INT. ANDRE’S ROOM - 3:46AM
We fade into Andre playing a First-Person Shooter on his PC.
We see his body covering the screen and the computer screen
creates a silhouette of his body.
Then the camera switches to his glasses and we can see the
reflection of the First-Person Shooter that he is playing
We zoom into Andre concentrating on the game

[SCENE 2]
INT. Kitchen - 4:13am
As he heads downs stairs, he hears some weird noises in the
kitchen, as he peeks into the kitchen he sees no none, so he
proceeds to turn on the lights in the kitchen. As he opens
the fridge & takes a cold drink and some bread with Butter.
He Closes the Fridge, puts the Butter on the Bread and puts
It into the toaster.
Lights Flicker
(Andre Thinks to himself)
Ugh, kind of gotten chilly in here
As he looks back he sees the Fridge’s door Is open, He
closes the Fridge’s door & as he goes back to the toaster he
sees the Bread Is on the floor
ANDRE
What the hell Is going on!?
As he shouts that out loud, the door slams shut right In
front of him.
Toaster
Where are you going Andre hmm?
Andre Turns Around

4. Toaster
What… never heard a talking toaster before.
As Andre turns around to run out the door He slams into the
Refrigerator.
REFRIGERATOR
I Don’t Think so Andre…
SOFT MYSTERIOUS VOICE
Andre…
Andre Screams in fear as he’s trapped between the two
talking objects. As he crawls backwards, he hears the voice
again.
Mysterious Voice
Andre, Wake Up…
Toaster
I Guess someone is waking him up… we will
see you very soon Andre, sooner than you
expect…
CUT TO BLACK
MYSTERIOUS VOICE
ANDRE WAKE UP!
Andre jumps out his Chair In fear.

5. ANDRE
Mom what just happened!?
Andre’s Mom
What? I just came back from work and I
found you sleeping In the chair now get
ready, you’ve got work In an hour.
Andre looks at his Phone
6:37am
ANDRE’s Inside Voice
An hour left till work I can just drink
some red bull and I’ll be fine
Andre gets ready for work and heads out
9 Hours Later
Andre Comes back home. He heads to his room and relaxes In
his Chair.
Andre’s Inside Voice
No I Shouldn’t go to sleep… if I do, they
will get to me for sure - and what If no-
one wakes me up? What the hell would happen
to me if I was stuck there?
5 Hours Later
Andre watches a movie while drinking red bull, & slowly
drifts to sleep.

6. Andre’s Inside voice
Woah NO! I won’t fall asleep… I need more
red bull.
Andre heads downstairs into the kitchen. He grabs a couple
of red bulls and tries to run out as the door slams into his
face.
Toaster
You Can’t escape from us, Andre.
Andre
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?
Toaster
Nothing, really. We’re just bored and you
are just our entertainment. Fridge, finish
him - Oh and let me tell you the only way
you can escape this is Death or not going
to sleep.
The Refrigerator falls on Andre & then everything goes
black.
(Andre wakes up In fear Breathing heavily)
CUT TO ANDRE ON THE PHONE
ANDRE
Yes, I’m sorry boss… I can’t make it today.
I have this medical Issue today and I can’t
make It. I’m sorry.
Andre sits down next to his computer and Researches Dreams.
We see a clock as the time passes. 10 hours later We see
Andre drifting asleep.

7. Andre wakes up by his computer.
Andre
Hmm!?? Did I fall asleep? How the hell do I
check… ah forget it.
Andre locks his door In panic and barricades It with the
stuff in his room. The door knob moves, then we hear a
knock.
Andre
WHO’S THERE!? WHAT DO YOU WANT!?
Andre’s Mom’s Voice
Andre… Andre… Andree
Andre
Mom!? A Give me a second
Andres inside Voice
Ah… Its mom so I didn’t fall asleep. Thank
god.
Andre opens the door and there’s no one there.
Toaster
Oh, that was too easy. Have you forgotten
that all of this Is In your head? We can
manipulate everything you see or hear.
Andre Turns around.
Toaster
That was classic… now listen to me
carefully you will never escape us. You
will be our toy until you die. Do you
understand?

8. As Andre turns around and Is about to run out, the
refrigerator blocks his way.
Toaster
Told you that you can’t escape. Just accept
your fate and stop trying to escape us… Now
let’s get to my favourite part. Fridge, you
know what to do.
As the refrigerator is about to fall on him, Andre stands
up, closes his eyes and shouts.
Andre
ENOUGH! I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS ALL I WANT
IS TO HAVE A NORMAL NIGHT OF SLEEP SO LEAVE
ME ALONE!!
Andre Opens his eyes and sees that there’s nothing there
anymore.
Flashback to Andre reading on the web when he was
researching.
Andre
Sleep Walking, No… this isn’t. It’s not
daydreaming, not Lucid Dreams, No that’s
not it…
Ah okay… found it. Nightmares.
Andre
(reading off his screen quietly)
Nightmares are like leeches… they feed on
fear. You have to change your fear into
another emotion like Anger or Love to get
rid of the nightmare leech otherwise it
will continue to leach on you until you
give out and don’t give him anything to
feed on.
Andre Wakes up in his bed relived, breathing heavily again.
Andre
I think that’s it… I think it’s gone

9. Andre goes back to bed. the camera pans out and we can see
Andre smiling for the first time as he falls asleep.
