Bruce Mellows, who is dead, follows a hallucination in an attempt to understand what is happening to him. The hallucination leads Bruce to a dark room and reveals a bright door, implying Bruce must pass through to whatever is beyond. The hallucination offers little clarity, only telling Bruce that following will help him understand but also lead to his demise, and that everything happens for a reason. Bruce reluctantly follows the hallucination through the strange door, seeking answers about why he is in this state.

2. FADE IN:
We start with the Bruce Mellows in the bath room trying
to take his pills. This begins to anger him because is
not able to take them because he is dead, Just by the
side of Bruce Mellows is the first sighting of a
hallucination which only the audience sees, Bruce then
decides to go for a walk. Just before he leaves his house
he looks at a picture of his old dog and then looks at
the floor as he walks to the front door of his house. He
walks past a room that only the audience see’s because he
is looking at the floor, this room seems quite messy and
just in front of the door there is a chair which is
fallen over and a piece of rope with a loop in it (noose)
you only see this room for a short second as Bruce leaves
the house.
EXT. Standard Street - Midday
Bruce leaves his house and sees to guys walking with each
other talking about a film (Donnie Darko) he decides to
walk with them and join in with their conversation even
though they can’t hear him can’t here him.
MAN 1
So what you think of Donnie Darko then?
MAN 2
It completely mind fucked me, like what
was the end even about?
BRUCE MELLOWS
Don’t you guys get it? it’s a parallel
univ…
MAN 1
I’m pretty sure it’s just about a kid
who’s messed up in the head.
Bruce Mellows
No! It has a deeper meaning to it
MAN 2
More than likely yeah. They did say
something about the Donnie kid not taking
his pills

3. .2
BRUCE MELLOWS
Please, just listen to me. Stop making me
feel so isolated. I can’t deal with you
guys ignoring me please!
EXT. Small Town
Once the conversation finishes Bruce Mellows finds him
self in a town where there are plenty of people walking
around. The first destination Bruce finds him self at in
the town is the local church, he gets out side the church
and takes a hard long look at the stained glass windows
from the outside, particularly the ones with Jesus. Bruce
then walks towards the main part of the town and among
the crowd of people Bruce sees the hallucination for the
first time. Bruce is now talking to him self because he
desperately needs his medication.
Bruce 1
Maybe I could go to the local doctors
maybe he can sort me out.
Bruce 2
YE,YE,YEAH! Dr Phil is great he’s the one
who give me the pills to stop me from
doing silly things.
Bruce 1
But he’s also the one who wanted me to
stay in the soft white room.
Bruce 2
I hated that p, place it has no windows
and breathing in their feels strange.
Bruce 1
Wait! What was that?
Bruce sees the Hallucination up close with its disturbing
face of darkness with no emotion at all. The
hallucination dose not say or do anything, just looks at
Bruce with an evil glare.

Bruce 2

deal with seeing that everyday no,no way

(Passer by is screaming about God)
Preacher

God
Bruce 2

Bruce 1
Fuck this I can’t stay here much longer

take my mind of it.
EXT. Bruce heads towards the canal to look back on what
has happened on this day. The water calms him and he is
no longer arguing with him self
EXT. Canal

BRUCE 1
The canal isn't going to keep me happy
forever, I need to figure what’s going on

BRUCE 2

Bruce notices the hallucination again and decides to
follow it.
BRUCE 1
What the fuck was that.
BRUCE 2
Piss Off leave me alone, leave me alone!
The hallucination walks along the canal, Bruce decides to
follow it.
HALLUCINATION
seuitur,sequitur,sequitur.
BRUCE 1
What are you saying, please explain what
is going on.
The hallucination disappears and Bruce isn’t sure where
he is going so he just follows the canal all the way
down. Hoping that he can get some answers from the
strange hallucination.
BRUCE 2
Maybe if I keep going this way i can find
some answers maybe ill finally be f,free.
BRUCE 1
Answers, I need answers. Where are you,
come back. What the fuck is going on.
The hallucination speaks out to Bruce in a soft tone
trying to communicate to him properly; this is the first
time the hallucination is talking English.

HALLUCINATION
Follow me
Bruce is to confused to understand what is happening so
his only option is to follow the hallucination, he finds
the hallucination comforting because it’s the only thing
he's been able to make communication with, this makes him
feel less lonely. Bruce follows the hallucination down
the canal until he sees a very dark area, the
hallucination walks in to this area, Bruce then follows
him.
INT.
Dark room, with only one light on Bruce
BRUCE 1
Please explain what’s happening just tell
me, don’t let me down easily I’m ready to
except my fate. There’s nothing I can do
I may just take it as it is.

going up, don't scream for help because
you have no luck.
BRUCE 2

life correctly and i have never broken a
law.
HALLUCINATION
Are you ready?
BRUCE 1
But why, I don't want to go down I don't
deserve this, please have mercy!

Everything happens for a reason, are you
ready to leave?
