EXT. DARK WOODLANDS - DAY

An average height man, with dark eyes and slightly lighter

hair was walking through the dark woodlands, he felt
something was off but continued walking, nonetheless. His
name was FINN DECIDUOUS or just Finn. He entered a strange
clearing. Finn looked around curiously, walking up to a tree
with a strange marking he traced it with his fingers before
looking past it and seeing a shadowy figure.

FINN DECIDUOUS
Oh god!

Finn jumped, and hid behind the tree facing away from the
shadowy figure. Finn peered round the tree to see if it was
still there but it was gone.

FINN DECIDUOUS (CONT'D)

The heck was that.

Finn clearly shook but intrigued by this paranormal

occurrence, he turned away and headed home to come back with
a camera to try and record this occurrence.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

EVERGREEN was around five feet three in height and had dark
coloured hair and a dark complexion. The woman walked up to
the mirror cupboard and opened it up taking out some
medication. Lifting her head to the sky she put the
medication in her mouth and swallowed without water. Put the
medication back in the cupboard and closed the mirror
cupboard, she tapped on her phone, revealing the time.
Evergreen then left the bathroom and walked down the carpeted
stairs, seemingly in a rush. Evergreen grabbed her keys from
the table and walked into the hallway. As she entered the
hallway her friend Finn was taking off his wet and slightly
muddy shoes at the front door.

EVERGREEN
You out late last night?

FINN DECIDUOUS
Uh, nah just an early morning
walk.

EVERGREEN
Finn chuck me my shoes.

FINN DECIDUOUS
You in a rush to get somewhere?

Finn passed evergreen her shoes in a timely manner, while

also non-verbally mocking her for always being in a rush.

EVERGREEN
Yeah, cause unlike you I actually
have a job.

Evergreen smirked and chuckled slightly before squeezing past

Finn and leaving the house. As she left, she turned round and
waved at Finn before exiting through the back gate.

FINN DECIDUOUS
Bye...

EXT. BUS STOP - DAY

Evergreen sat at the bus stop waiting for her bus,

frantically checking her phone for the time over and over.
Clearly stressed out, she takes a couple breathes before
standing up, taking a few steps forward and turning her whole
body towards the oncoming bus and sighing.

INT. BUS - CONTINUOUS

Evergreen suddenly jolted awake, looking around being on an

empty bus. Evergreen checked the time on her phone, laid her
head back and sighed.

EVERGREEN
Damn.

She murmured under breathe.

EXT. DARK WOODLANDS - DAY

An open clearing in the woods, the floor looking like a bomb

had dropped the way the floor dipped. Sticks and leaves
covering the ground, the sound of faint screeching and loud
crackling could be heard.

A shadowy figure can be seen in the background as the woods

began to dim. A loud wind noise could also be heard.

CUT TO:

EXT. BUS STOP TWO - MOMENTS LATER

An empty bus stop with bright yellow light shined upon it.
Evergreen stood there while waiting for the bus, seemingly
alone and very tired. Evergreen lent her head on the pole
that was at the bus stop and began to close her eyes

FADE OUT.

Loud tire screeching can be heard as a loud ringing fades in

Man.

BACK TO SCENE

INT. BEDROOM - DAY

Finn pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. Going up to
the drawer on his left he takes out a brown bag and pulls out
an old camera. He takes a moment to look at it before putting
it back in the brown bag and then grabbing a black backpack
and placing the camera in the backpack, then slinging it over
himself and walking out the bedroom.

As finn disappears from the frame a dark shadowy figure

appears at the door, just barely visible.

round.

Finn, you in?

Evergreen shouted after entering the kitchen

Heck does he do all day?

INT. KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS

Evergreen opened the fridge and took a bottle of water, and

lent against the kitchen side, sighing as she just stood
there drinking her water.

A loud bang came from upstairs as if someone was up there

EVERGREEN
Finn? That you?

Evergreen shouted to no response, she placed her water on the

side lid open and began to walk up stairs as she close to the
top another bang could be heard from the bedroom.

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
Yo! Who's there?

Evergreen burst the door open

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
Don't move!

Evergreen let her guard down and sighed

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
I'm going crazy

Evergreen dropped her bag on the floor and sat on the bed,
head in hands

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
What am I doing with my life?

Evergreen moped and suddenly jolted out as another loud bang

could be heard

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
Finn you in the loft?

Evergreen stood and left the bedroom and walked onto the
landing looking up

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
Finn?

Evergreen dropped to her knees and began making violent

choking noises, her front lent down on the floor as she began
violently coughing. She stopped coughing and passed out on
the floor, almost with no break she jolted awake and started
gasping for air. Evergreen caught her breathe and stood.

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
My throat, I need to call the
doctor.

INT. LOUNGE - DAY

Evergreen headed downstairs and walked to the downstairs

landline phone. She typed in her doctors number and it began
ringing. The phone began making crackling sounds.

EVERGREEN
Doc?

Evergreens voice began to tremble as the phone turned to

static.

EVERGREEN (CONT'D)
Doctor Connors please. Hello?

CUT TO:

EXT. DARK WOODLANDS - DAY

Finn swung the camera around

FINN DECIDUOUS
Huh?

Finn looks at ground and points the camera the same way

FINN DECIDUOUS (CONT'D)

Oh, it was just me.

Finn said in a goofy tone, he looked around once more,

swinging the camera sporadically. The camera quality cant
pick up anything amazingly as finn walks around looking for a
glimpse of anything paranormal. Finn continues to walk deeper
in the forest, sweat dripping from his forehead. Finn once
again rubs his hand across the marked tree to see if anything
will happen this time, to his surprise nothing does.

Finn walks towards a pile of logs and sticks and films it on

the camera.

FINN DECIDUOUS (CONT'D)

There's nothing here.

Finn kicks the logs and sticks in a huff. A faint scream

could be heard from behind finn, he swings around and points
the camera in the direction of the scream

FINN DECIDUOUS (CONT'D)

(WHISPERING)
Did you hear that?

Finn steps towards the sound wearily

FINN DECIDUOUS (CONT'D)

That sounded like. Evergreen.

Finn began running towards the scream, panting heavily and

dropping the camera.

INT. HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER

Finn shakily unlocked the door and barged in
