When he realizes his situation, he has to figure out the difference between his reality, and his hallucinations. Within his head he meets this dark figure.

Scene 1 - Opening screen Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPt08UYmyMo In slow motion (Boy riding a bike which holds a red balloon down an isolated suburban street. There is nothing but the sound of silence. Boy continues riding. The camera follows and then loses focus on the child. The camera picks back up on the child and shows him riding in a circle. It is never ending. The boy goes faster and faster until eventually the screen goes blank.) There is a short pause and then music starts to play and eventually fades into the boy who is still riding his bike. (Next sequence happens in slow motion) He has no emotion. He continues riding his bike and the music is still playing bringing suspense to the audience. The camera zooms in closer to the child and catches the chain coming undone. The chain slowly comes off the track and causes the boy to lose control. In slow motion you see the bike losing control and the boy flying off the bike. The bike flies in one direction and skids the ground. The boy flies in a different direction. We see him flying in the air gracefully. Still no emotion from the boy. The red balloon is shown floating away from the accident, slowly. The boy eventually starts to be pulled by gravity and his head hits the ground, hard. The balloon is shown floating further out of focus into the never-ending sky. The boy lays upon the ground unconscious in a pool of his own blood, still no emotion. The bike is shown and wheels are still spinning. The screen goes blank and silent

Scene 2 - Credits The title screen pops up. Song Starts: Ice Cream Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_qCT0BclQQ While the credits are rolling a couple things are shown. (ALL IN ( black and white) QUICK SEQUENCES) - From a dark screen a dark figure wearing a cloak starts walking towards the camera.

- A boy is shown sitting on top of a ladder - A single balloon popping is shown - The boy is shown laying on the ground next to the ladder - Then the dark figure is shown closer - The boys ear is shown leaking blood. - Then the dark figure appears closer than before - A spider is shown. - Then the dark figure is closer - The spider is shown crawling onto the dark figures hand - It stands there while the spider crawls on him. He laughs. The camera zooms in and out of control on the dark figures face. The dark figure then quiets. He takes his finger and puts it to his mouth. Dark Figure - "Shh!" He then turns around and walks back into the darkness.

Scene 3 - ICU From an ambulance truck, the boy is quickly taken out on a stretcher and rolled into the hospital. The hospital is empty except for the Doctor, a nurse and the boys parents who are along side him. The only sound heard is the screeching wheels and hard breathing. The walls are white and the lights are dim. They push the stretcher further into the hospital. Doctor - "Make sure he is breathing, Nurse." Nurse - "I'm trying sir. He doesn't look to well." Doctor - "How is his pulse?" Nurse - "It's there, but it's weak." They keep pushing the stretcher. The lights flicker on and off. The stretcher seems to leave a trail of blood that seems to glow in the dim lights. The trails gets longer as they get further. Doctor- "I am going to have to ask the parents to wait in the waiting area."

They push him into the ICU. The camera stays on the doors as they close. The lights keep flickering. You then see a shadow figure in the corner of the screen. The nurse comes out. Nurse - "I will inform you guys on his progress." She then runs back into the ICU. The camera shows the parents in the hallway. You can see Graham wrap his arms around Sophie. She then buries her face in his chest.

Scene 4 - The Hands An eye appears on the screen. It stays shut for a few seconds. Then quickly the eye opens. The eye looks side to side in worry. The camera slowly drifts away from the eye to show a face, then a torso with the head as a whole. The camera is shown from above looking down on the boy. The boy looks around without moving his head, he can't move his body. He eyes keeps looking right, then left, then right, and then left again. The boy bites his lip to make sure he is awake. He keeps biting his lip over and over again as he keeps looking right, then left, right, and then left again. The boy stops. He lays there. At this point the boy catches his grip and looks around the cold dark room. He keeps looking to see if maybe he see's anyone that can give him some kind of social dignity to keep sane. He looks but fails to find anything to make him think he is okay. The boy feels something. He feels his bed slightly moving. He looks and see's a red balloon that is tied to his bed drifting side to side as if someone were to blow it. The boy takes a deep breathe and looks back up to the ceiling where he can see nothing but darkness. He lays there for a minute or two. The bed stops moving. The boy sighs with relief. All of a sudden hands come from under the hospital bed and grab him. He can feel the weight of the hands on his body. They were each placed perfectly on him to make a leotard of hands. The boy then gasp and the hands go away. The boy keeps looking up, no emotion. Another tear falls down on the opposite cheek than before. Then all of a sudden two hands appear from under the bed in slow motion, with two walking fingers. The hands stop. The boy looks right to see a hand standing there and then looks left to see another hand standing there, as well. The boy looks up and nods his head up and then down. The hands quickly grab the boys neck. THE BOY JUST LAYS THERE STILL WITH NO EMOTION. The boy is still not able to move his body, but he was somehow able to move his head. He has no way to help

himself. So he just lays there and closes his eyes. The lights start to flicker, on and off, repeatedly. The lights shut off for a second and then back on. Once the lights stay on the hands are gone. There is silence for a second. Then the balloon pops and out pours this red substance we call blood.

Scene 5 - Hello, Doctor The camera is now on the boys parents and the Doctor. Sophie - "Doctor, is my son going to be okay?" Doctor - "He seems to he holding on, but keep your fingers crossed. He did suffer a severe head injury. He is unconscious at the moment." Graham - "Do you mean to tell me that my son has a chance of dieing?" Doctor - "It is possible, but our Doctors here are special. They will try at every cost to get your son back to the stability he was at before the incident." Sophie - "He is our only son, Doctor. Losing him would take a toll of both Graham and I." Short Pause Doctor - "May I ask you something?" Graham - "Sure, anything." Doctor - "Do you think by any chance that Parker may have tried to hurt himself. Don't get me wrong I don't want to believe that, but somehow I don't think he is trying to wake up. It's almost like he is stuck in another world." Sophie - "How can you say that? Our son is one of a kind." Graham - "Its true, I don't think our son would be someone who would potentially try and kill himself." Doctor - "So? There has been no sign of depression, or isolation? Sometimes when a kid goes through some sort of traumatizing event they lose their focus on reality and they live inside their head. It is like closure of some sort." Sophie - (Walks away while saying) "This is bullshit." Graham - "Excuse her, she isn't taking this very well. I mean it's hard seeing your son in a hospital to begin with, more or less hearing he put himself here

on purpose." Doctor - "Either way, everything happens for a reason." The camera points to the dad as he nods in agreement. Doctor - "I will let you know if his situation improves, but at the time please make yourself at home." They walk their separate ways then the camera goes back to the boy.

Scene 6 - The Dark Figure The boy still lays there in the bed. He still has no emotion. The camera is on him for a couple seconds. His fingers start to twitch. He then realizes that he can now move his hands. Someone walks into the room. The feet are shown walking closer to the boy. The boy is shown, then the camera switches to the feet which stop beside the bed. The camera goes up the leg slowly and traces the body of the feet. The camera glides to the hands of the anonymous person who is holding a string that is tied to a balloon. The person ties the balloon to the bed. The boy still looking up looks at the balloon. He looks to see the person who tied it there, but he only sees a silhouette. The boy then looks back up towards the ceiling. At this point another tear comes from the boys eye. Short Pause Boy - " Who, who are you?" The figure then places two fingers on the bed. The fingers start to make their way to the boys mouth slowly. They get closer, and closer. Once his fingers reach the boys mouth he puts one finger on the boys lips. The Figure - "When one thing is taken advantage of, it is often taken away and something else must become golden to take its place." The figure then points to the red balloon. The lights flicker off and then back on. The figure is gone. The boy lays there in confusion.

Parker - (Thinking to himself) "What is going on? Why is this happening? Where is he? How did he get here?"

The boys looks at the balloon in wonder.

Parker - "What does this balloon have to do with anything? Why is it that the balloon is floating so lightly as if nothing is even wrong with this situation? "

The boy looks back up at the ceiling and takes a deep breathe.

Parker - (Still talking in his head) "If I can move my fingers it won't be long till I can move my hands, then my feet. I will be mobile soon"

He thought as he tried to move his limbs that are pronounced feet. To his belief they started moving. He could feel his body. He was alive in motion. He then makes his way to sit up on the bed. He looks to his left to see the balloon. He flicks it. Parker - "Stupid balloon" The boy sits there and starts biting his lip. The room is cold. The room is silent. He scratches his arm and looks around the room. He jumps onto his feet and walks to the door in hopes that he can just open it and have out of this room. He gets to the door and turns the door handle. The door is locked. He puts his mouth to the door. Parker - "Hello! Is anyone out there?" He bangs on the door. Parker - "Please, can someone hear me?" He bangs on the door again. He stands there looking at the door. Just staring at it in hopes that it will somehow open. BANG! BANG! Someone bangs on the door. A soft voice comes from the outside the door - "Hello! Is anyone in there?" There is a silence then another bang on the door. The soft voice speaks again - "Please, can't you hear me?" The boys looks at the door again and then sighs. Just as he starts to turn

around, he sees a paper sliding under the door. He looks at it and reaches over to pick it up. He then starts to read it. Note - "Once was two, the balloon made one." The boy stares at the note. He then looks at the balloon in wonder on why things seem to always point in its direction.

Parker - "What is it about this stupid balloon?"

Scene 7 - The Key

He takes the note and puts it in his pocket. He then makes his way to the balloon. He looks at it. He follows the balloon from the top and then traces the balloon down to the string. He notices something shinning. It seems to be attached to the string somehow. He leans in for a closer look. He reaches with his hand to grab the shinning object. He gets closer, the balloon pops! He grabs the object which appears to be a key as he feels a wet liquid licking down his face. He takes his hand and reaches to his ear. He rubs it and bring his hand to his vision. The substance that was leaking is noticed to be blood. The camera then shows the boys ear which seems to be bleeding. He ignores it and gently unties the key and holds it. He then looks at the door. He looks at the key. He looks at the door. He looks at the key. He grips the key in a fist and makes his way to the door. Once he gets to the door he stands there. Parker - he wonders, "What is out there? Why hasn't anyone come into my room to check on me?" Parker - nervously, "Here goes nothing." He then takes the key and leans in to place it into the lock. Once the key is in the lock, the boy stands back. He takes acouple deep breaths and wonders if he should even leave the room. What is out there he wonders again. The key is then shown in close up in the lock. It turns slowly by itself and the door slams open. His eyes open wide. He stands there frightened by what he just witnessed. He slowly walks towards the door. Taking each step with caution. When he appraoches the door frame, he moves his head to see outside the door.

Scene 8 - Busted Ear Drums

You see the boys mom. She is pacing back and forth biting her nails. She then see's the person she has been patiently waiting for, Doctor Pale. Sophie - "Doctor Pale! Doctor Pale!" Doctor - "Yes Mrs. Miller, can I help you?" Sophie - "Yes, how is my son doing?" Dr. Corbin - "To be honest, it is hard to tell at this point, but there seems to be no sign of improvement." Sophie - "Hm, that is not what I was waiting to hear. I was hoping to hear the opposite. I am just worried you know?" Dr. Corbin - "I completely understand. I have been through my share of parents like you, the ones that are impatient, and on the edge all the time." Sophie - "Excuse me, but I don't mean to be a pest, but this is my son we are talking about here. Have you no self remorse?" Dr. Corbin - "Listen, I know what you are going through is a tough time. It is very sudden, but I am a Doctor. I guess I am just immune to this sort of stuff." Graham appears. Graham - "Did you tell him yet?" Dr. Corbin - "Tell me what?" Sophie - "It's not important." Graham - "I seem to think it is. You see, Parker suffered a head injury a few months ago. He was put in the ICU. When he became conscious he wasn't exactly the same." Dr. Corbin - "What do you mean, Wasn't the same?" Sophie - "When he hit his head he suffered a Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder." Dr. Corbin - "In order words, he now has a hearing impairment." Graham - "Our son is deaf." Sophie - "He hasn't been the same ever since." Graham - "There has been numerous times when Parker would spend his whole weekends in his room. He would walk around the house like he was a zombie. He never smiled, never talked. Hell! I don't even know if he ever took

a shower." Sophie - (Starts to cry) - "We were in denial about everything, but Graham, and I assume he is suffering with slight depression. I would try everything to make him happy, but nothing would work. Our son wasn't our son." Graham rubs Sophie on the back. Graham - "It's ok Honey. You see Doc, our son would never allow us to bring him to get examined. There were times when we would hear banging from his bedroom. We would hear him screaming. Some times it was like he was talking to someone, but he would never mention anything to his mother, nor I." Dr. Corbin - "Thank you for this information. I really appreciate you guys talking to me about this. It helps to know the truth. Now, please if you don't mind. I have other patients to care for." Graham - "Sorry, Doc, we won't bug you any longer" Sophie then starts to scream this loud scream. It is as though at this moment she lets all her emotions out and drops to her knees. The Doctor still seems to walk away. Graham then kneels beside her, and comforts her. Graham - "Get yourself together baby. Everything will be alright." Sophie looks up at Graham and shacks her head no, still teary eyed. Sophie - "That is what you tell me every day, Graham. You lied to me then, and you are lying to me now. I can't take this. Our son is not okay! He is not OKAY! Face it! We did this! I can't take this." Sophie then runs down the hall. The camera follows and then goes black.

Scene 9 - Empty Corridors

The camera zooms in on his feet as he takes a step, then another toward the door. The camera then traces the boys body until it reaches his head. The boy then grabs a hold of the door frame. The camera then zooms in from outside the door to catch the boys head peaking from inside the room. The boy freezes. Then he takes another step. The camera then zooms in on his feet again and he walks into the hallway. He takes another step, then another, very slowly. He then stops and stands there. The boy then starts to walk slowly down the hallway. The hallway seems to be normal, but very empty. There is not a sight of anyone, or anything. The boy then comes to a T. He can either go left or right. The camera zooms in on the boys face. He looks

only with his eyes left, then right, then left, then right, then straight ahead at the camera. Then he looks slowly with his eyes to the right. He chooses to go right and keeps walking. The lights flicker on and then off, then on. The boy blinks quickly as if the blinking lights are messing with his eyes. The camera then shows what's ahead of him. It seems to be an empty corner. The boy scratches his head. The Boy - "Wrong way, I guess" (very softly in grief ) The lights flicker off. Then back on. The camera then shows the boys face. His face has no emotion, but his eyes are wide. The camera then traces the boys body all the way down to his feet and then to the floor and then traces the floor towards the empty corner. The only thing different is that the corner is no longer empty. There seems to be a wheel chair that is propping up a person. The person isn't moving. Just facing the corner. The Boy - "Hello? Can you help me please?" The person doesn't seem to respond. The boy curiously makes his way to the person. Not rushing, but taking his time. The boy then approaches the person and reaches out to touch the wheel chair. The Boy - "Are you okay?" The boy reaches hold of the chair and stands there. The person doesn't acknowledge the boys presence and keeps facing the corner. The boy at this point still can't see the persons face. The boy goes to move the hair out of the persons face, but the person looks away and giggles. The Boy - "Why are you so jumpy?" The boy again tries to move the hair of the persons face. He reaches in and the person looks at the boy in a quick motion. The boy jumps back. The camera is zoomed on the person. The person is just looking at the boy, but has its face covered by its hands. Similar to a person playing pick a boo. The person giggles once again. The camera then shows the boys face. Then the persons face. Then the boys face. Then the persons face. Over and over again in a quick sequence. The persons hands open wider and wider with each sequence. The lights flickering. The camera then stops on the persons face which is uncovered, but hands still framing the face. The persons face at this point is visible to the boy. The person keeps giggling. Woman: (Soft voice to loud scary voice) "Peek-A-Boo! Peek-A-Boo! The woman then jerks toward the boy screaming, "PEEEEEK - A - BOOOOO!" The boy then runs away. Then person then giggles and starts rotating its

wheel chair in a circular motion, faster and faster. The boys keeps running but the person is still shown in the background rotating hysterically in a circular motion. The giggles still echo in the hall way. The person is shown chasing the boy with his wheel chair. The person is then shown lifting up from the wheel chair and starts running towards the boy. The boy is shown running the whole time. The person is shown getting closer. Parker - closes his eyes and screams, "Stop!" The person dissapears and the boy continues to run.

Scene 10 - Mysterious Woman The camera is now looking down on the boy from the back. The boy continues to run. Where he is running he has no clue, but he just wants to get away from that creature of a person. As he runs a flock of birds shadows race across the floor. He runs, again they shadow the ground from the opposite way. He continues running. The camera is now pointed at the boys face. He looks ahead, then right, then left, then straight ahead again. He stops. Puts his hands on his knees and breathes frantically. The running kind of wore him out. Seconds later, he looks up. He then sees a another T. The only thing different about this T is that there is an option to enter a door. The boy takes his deep breathe and heads towards the door. The boy reaches out and grabs the door handle. He then turns the handle to open the door which is a mystery on what it holds within it. The door squeaks as he opens it slowly. Inside is pure darkness. The smell is slightly normal but holds a stench that is indescribable. It smells much like citrus combined with Clorox. Not the best smell as it burned his nose hairs. He covers his nose and pushes the door open and walks on into the room. He walks over to a lamp. He turns the lamp on. The room from the boys sight appears to be empty. The boy just stands there looking left, then right. Then the flock of birds shadows appears again within the little light that is there. The lights flickers off, then flickers back on. He then sees a window. He walks towards it in hopes that maybe he can see someone outside. He might be able to catch their attention and hopefully have out of this place. He then moves the curtain to see the window is not viewable to the outside. Somehow its just black. Well there goes his hope of being rescued. He then takes the lamp to view more of the room. It seems to be empty. Not a soul in sight. The lamp then flickers. The boy hits the lamp to make it stop. It goes off. The boy hits it again and it comes back on. The boy drops the lamp. The room is then filled with dead bodies. They all seem to be laying upon each other motionless. The boy takes a couple steps back. He then falls to his knees. He grabs the lamp and starts rocking back and forth. The camera then raises

across the bodies. They are covered in splatters of blood. The boy keeps rocking. The lamps flickers again. The boy hits it repeatedly. The light goes off and slowly comes back on. The boy shines the light and the bodies seem to all be facing him. They start moving toward him in a crawling motion. They seem to be moving their heads in a circulation motion as a dancer would to stretch their necks. They make the scariest faces the boy have ever seen while doing so.The light flickers. The boy hits it. It goes off and then back on. They all disappear except for one. This is one different. She appears to be all in white. He stands back on his two feet and walks toward it. This person looks different from the rest. She doesn't have blood on her. He gets close. He takes the lamp and brings it to her face that seems to be covered in hair. He takes one hand and goes to move her hair. The lamp flickers. The boy takes his hand and hits it. It goes off again. He hits it and it comes back on. He shines it back in the direction of the woman and she is gone.

Scene 11 - Illumination Without worrying he then again takes the lamp to illuminate the rest of the room. He notices a hole in the wall. Its about the size of a door handle. As if a door handle had been attached there before but taken out. The boy shines the light in its direction. He then sees the frame of a door. It appeals to be the size of a normal door. But why have a door with no handle?Weird, but the boy walks toward it. Who wouldn't be curious to know whats on the other side. Who or what would be inside and why would something be in there, locked away? The boy makes his way to the hole with amusement. He gets closer to it. Then closer. From what he sees the room looks empty. He reaches the hole, and puts his eye to it. At the boys surprise he sees his dad kneeling in a hallway. The Boy - "DAD! DAD!" The boys gets agitated as dad doesn't notice him, nor hear him. He then takes his eye away from the hole and illuminates the door. He looks for any way to open it. He bangs on it. He kicks it as he screams: The Boy (Screams in plead) "HELP! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!" He then takes anything he can find and throws it at the door while he screams in exhaustion. He then gives up and puts his eye back to the hole. His dad is gone, and the room appears to be empty. The Boy - "Hello, is anyone in there?"

The boy continues looking in the hole hoping to see something or someone. He keeps looking. There is complete silence. Then an eye appears slowly from the side of the hole and reaches the center and then it squints. The boy jumps back and drops the lamp. Mysterious person (In a soft voice) - "Hello, is anyone in there?" The boy then picks the lamp back up and goes to look through the hole again. He reaches it and the eye is gone. He keeps looking and notices a person squatting down. The room is dim. The person seems to be naked and chewing on its fingers. It keeps chewing them frantically as in panic. The camera then zooms in on the persons face. The creature keeps looking side to side, left then right, left then right. The camera then zooms out. Then back closer. It zooms out. The camera then zooms in on Its toes and they are moving up, down, up and down. The camera then shows the creature rolling its neck around and making its neck as long as possible. The creatures eyes are rolling behinds its head at this point. The person didn't look normal to the boys knowledge. The creature suddenly looks at the camera, pauses and crawls toward the camera in slow motion to the door. The camera then shows the boys eye. Its wide open at this point. The creature shown still crawling towards the door. It gets closer and closer as the lights flicker. The creature then puts his hand over the hole. The boy sees nothing but blackness. The creature then moves its hand and its mouth is shown. The creature then smiles and then licks its lips and then pops his eye visible again. The boy stays looking through it. At this moment the boy and the person are staring at each other. The boy backs away. The camera then shows the boys feet taking steps back, one by one. Its rises up his body to his face then back at the door. The boy sees something coming through the door. It looks red. It keeps growing in size with every second. It seems to be a balloon, a red one at that. It keeps getting bigger. The boy stares. The balloon is then let go and it raises through the room. The boy drops the lamp and runs out of the room.

Scene 12 - The Other Boy The camera is shown focusing on the mother. She is walking down an isolated hallway. As she walks her hands glides along the wall. She then reaches a door that to her looks familiar. The number on the door brings back a memory she tried to forget. She then looks into the window of the door and witnesses something bizarre. She then starts to hear the sound of a babies crying. She keeps watching as she sees herself holding two precious little boys. The camera is now focused on the woman lying in the bed with a baby in each of her arms. She looks at one and smiles and the baby smiles back and then looks at the other and frowns. This baby cries back. Her face starts to get

tensed and angry at the sight of this child. She starts to questions herself as she speaks inside of her head. Sophie - inside of her head "Why, why would this happen to me? I wanted the perfect family. I need to be seen as the perfect mother. I am perfect. This is not my child. I have only one. I would never have a child like this. You are not mine. Go away. I don't want you. I only have one son. You are not the chosen one. I only have one son. I can't have two." She then calls for a doctor to come and take one of her sons as she wants to spend time alone with each one individually. The doctor gives her what she requested and takes the son that seems to still be smiling and leaves her with the baby with a continuous screaming cry. The mother then watches as the doctor exits the room. She then turns towards the baby and makes this evil grin. She then looks to her left and sees a red balloon that someone has given her. She then takes the balloon and wraps the string around its neck. The baby still continues to cry. She ties the string tighter and tighter in hopes to shut this baby up. The baby is still alive and still crying with a red face. She seems to realize that this isn't enough. She then pops the balloon and puts the balloon in the babies mouth. The baby stops making a noise. The mother then realizes that she killed the baby. She then walks over to a corner and stands on a chair. She moves one of the ceiling blocks and places the baby in the ceiling and closes the block back into place. She steps down and takes a deep breathe. She leaves a note on the bed saying "Once was two, the balloon made one." She walks out of the room still with that evil grin. Seconds later the camera is still focused in the room that is empty except for the baby. You then see someone walk through the door. It appears to be the doctor. He rushed in to figure out what the big popping noise was. He walks over to see an empty bed. The mother and the baby are no where to be found. The father was never told that two boys were born, but only one. The only people that knew were the doctor and the mother. The whereabouts of the baby where never talked about. It was only a mystery. The woman then comes back to reality. She looks towards a corner and sees a chair. She then puts her hands on the door and takes one last look through the window. She then sees something different on the inside of the room. It was then that the woman felt something odd. She felt a tingling sensation that ran across her spine. In her sight she witnessed two people dancing. The room was pitch black and candles were lit. It was as though a seance was being held. The people continued to dance. They appeared to be wearing mask. One wore a happy one and one wore one with such grief as it reassembled a sad face. She continues to watch and they continue to call

upon something unseen by the human eye. They seem to be speaking something but she couldn't quite make out what was being said. She then put her ear to the door in hopes to understand what was being repeated. She takes a deep breath and listens with all she has. Words being repeated: "Our beloved,........, from life into death. Commune with us....and move among us." She still couldn't completely understand. She listens further with the best of her ability. Words being said: softly "We Know!" Louder "WE KNow" with anger in a loud tempo "WE KNOW!!!!! The woman jumps back and gasp. She looks into the window again. She then sees the two people standing there. They seem to be looking directly into her eyes, while still wearing the mask. The woman is freaked out. Guilt fills her body. She knows they know what she has done. The memories she once tried to erase from her mind are now catching up with her. She takes steps back. The doors is suddenly pushed open. A hand reaches out towards her holding a rope. She takes the rope with a gasp and teary eyed. A balloon then floats out and the woman follows it as it leads her to the chair she seen earlier in a isolated corner.

Scene 13 - Suicide The boys father is noticed walking down the hallway. A nurse stops to ask if he is okay, because he looks hysterical. Nurse - "Are you okay, sir?" Graham - "I can't find my wife and my son is on the verge of passing away, how do you think I feel?" Nurse - "I am sorry to hear that sir, but maybe your wife is just wondering the hospital and catching her heard. What does she look like?" Graham - "She is tall, thin and very beautiful." Nurse - "I seen someone similar to that walking earlier. She didn't look okay. I stopped and asked her if she was okay, but she didn't answer, nor did she even look at me. She just kept walking." Graham - "Which direction?" Nurse - (She points) "That way."

Graham then rushes in the direction that the nurse pointed in. The dad continues running and screaming Sophie's name. He seems to be running in circles. Everything looks the same from the pictures on the walls to the placement of furniture. He continues shouting Sophie's name. "Sophie! Sophie!" He reaches a dead end and sees a crowd of people surrounding something. He walks slowly towards the crowd to witness what they find so intriguing. He softly pushes people out of the way. He gets closer and looks up to see a woman's feet and then his wife's body. Graham - "NO!" A song is played but you can still hear Graham screaming. (In Slow Motion) He grabs a chair and pushes it right underneath were his wife seems to be hanging. He places his feet on the chair and reaches up for his wife. He then picks her up, with all the strength he has. He then falls to the floor with her. He never loses his grip and cradles her in his arms. The rope is still around her neck. He rocks back and forth while he cries. He looks up and screams with all the emotion he has left. A note then falls onto the floor from her hand. Someone picks it up. Graham looks at the person. (She appears to be wearing all black and also a black veil.) Slowly, she hands the note to Graham. Graham takes the note without blinking at the sight of the woman. He slowly takes the note and follows it teary eyed. He looks at it. Note - "Once was two, the balloon made one." Graham then takes his wife and stands up. The camera shows the backside of him as he walks though the crowd of people who at this point are all wearing black. They step out of his way and just stare. He keeps walking, wife in his arms and emotionless. He just walks. The camera shows his feet as he takes a step by step. He reaches the end of the hall. He places his wife in a chair sitting correctly but her head is to heavy and it slides her body sideways. She hangs on the side of the chair. On the end table there seems to be a vas with dead flowers in it and filled with black water. He then steps into the door next to him which seems to be a bathroom. He pushes the door open as it squeaks. He approaches a mirror and takes a look at himself. The lights flicker and in the mirror his reflection is gone. The lights flicker again and his reflection reappears. (He then has a flashback of a memory he remembers. He is shown beating his son, not acknowledging any good he has done. The father remembers not being a good father to the son. The death of his other son was traumatic and it seems the parents never got over it. They wanted to be good parents but after what they had done, they never thought they could be good parents and never tried. Only neglecting the son that they chose to raise. They killed one son and were slowly killing the living one.) He then punches the mirror with all of his might. He cuts himself. He falls to the

floor. He then picks up a piece of broken glass and you can see his reflection again. The light flickers and his reflection is gone. It flickers again and his reflection reappears. He takes the piece of glass and puts it against his inner arm. He slowly cuts himself. He drops his head. Picks it up back. He starts to cry. He looks up with trembling lips. The tears creep down his cheek and as they leave traces of guilt from his existence. It doesn't seem to be enough, the pain is too much to bare. He then puts it to his throat and slowly slices it from left to right. His body falls slowly to the ground along with the glass that shatters. His body is shown. His eyes are still open. The camera zooms slowly out of the bathroom and the camera goes blank.

Scene 14 - Ring Around The Rosie Song Plays: Scary Ring Around The Rosie http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=MvN57M8Nevk The boy runs and runs. His feet are shown running. Then the hallway is shown. Then his legs are shown running. A corner is shown with the person in the wheel chair the boy keeps running and takes the corner sharp. Then his torso is shown and arms are moving in running motion. The hallway is shown. Then the boys face is shown. He keeps running. The boy suddenly stops. He stands there. The camera is now facing the boy. The boy breathes in and out as trying to catch his breath. The lights flicker off and then back on. Behind the boy you can now see a girl standing holding a balloon she starts walking towards the boy. The lights flicker off and then on. The girl is now gone. The boy starts running. In a quick sequence (very fast paced) , the boys feet are shown running. Then the hallway. Then his legs. Then a corner. Then his torso. Then the hallway. Then his face. He keeps running. Corner after corner. He sees person in the wheel chair again. Corner after corner. He keeps running. There is a flicker in the lights. Then the boy stops. He slowly looks around the corner. He then sees 3 girls. They are all wearing black dresses, black lace stockings and black shoes. They each have lace over their heads covering their pretty faces. They seem to be playing ring around the Rosie and never acknowledge the boys presence. The camera then zooms slowly towards the girls. They keep going in circles. Over and over again skipping. The camera gets closer towards the girls. The boys face is shown. Then the girls are shown but this time a woman is standing between them. She seems to be wearing all white, surprisingly peaceful and holding a red balloon. They keep spinning faster and faster. The camera shows the boys face. They girls and woman are shown again. The girls are going faster and faster and suddenly the music stops and they fall down. The woman stands alone just staring at the boy still holding the balloon. This time she appears to be full of blood. Her neck looks as though it was strangled. The camera then slowly

zooms in on the woman. She stands there emotionless. The camera zooms in on her face. The boy notices the woman. There seems to be a tear of red blood dripping down her cheek. The camera then shows her hand as she lets the balloon go. The camera then shows the balloon floating. The balloon starts to float towards the boy. It gets closer and in the background you can still see the woman. The balloon appears to be closer, getting larger as it gets closer. The lights flicker and the balloon, along with the woman are gone, but the girls still appear to be on the ground.

Scene 15 - Sudden Deterioration The boy stands there. He is in shock. He can't believe what he just seen. He stands there for another second or two. He doesn't feel too well. He see's a trash can and rushes to it. He throws himself at it. His head is completely in the trash can. All that is heard is the sound of vomit and coughing. The boy then stands up and wipes his mouth with his hands and takes a breath of relief. He starts to feel better. He then starts to walk down the hall still looking confused. He stops and shouts. The Boy - (Shouts) "Can someone please tell me what is going on!" The Boy - "I need help! (Slight Pause) I don't even know where I am and I need to get out of here!" The Boy - (Low Tempo) "This is so frustrating.." The boy then sees the dark figure he had seen earlier. It seems to walk down the hallway and takes the next corner. The boy follows. The boy then walks down the hallway towards the next corner. He then starts to walk past the 3 girls. He gently tip-toes past them. If they are still alive he doesn't want to take any chances of waking them. Seeing them in motion was scary enough. He continues to quietly tip toes. Foot by foot he gets closer. One of the grils hands grabs the boy by the ankle. The boy falls to the ground. The lights flicker. All 3 girls seems to be crawling to the boy. Hand by hand they start to grab him and pull him back. The boys hands are shown gripping the ground by the nails on his fingers. One of his nails pop off and a trail of blood is shown from his finger. The lights flicker then the girls are gone. The boy quickly jumps up and looks around as he walks backwards. The room is empty. The trail of blood is there, and his finger is still bleeding. He then turns around and takes the corner. What is in store for him now? He can only wonder.

Scene 16 - Time Is Ticking The boy continues walking. He is more freaked out than ever. Why were all this things happening to him? Where is he? He figures he should explore more to find out where he is. Even if this place could be defined as being something in reality. He heads towards another corner as he walks along the wall that is made of cold hard brick. The color is hard to explain. It was this pale green, with a hint of yellow. They were hard to see because the only thing illuminating them were the lights from the ceiling which kept flickering. They say that Hospital walls are supposed to make people smile, but this color did the opposite. The atmosphere just wasn't right. Something was wrong, very wrong. Ticking Clock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxXHumna3xw The boy walks slowly. He keeps looking left and right keeping his hands by his side. The boy knew he wasn't anywhere that was close to safe. He was afraid but he had to keep everything together. This hallway felt different. It felt peaceful and restless. There is a sudden sound of ticking as he approaches the corner. Its gets louder as he gets closer. He drags his hand against the wall with every step. The camera is now viewed from down the hallway he is about to take. The clocks are still ticking, but this time they are louder than before. The lights flicker then we see from a distance a hand appears and then grips the corner. The fingers look long and skinny. Then slowly another hand appear and grips it. There is a slight pause and then a head peeps his eyes out. Its the boy. He stays there for a slight second. The camera then goes back to the boys vision. The hallway is shown. The boy steps into the hallway and he see's a bunch of clocks. The camera then zooms across all the clocks, wall by wall, in a circular motion. He walks making his way into the hallway as he looks at all the clocks. They seem to be of different sizes and styles. They seem to just be ticking. The boy then notices they all seem to be pointed towards 3 AM (Dead Time). He walks towards one clock and slides his fingers against it. It seems to be real. The boy continues to walk and looks left and right at all of the clocks. He takes a breath and sits in the middle of them all. It feels as almost that everything has stopped, the only thing that hasn't is time. The camera moves around the boy in a circle. Then faces the clocks and moves in a circulation motion. Then the boy and then the clocks. Everything is spinning. Then the camera stops and shows the back of the boy sitting. There is a pause. Suddenly he looks back, over his shoulder. The camera then shows, from the boys vision, the corner he just came from. (Maybe have piano music playing or just the clocks ticking?) He notices a balloon come around the corner. From the first sight of the balloon, the boy feels peace. Its like everything negative he could ever think has vanished from his mind. He has never felt so innocent and pure. It feels as if his soul has exited his body. It starts to float slowly towards the boy. It gets

closer and closer, the clocks are still ticking. The balloon approaches the boy and floats over his head in slow motion. As it floats above him, this substance we call rain starts to pour on and around him. The boy never lets the balloon out of his sight. The rain continues dripping. This is a beautiful moment for the boy. He feels blessed. The balloon then floats away in front of him. The lights flicker. The boy stands up and follows the balloon around the next corner.

Scene 17 - The Balloon The balloon continues to float down the empty corridor. It floats so gracefully without any sign of wind. Its almost as if though it was being carried. Gravity was taking the balloon and leading the boy in a direction, but where? Just as the boy was getting hypnotized by the balloon, it suddenly pops. He walks towards it and picks it up. It just seems to be a normal rubbery balloon. In his hand, the balloon turns to sand and pour to the ground. The boy then wipes his hand on his pants thinking nothing of it. He looks ahead. He can see in his peripheral vision a hand come from the corner. It grips the edge. He then sees another hand grip the corner. The boys keeps looking straight, but only looking with his peripheral vision. He walks towards the corner where the hands are gripping the wall.

Scene 18 - Desk of Hope He takes the corner. The balloon seems to have disappeared. A new object appears. In front of him he sees a desk that is in the middle of the hallway. It seems to be covered in coffee cups. Too many to actually count. The boy then finds this to be weird because he then sees the dark figure sitting at the desk. He then walks towards the desk. If a desk is there why not check it out, he thought. He reaches the desk and gently touches one of the coffee cups. It seems to be real because the boy made one fall and it breaks making a loud clashing sound. The boy looks on the desk. He just sees a bunch of junk. Nothing seems to look useful. If the boy liked coffee he would be in coffee heaven. He stands there and he looks at the dark figure. The dark figure is just sitting there not moving. He seems to be hunched over and his head seems to be looking down. His face still isn't visible because the hood on the cloak is covering any form of identification. The Boy - "Why won't you help me?" The Boy - "For some reason you keep appearing but you are useless. I am in this place that is unknown to myself and I can't seem to get out."

The Boy - "I just wish you would listen to me when I talk and give me some sort of direction of inform me on why I am here in the first place." The Dark Figure - "Your wish is my command." The dark figure then points towards one of the desk drawers. The boy looks in its direction and then back at the dark figure. He then runs to the desk drawer and opens it. The boy see's a stack of papers. It seems to be some kind of hospital records. The boy scatters through them and comes across one that has his name on it. He reads his name aloud. The Boy - "Parker Lee Miller" The Boy reads more of what is written. Note - "It is stated that he suffered a Epidural hematoma. A Epidural hematoma is a condition caused by a sever blow to the head. " The boy then has a flash back. (Slow motion) He sees himself flying off the bike and his head hitting the ground. The boy then drops the papers. They are shown hitting the floor. The boy stands there with no emotion. He then takes his hand and feels his head. The boy still has no emotion. The boy then takes his hand and rubs his head. He then slowly brings his fingers towards his face so he can see them while having his eyes already looking at his fingers before they reach eye sight. The camera then shows the boys fingers from his point of sight. They start out of focus and then gradually catch focus as they enter the middle of the screen. They appear to be covered in blood. The boy then says. The Boy - "This can't be."

Scene 19 - The Encounter The boy then sees the dark figure rise from the chair. They are now facing each other. The dark figure still appears to be a mystery to the boy. Just a person wearing a dark cloak. The Boy - "Why won't you help me?" The Dark Figure - "Death is no dream." The Boy - "Why won't you answer me?" The Dark Figure - "Sh, hush boy." The Boy then brings his hands to his head and starts shaking back and forth.

The camera zooms in and out on the boy in a quick sequence. The Boy - "You are driving me crazy. I can't stand this solitude of a place" The Dark Figure - "You brought yourself here. Help yourself and shed a tear." The Boy stops shacking. He stand there. He looks at the dark figure. A tear then falls from the boys eye. It drops down his cheek. The tear is then seen falling to the floor. The boy then wipes his face and says: The Boy - "I will not cry for your satisfaction" "I will not pry your sympathy" The Dark Figure - "I am not to blame, for you and I, we are the same." The boy then jumps at the dark figure. He knocks him to the ground. At this point the boy is up top of the dark figure. He is slamming his head to the ground while chocking him. (Flash back: The balloon floating away from the accident is shown. It losses focus as it reaches the sky). The boy keeps chocking the figure. The Boy - "I hate you! You did this! I hate you! I hate you!" The dark figure doesn't even try to fight back as he takes his last breathe.

Scene 20 - Identity Revealed The camera is then shown from behind the boy and shows the dark figures shoes. They seem to be the same shoes the boy is wearing. The boy doesn't notice. He takes a deep breath while sitting on the figure. He takes one more breath in relief, as though he did something worthy of a gold metal trophy. He then looks at the figures head. The chin of the figure is now visible. The boy wonders, who is this? He then takes his hand and starts to remove the cloak. The more and more the boy sees the figures face, the more and more the boy see's similarities between the two. The cloak hood is completely off and the figures face is now visible to the boy, but not to the audience. The boy jumps up and takes a couple steps back. The figures face is now shown in the cameras sight. The figure is the boy. Could it be a twin? Could it be himself?

(In Slow Motion. This scene last about 3 minutes.) Song is played - Gloomy Sunday : http://www.youtube.com/watch?

v=sjWMtQcNJXI (Very sad and emotional time for the boy.) The boy keeps taking steps back. His hands hit the wall and then he slowly starts to fall to his knees. The camera then shows the dark figure. It zooms in on its face. The camera then shows the boy who never took his eyes off the figure, who appears to be himself. Another tear falls from the boys eye, then another. He takes his hand and feels his womb again. The boy starts to understand where he is. It hits him hard and he starts to cry. He never wipes his tears away as they drip down his cheeks. He just sits there and hold his legs. He killed the only person trying to help him, himself. He killed the one person that was trying to show him that everything would be okay. He starts to rock back and forth. The boy then drops his head between his knees but still has his sight on the figure. He starts to rock back and forth. He is speechless and confused. The boy then pulls the note of his pocket that he had put there just earlier. He uncrickles it and reads it aloud. Note - "Once was two, but the balloon made one" He then stands up. He slowly walks towards himself and lays on the ground. He puts the note between both of them. He then curls up on the floor. He is ready now. He is ready to be free. Everything that happened throughout the story replays back in quick sequences. Then shows the boy laying on the ground, this time he is laying alone on the ground, as the camera circles above him. Then it shuts off the back on and now his mom then appears laying next to him. The lights shut off and then back on and his father is seen laying next to him along with this mom. The camera zooms out of focus still going in a circular motion and then black.

Scene 21 - Deja Vu The camera comes back into focus and it appears the boy is laying back in the hospital bed. He is still unconscious, but the sound of a heart beat is heard. The boy is shown again. You can see his body. The doctor is in the room along with the same nurse from earlier. They seem to be talking. Dr. Corbin - "What do you mean their have been two suicides in the hospital?" Nurse - "Well, it all happened suddenly sir. One woman hung herself in a hallway and a man was found in the men's room. It seems he slit his throat." (Maybe replay these moments?)

Dr. Corbin - "Were these people Identified? I mean were they patients here?" Nurse - "Yes sir, they were identified but they were not patients here." Dr. Corbin - "What were their names?" Nurse - "Mr. Graham Miller and Mrs. Sophie Miller" The camera dims more and faces the boy. In Slow Motion: We see the boys head lift off the bed as he gasp for air. The doctor runs to his side. The boy awakes and is now conscious. The boy opens his eyes and looks around the room in panic. He keeps looking but he can't seem to find in his vision the people he missed and waited to see. The ones he loved. The Boy - "Where are my parents?" The doctor looks at the boy sad eyed. The nurse hands a note to the doctor. The doctor then hands it to the boy. The boy grabs the note and reads it. Note: "Once was two, the balloon made one." The boy drops the note and lays back down and stares at the ceiling and a tear rolls down his cheek. The camera zooms out the room. The door closes. The camera goes black. Credits start to roll.
