1. INT. IN MILAS HOUSE 1- DAY
CLOSE UP
MILA Wakes up (panting heavily) dressed in pyjamas, the
distraught face slowly morphs into confusion from the strange
nightmare. MILA busies herself by frantically searching for
her phone, to her relief she finds and sees notifications from
WhatsApp, Facebook, and Snapchat. Subconsciously, she scrolls
down her phone ignoring it with the nightmare still fresh in
her mind. Mila shrugs of the vivid nightmare and gets up from
bed.

the clothes, she starts the panic and hyperventilates, she
screams from utter fear

6. And again the notifications wake her up. Her body still,
petrified. She continues to hyperventilate.
MILA’S eyes open wide, her corpse-like body dripping in
perspiration, wipes her sweat. Notifications are still
sounding, faster and faster. She picks up her phone, again
reads through the notifications. Someone has died.
