1 INT. TOY BOX. DAY
Surrounded by darkness a stuffed ELEPHANT toy sits alone,
the material placing her together is tattered and long
piece of thread witch once stitched her together is pooled
around her.
The sound of LAUGHTER grabs her attention and she peers
over the toy box to investigate.
A group of toys play together and she watches in awe.
she attempts to climb out of the toy box. She places her
arms on the box’s edge and pushes up.
She’s almost out-- however a strong tug on the thread that
stitches her pulls her back into the darkness.
The toys beckon the elephant to come out and she staggers
upright.
She climbs up the toy box once more with clear
determination, though another tug pulls her into the dark
abyss of the toy box.
She falls down, hands and arms flailing in the process-- a
hand appears, it grasps her own and thus ceases her
plummet.
The new toy pulls her out of the toy box and in her free
hand is a large pair of scissors.
The elephant flinches, however to her surprise the new toy
doesn’t hurt her and simply cuts the pieces of thread.
She stares at the thread which once held her back in awe--
she is free.
2 INT. BEDROOM. DAY
The new toy takes the elephant gently by the hand. The
elephant hesitantly takes a step forward and with further
encouragement from the new toy they join in playing with
the other toys.
