FADE IN:
EXT. MAIN HOUSE. NIGHT
We start with a wide shot of the house a bright light in
the corner of the screen as the camera slowly moves
closer and closer to the house the street is silent.
INT. MAIN HOUSE. NIGHT
The camera slowly moves through the door way a close up
of Dave (eighteen) shaking and sweating a shadow towering
over his bed.
EXT. DREAM WORLD HOUSE. NIGHT
A third person view of Dave staring at his house
everything is pitch black except from his house and a
lamp post with a dim light out side of the house. Dave
looks around confused wondering what was going on. Dave
slowly walk towards the front door and steps inside.
INT. DEATH SCENE. NIGHT
Dave turns into the living room he sees a black
silhouette hanging from the roof. 360 view of Dave
confused and scared.
DAVE
Hello are you alright. Hello.
INT. DEATH SCENE. NIGHT
Dave runs over and places the dark figure on the ground
he realises that its his next door neighbour. He runs to
the front door scared. (Bang) Dave hears a nock on the
door behind him he turns around he sees a shadow. The
shadow looked like a reaper holding a sharp scythe with
rugged cloak after seeing the shadow he awoke sweating in
his bed.
.2
EXT. COLLEGE STREET. 3 A.M.
This is a wide shot of Dave with some of his friends we
see Dave split up from his friend to walk home.
DAVE
Bye guys
As he says bye he hears a scream from down the street and
he sees smoke pouring from the house windows he runs over
and enters the house.
EXT. BURNING HOUSE. 3 A.M.
Dave runs into the house and covers his face with his t-
shirt he sees someone lying on the floor (you hear a
heart beat in the background) he runs to see if the
person is ok as he touches the person to see if they are
ok. Camera cuts to view of Dave’s shadow as he touches
the person the shadow swings the scythe at the person
(The heartbeat in the background stops). Dave checks for
a pulse but feels nothing he carry’s the person out of
the house and calls 911.
INT. PSYCHOLOGIST OFFICE. 3:30 P.M.
Dave goes to see a Psychologist to talk about the visions
and dream he has been having he also tells the
psychologist what happened with the person he touched in
the burning house about the sound of the heartbeat.
Dave knocks on the door.
(Knock Knock)
DAVE
Hello
.3
PSYCHOLOGIST
Come in. Whats wrong Dave?
DAVE
I have been having these visions and
dreams of people dying these people I
have seen in my dreams are people that I
have tried to help and when I help things
go wrong and they die I didn't know who
to talk to about this. The people that I
helps hearts stop beating when I touch
them I also keep seeing a dark figure
where ever I go but the first time I had
seen it was in my nightmare. I feel as if
something dark and evil has latched on to
me. I think that Im the reason people are
dying.
PSYCHOLOGIST
How long have these dreams been going on.
How many people have you seen die?
DAVE
I have been having them for a while but
it wasn't until today that someone I
touched died. I have seen articles of
people in my dreams having unexpected
deaths but I thought nothing of it until
now.
Psychologist places and on Dave’s Shoulder to comfort
him.
PSYCHOLOGIST
I don't think that you have anything to
do with the deaths I think your just
depressed. Depression causes people to
see and think things.
.4
Dave paces back and forth
DAVE
I’m telling you the truth I'm not lying
know its my fault. It scares me and makes
me feel guilty as I blame myself for
their deaths as it has to be my fault my
dreams and visions have come true and
innocent people are dying. I also se a
dark figure it looks like a grim reaper I
have only seen it two times but one was
in my dreams.
PSYCHOLOGIST
A shadow? Thats eccentric I have never
heard about it before. It must just be a
side effect of depression. I can give you
some medication but you need to stop
thinking this way the deaths of those
people aren't your fault you where just
in the wrong place at the wrong time.
DAVE
But what about my dreams the visions I
have been having the dark shadow.
The Psychologist comforts Dave.
PSYCHOLOGIST
I think that your depression is causing
you to create memories that where never
there that never happened. I can get you
some medication and hopefully that will
help. Your not harming your self are you.
Dave sees the reapers shadow behind the Psychologist.
Dave hears a voice.
VOICE
Kill Her
Dave shivers
.5
DAVE
I have to go I don't want to hurt you.
PSYCHOLOGIST
DAVE WAIT
The door slams shut as Dave runs off

around his neighbours house and police cars he sees a
body being carried out of the house in a body bag.
INT. HOUSE/HOME. 5:00 P.M.

DAVE
Mom? Mom?
Dave shouts


MOTHER

Nothing. Well actually I have been having
these visions I keep seeing a dark figure
and I think I am the reason for people
dying. Like are neighbour He was in my
dream last night and he died and now he
is dead their has to be a connection.
MOTHER
Don't be silly its not your fault thats
impossible.
.6
DAVE
I dreamt about his death I know it sounds
weird but I did. I must be the reason
he’s dead. And I cant live with my self
knowing I have done this to people.
Dave’s mother hugs him as she tries to comfort him.
