FADE IN

INT. BASEMENT ABANDONED WAREHOUSE – NIGHT

HERE ARE NO WINDOWS AND NO LIGHT COMES THROUGH TO THE

ROOM.

REISS, short, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Lying
on the bare floor, dressed in dirty, ripped black jeans
and a black t-shirt. His hands and legs have been tied up
using rope and squirms trying to free himself from the
binds. There is a long strip of brown tape over his
mouth.

THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN LOUDLY, LETTING LIGHT FLOOD THE

ROOM.

REISS, Eyes open wide with the glimpse of hope as the

light shines through into the room. His face falls when
he sees who it is.

MELODY, Long black hair past her shoulders, big, round

dark brown eyes, dressed in all black outfit. Enters the
room and blocks all the light from the outside by
standing in doorway. She is brandishing a knife and
grinning widely.

REISS, Squirms and struggles more to break free. You can

hear his muffled plea.

MELODY, Smiles devilishly and moves towards him slowly,

humming a gentle lullaby.

CUTS

SHADOWS SHOWN ON THE WALL. SCAREY GIRL LIFTS THE KNIFE

AND MOVES TOWARDS THE SHADOW OF THE BOY.

BOY, deafening scream.

FADE OUT.
