The planning-5/8

(jack is walking down the street. He is in deep thought. He feels relived. He is calm and stable minded.)

Okay that was not how the session went down.i tried.but don't know how a session works.yeah I never went to Stacy's doctor. Obviously .I don't think any doctor would say that.The whole thing was a metaphor. Hope you got it. Anyways that was what took me in a whole new direction.

(A hand pulls him into an ally.)

( It is late evening. Jack is in an old dirty ally. The city ruins. There are big broken walls and buildings. Jack is prepared and slightly angry. He is also worried and slightly scared. In front of him are 5 men from his class. one of them is the one who fought jack in the college corridor the other day-brendan. They look confident and in full on rage mode. They are gonna enjoy what's going to happen)

Brendan- I don't think mrs Stacy would jump in to save your ass this time.

Jack- I see you got your buddies to save yours.

Brendan- (he takes off his t shirt to reveal his muscular body) oh. They just wanted to see what happens to jack after he dies.

Jack- spoiler alert: he erases zingol from existance.

Brendan-(advancing towards jack, slowly with poise)big talk from a guy who can only be a hero in his own story

Jack-(he is scared but he doesn't want to show it. He wants to hold up his self respect and masculinity) well....this is technically a part of my story....so...(smiles) it's safe to say that jack...has nothing to worry about.

(The guy stops. He stares, aghast. He stares up behind jack.He takes a few steps back. Jack's shadow starts to grow larger. Brendan is frightened. The Shadow continues to grow and starts to fill the place with darkness. His friends are also terrified. They start to walk backwards. The change in their faces is just too unfitting. But they don't seem to care about jack anymore. Their unfinished fight. Their grace. What took over? They start to run. run like their life depended on it. Brendan also starts to run along with them. Had to admit they also looked hilarious. But jack didn't acknowledge it because is slightly scared too. But more confused. He looks Behind him. There is nothing. No one. What just happened? He has had experiences like this before. But now, He doesn't feel scared. He thinks he knows what is happening. He thinks. He slowly smiles.)

(Jack is sleeping peacefully. He wakes up, confused and surprised but it is subtle.)

everyday he was no longer afraid to dream nor was he to wake up.

(Waking up. Same shot. Different posture)

every night piled him up with random yet curious series of experiences.

(He tries to map every dream in a book on his study table . Then restlessly start tapping the pen on the book trying to think)

And he decided to record his every dream not because he wanted decifer the code to the hidden treasure. he just found the dreams fascinating. Vague. Abstract. Beautiful . But he had a hard time remembering them.So he planned to try harder

(Motivational music)

(Jack waking up. He is sleeping on his back. He opens his eyes. smiles. On the ceiling painted brightly-
" remember you dreams")

(Jack scratching his head sitting on his study table.)

Maybe that didn't help how much he thought it would.

(He bends over to write.)

but he did put more effort into it.

(Jack, happily lying on the bed and turning the night lamp off.)
