watch over him, he lives by
himself and keeps himself, to
himself.
A group of boys are seen in the field all wearing black
hoodies and looking at the floor, they suddenly all turn
their heads and their eyes appear glazed.(See reversed time)
MOTHER- (V.O.)
The bad guys, stereotypically,
would be those three in the black.

characters)

GIRL 1
Do you know his power?
GIRL 2
No, nobody does, i don't think that
i've ever even heard him speak.
GIRL 1
What's wrong with him?
The two girls spot jay.One of the girls clicks her fingers,
(slow time down) jay looks confused, shrugs subtly and
carries on smoking.
MOTHER (V.O.)
Jay's a quiet boy now, he never
used to be, he was a happy boy full
of life, smiling all the time.
Life, i remember how it used to be,
its changed, since i've woken up,
since jay woke me up.
