The document is a script for a post-apocalyptic story told through recorded tapes found after the event. It summarizes two scenes: in the first, a news report celebrates 50 years since the discovery of a vaccine that ended the apocalypse. The second scene follows two survivors, Matt and Dan, as they search a wooded area and shop for supplies while Matt records their journey on a tape recorder, despite Dan's objections.

Script – Version Two
Scene One - INT – Day
1. SOUND: Intro music for the news
2. NEWS REPORTER: Today, we are celebrating the 50th
anniversary to the end of the apocalypse. It’s been 50
years today since Marcus Jones, a 48-year-old scientist
at the time, discovered the vaccination. He died at the
age of 93 a little over 5 years ago but he will be
remembered for many years to come. Never heard before
tape recordings that were found during the clean up of
the aftermath of the apocalypse. They have been edited
into short Thirty-minute sectors and will be played
every weekday at 6.30pm over a four-week period, and
maybe, these tapes will allow us to get a better
insight of what happened all those years ago.

would be safer than walking on the streets-
7. DAN: What are you doing?...
8. MATT: I’m commentating our journey… anyway, I’m Matt by
the way, I’m 22 and I used to be an engineer before the
end of the world began. I’m sure its been about 8
months, maybe more, since it all started.
9. DAN:(OFF MIKE) Its been almost a year now, and this is
not even a forest, its just a few trees, it’s the
quickest way to the shop
10. MATT: Wait, does this mean I’m 23? wow…anyway, that
was Dan, he might be like 28 or something now, he used
to be a… erm… I actually don’t know

living.
