"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" script extract: While Havez hacks a smoker's COUGH, and searches himself for a light, Bruckman shakes his head, as if saying, "This guy obviously doesn't realize that not only have recent reports shown that cigarette smokers are more lonely and depressed than their non-smoking brethren, but that Broadcast Standards & Practices does not approve of this activity being displayed on the air. Nevertheless, one shouldn't deny a man an occasional good smoke, especially when knowing that he is about to die soon," so Bruckman pulls out the lighter Mrs. Lowe gave him, and lights Havez's cigarette. Suddenly, Bruckman stares at the lighter with a great sense of despair.

AFF reader comment: "The script is easy to read and has no formatting issues. The story progresses through a beginning, middle, and end"
Open on blackness. A tiny white dot appears at the center of our vision. The dot expands outwards -- like an old television screen switching on -- and becomes... INT. DINGY WORKSHOP - DAY We are in someone's seated POV. Ahead of us: a cramped, dimly lit workshop. Every surface overflows with barely recognizable junk: Battered oscilloscopes and microscopes, anatomical models, thick piles of academic papers, jars of murky fluid... ...a confusing mixture of items both scientific and esoteric. And in the top left corner of our vision -- as if part of a simple HEADS-UP DISPLAY -- floats the _number 22_. Sitting directly ahead of us on a wheeled office chair is an exhausted middle-aged man in a shabby lab coat. This is MICHAEL. He is frazzled and unkempt, and though we may not immediately notice, he sports a drab pair of FOLDED ANGELIC WINGS. Michael looks directly at us, exhales in deep frustration -- MICHAEL Right then... -- and then reads from a sheet of paper with the bored tone of someone who's been through this many times before. MICHAEL Welcome to consciousness. My name is Michael, and you are test subject number... He peers at a vintage computer on the table to our right, its screen turned away from us. MICHAEL ...twenty-two. Without looking, he points to the floating number in the top left of our vision.

They watch the attic door warily as the footsteps ascend. On the attic door: CREAK. CREAK. CREAK. Edith's eyes go wide as she realizes: EDITH The _suitcase_. He'll see it -- The DOORKNOB RATTLES as a hand grabs it from the other side. It squeals, slowly turns... and the attic door swings open. Edith's father, MR. MEARS (40s), stands silhouetted against the half-light of the stairway. His suit and tie are rumpled and loose. He's drunk. A stooping mess. MEARS Edie? His POV: Edith turning from the bed. The skirt around the bed falling to partially cover the suitcase now stashed beneath. MEARS You don't answer? EDITH I was asleep. MEARS You trying to make a fool of me? GRACE (O.S.) She had a nightmare. Mears notices Grace for the first time -- moved to a chair in a darkened corner. He swings his attention to her. MEARS This isn't your room. You should be down the hall. (to Edith) She keeping you awake? What's she been telling you? GRACE I haven't -- MEARS _I didn't ask you_.
Over BLACK: The CRUNCH of a boot against wood. A second, harder CRUNCH -- a door violently assaulted. Finally a SPLINTERING CRASH as the door is KICKED IN. A BURLY MAN stands silhouetted in the doorway of: INT. NORTH FORK CABIN - DAY The job done, the man steps aside in favor of SHERIFF TABER -- a gruff man in his mid-fifties. His paunch and Cattleman hat block out the sun. TABER Hell's teeth... His POV: A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL -- CALLIE -- slumps on the floor of the cabin. Resting back against the log wall. Her face is pale under her dirty blonde hair. She stares up at Taber -- her chest rising and falling with shallow breaths. Her petticoat is STAINED WITH BLOOD. No way to tell if it's hers. A thin trail of blood leads to a KITCHEN KNIFE lying a few feet away on the cabin floor. Taber takes this in. Speaks without urgency. TABER Where is he? Callie nods loosely toward the open door of an adjacent room. Taber doesn't need to look in there. TABER Can you walk? INT. CARRIAGE - DAY The sound of horses' hooves on a dirt road. Callie is slumped in the back of the carriage. Her CUFFED hands resting on her lap.
