INT. HOUSE - LIVING ROOM (DAY)
it is a cloudy day, NOAH, the protagonist is lying down on
the living room couch napping away his depressing thoughts
about his life. SUDDENLY there is a knocking sound coming
from the front door...
NOAH
scratching his head
( )
Huh?
he looks towards
(
the door)
Oh.. it's probably the Amazon man.
he yells
( )
LEAVE THE PARCEL BY THE BIN!
he receives another knock at the front door. This time the
knocking sounds louder and persistent as if the door
knocker is running out of patience.
NOAH (cont'd)
What is this guy on??
NOAH stands up, slowly walks towards the front door,
trembling with anxiety which is slowly growing on him with
every footstep and every door knock. the TV flickers with
static... before NOAH opens the door he carefully pokes
his head to look out of the window... all that can be seen
is a shadow figure wearing dark clothing. NOAH looks
shook.
NOAH (cont'd)
whispering to
(
himself very
quietly)
That is... definitely not the Amazon
man...
He takes a moment to himself to regain his confidence
he yells
( )
WAIT A SECOND!
NOAH opens up the living room door which opens up a small
airlock room which separates the living room to the
outside world. He cannot seem to see anything through the
front door windows... he takes a deep breath to himself
and rapidly opens the front door. He flinches to himself
in fear
NOAH (cont'd)
with confusion
( )
what?? there's no one here??

Within seconds NOAH closes the front door and heads back
to the couch to go back to his nap, still feeling
disturbed by the recent events which have occurred...
suddenly as soon as NOAH sits back down the door knocks
again..
NOAH (cont'd)
with anger this
(
time)
oh for f-...WHO IS IT???
He rapidly approaches the front door this time without a
second thought, once again with immense confidence NOAH
violently opens the front door wide revealing not a single
soul in sight... NOAH takes a second to himself as he
fears he is going into a state of paranoia. Suddenly, the
door behind NOAH slams shut
NOAH (cont'd)
with a tense fear
(
and out of breath)
...what is..going.. on..?
His hand slowly trembles to open the door which slammed
shut... at the same time closing the front door sealing
off an imminent escape route... opening the door slowly
but surely reveals a dark casting shadow looming over
NOAH. NOAH is terrified...
Off camera - NOAH is snatched into the darkness and the
blinds to the living room violently closed... all that can
be heard is NOAH'S bloodcurdling scream which echoes
throughout his neighborhood.
