EXT. STREET - DAY
We are looking through our protagonists perspective. He LOOKS
around, CHECKS his PHONE and continues to WALK down the street
ahead of him, a WOMAN, almost frozen still. Our protagonist abruptly
RUNS down the road, PANTING at he runs out of breath.
From the distance, a loud gunshot emerges from the eerily silent
atmosphere. The woman COLLAPSES a BULLET races through her temple
as her head whiplashes to the side.

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT
He WAKES UP on his sofa, SHOUTING as he witnessed her death in his
dream again
The man, JOHN STAPLES, in his mid 20s, slowly begins to calm down,
coming to the realization that none of it was real. On the TABLE
next to him is ALCOHOL BOTTLES and CIGARRETTES. On the floor
directly under him is a SCAN of an unborn baby.
JOHN looks up to the TV. Playing is a news report speaking about his
wifes death.
NEWS REPORTER
the recent death of Linda Staples
could be an incentive for someone
close to step up and bring her
murderer to justice, better yet
anybody in Raveback City could
bring in criminals living under our
noses in this society
On the news channel, a picture is shown of JOHN, his wife LINDA and
their unborn child.

2
JOHN looks back the same FRAMED PICTURE of him and his wife,
LINDA. He picks it up, reminded of her passing. He WALKS to his
wardrobe.
JOHN OPENS his wardrobe inside amongst his clothes
Camera pans down to two PISTOLS and a PLAIN, BLACK MASK. He takes a
puff of his cigarette. He SHUTS the wardrobe.
CUT TO:
EXT. PARK - DAY
JOHN is on a walk to clear the air, with his head down and hands in
his pockets.
As he WALKS around the park slowly, he PEERS down an alleyway. A
young man is being robbed, but due to this being normal in this
city, JOHN ignores the situation and carries on.
JOHN encounters another crime taking place. Another thug is STAMPING
on a civilians head, this time on a backstreet. Again, he tries not
to intervene and carries on.
He gets to the end of the alleyway another thug emerges with a 9MM
PISTOL in his grasp, and a BLACK DUFFEL BAG in the other. JOHN still
tries to make his way past.
CLICK. The thug pulls his gun and points in to JOHNs head. Sweat is
dripping from JOHNs worried face, and thoughts begin to surface.
FLASHES his wife LINDA with a GUN pointed to her head.
The thug slowly circles JOHN until he can make a quick getaway. He
runs off, stumbling while MONEY falls out of his BAG.
CUT TO:
INT. APARTMENT NIGHT
JOHN is watching television, with a CAN OF BEER next to him trying
to put behind what happened.
But he cant enjoy it
CUT TO:
EXT. STREET DAY
We are witnessing another dream. JOHN is walking with his wife,
LINDA. She SMILES at him as JOHNs witty humor amuses her.
From the distance, a SNIPER SHOT rises. The bullet soars through her
head, and she COLLAPSES.
CUT TO:
INT. APARTMENT NIGHT

3
JOHN struggles to deal with the thought. His facial expressions show
DISTRESSION, SUFFERING and ANGER.
CUT TO:
EXT. STREET DAY
JOHN looks down LINDAs face covered in blood. He tries his best to
bring her back, but his efforts are worthless.
CUT TO:
INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT
JOHN shouts in anger and THROWS his CIGARETTE angrily. He follows
through by also throwing his BEER and everything on his TABLE. He
picks up LINDAs PICTURE - then pauses.
JOHN momentarily LOOKS at the PICTURE, still with a facial
expression, which is later reduced to a SAD and REFLECTIVE one. He
slowly and softly PUTS it down. He then looks at his WARDROBE.
Inside the wardrobe - his TWO HANDGUNS and a BLACK MASK. He pauses,
as he looks down at the objects.
