Road Scene [A short class assignment]

EXT. ROAD. NIGHT
A small sedan rushes through a narrow road in the woods. The street is damp and slippery from the morning snow.

INT. CAR. CONTINUOUS

LAURA (30)
Nononono, please do NOT touch that!

The drunken old man fumbles through the CD cabinet.

CARLOS (65)
Ah, give me a break. I’m old, but I know what music I like! This ain’t it. Turn off that damn Christmas
radio!

LAURA (30)
What are you...Oh God.

The old man chokes on his own words, coughing and regurgitating.

LAURA
Oh God! Are you ok? Jeez...nonono, not on that seat!

Laura eyes over at Carlos, left hand grips onto the steering wheel, right hand pats the old man’s back.

LAURA (cont’d)
God, what did I sign up for...Why did you drink so much?

The old man continuous to cough. Laura, annoyed, takes a quick look onto the road and sees a dark spot in front of her. She pulls her right hand away from Carlos and leans her body closer to the steering wheel.

LAURA (cont’d)
What is...

A pair of glowing eyes pierces back at Laura as she looks closer. She screams loudly, causing the old man to look up as well.

EXT. ROAD. SAME
We hear a loud collision from a distance and a woman’s never ending screech.

EXT. ROAD.
A young deer lies in its own blood. A car 50 feet way rests in a pool of dirty red slush.

LAURA (O.S)
Shit!!

  2. The set-up actually came from a scene in the movie called Long Kiss Goodnight. You should read Shane Black's version of this set-up, much more gory than mine, and more gory than the movie itself. LOL
