EXT. "WALKING PATH" - FOGGY AFTERNOON
SAMAJ (gulp): I can't see anything. Why did the Fog have to roll in now! This path is now scarier than before, I see why my mom told me not to never take this path home. (doublethink) I am a Man, I ain't scared!
A SCARY VOICE begins whispering.
GAME TITLE: Don't Look Back!
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): (whisper) Don't look back.
SAMAJ: What was that sound?!
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): (whisper) Don't look back.
SAMAJ (wheezing): Who said that?
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): (whisper) Don't...Look...Back...
Checkpoint #1
SAMAJ (debating): Should I look back?
He slowly starts to turn around.
He turns completely around.
_________________________________________________________
When you turn around completely:
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): I told you not to turn around, and you did not listen. (evil laugh) You know what happens to young adults who don't listen right?
SAMAJ (gulp): Uh...
Scary Voice interrupts.
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): WE... (JUMP SCARE) SCARE THEM!
SAMAJ: Ahhhhhhhh!
Automatically restart, but proceeds forward.
_________________________________________________________
He quickly turns forward.
SAMAJ: Nope, I am not looking back. I am not that stupid. You might think that, but that's not me!
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): You sure about that?!
He slowly moves backwards.
SAMAJ: What the heck. I can't control my body.
Inhale
Exhale
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): You are weak, just like the rest, and you are right where I want you. You are in my playground.
SAMAJ (angry): I am not weak! I will not turn around. You can't make me!
He starts running forward.
SCARY VOICE (V.O.): Ahhh! I will get you, don't... you... worry!
Samaj looks ahead and notices an Inflatable NightClub blocking the path.
SAMAJ (comes to a stop): Uh, what the heck? An Inflatable NightClub over here? I have to be dreaming! Am I? Why would someone just have this on the path like this.
He enters the Inflatable Night Club.
INT. INFLATABLE NIGHTCLUB - FOGGY AFTERNOON
Inside there is a stage with pyro flickering.
Samaj walks to the middle, then comes to a stop & looks at the stage in front of him.
SAMAJ (scratching head): Uh, what the heck? I can't move past & I can't look back? What am I to do?
Smoke activates on the stage, the lights shut off, then turn back on. Five Men appear on stage standing with their backs towards Samaj.
He rubs his eyes.
