INT. HER KITCHEN NIGHT

The kitchen is dimly lit and the tension grips the room with a
suffocating completeness akin to smothering a small child.
A woman stands there in the light, her hair is dishevelled and a
button up shirt hangs loosely off her thin body.
Her face is framed by sweat stained strands of hair and the bags under
her eyes look as if theyve been packed to travel the globe.
A dozen eggs lay in a chaotic mess on the counter and each one has a
face drawn on with permanent marker.
The eggs do not move. The only thing that moves is the slow expanding
and contracting of the womans chest. She begins to edge slowly
towards the counter and slides her hands towards one of the eggs. Her
fingers waltz slowly around the beautiful curves and she begins to
gently caress it. Softly, she begins to hum to herself. It is an eerie
sound that stirs from the pits of her stomach, escaping as a harsh
growl like a rake through wet concrete.
