Script

Scene One

Jack: When do you think Richard will be back?

Tom: No idea, hopefully before it gets dark.

Jack: What will we do if he doesn’t come back?

Tom: We leave. We can’t wait here forever.

Jack: Ok...

(Richard appears at the window)

Richard (quietly): Shh! We have to leave, now.

(Jack and Tom stand up and make their way to the window)

(Next shot is all three characters walking out from behind the abandoned house, Richard leading, Jack and Tom walking behind)

Tom: Why did we have to leave? That was an awesome hideout we had there.

Jack: Yeah, what’s up?

Richard: They followed me... I couldn’t lose them, they were so fast...

Jack: What!? They followed you!? We could all be dead soon...

Richard: I couldn’t... They wouldn’t stop...

Tom: Pull yourselves together, this has happened before, and we’re still alive, don’t worry.

Jack: I suppose...

(Characters find path to walk on)

Jack: So, where do we go now?

Tom: Good question...

Tom: There’s not a lot of safe places around here either.

(Characters stop)

Richard: I know a place; it’s a fair walk though, if it hasn’t been overrun.

Tom: Sounds good, where is it?

Jack: I don’t like this; we should have stayed at the house.

Tom: Nah, not if those things followed Rich.

Richard: Guys stop. I heard something.

Tom (Quietly): What is it?

Jack (Quietly): I heard it again.

Tom (Quietly): Where?

Richard: It’s in the trees.

Jack: You think it’s one of them?

Tom: Gotta be. What shall we do?

(Rustling and growling noises from trees)

Jack: There it is again.

Richard: Wait... I can see it.

(Shot of the trees, nothing there)

Tom: Where? I can’t see anything...

(Another shot of trees, zombie is seen)

Richard: There it is.

(Title sequence fades in)
