.1. EXT. STREET - NIGHT
1 A QUIET AND EMPTY STREET WITH ONLY SOME STREETLIGHTS INCLUDING ONLY DIEGETIC SOUNDS.
MARYAM (17) runs through a dark road, clearly terrified. Her breathing is heavy and uneven. Her footsteps echo loudly, making the space feel empty.
She glances over her shoulder. Nothing.
She stops.
A MISSING POSTER is pinned to a tree.
She slowly reaches for it. Her hands shake as she pulls it off.
(insert: The poster - a photo of her friend)
FLASHBACK: APARTMENT COMPLEX - A MONTH AGO
Maryam and her friend hang out.
(insert: non-diegetic music)
She dials a number.
CUT TO:
INT. PARK - DAY
HUMNA’s phone VIBRATES.
(insert: Maryam calling)
Humna looks at the screen…
…and declines the call.
CUT TO:
EXT. APARTMENT STAIRCASE - DAY
Maryam and Humna argue.
Maryam SHOVES her.
Humna loses balance - falls down the stairs.
SILENCE.
Maryam stands frozen at the top.
Looking down at Humna’s body.
CUTS TO:
Maryam drags the body away.
Enters the elevator with bloody hands.
(insert: non-diegetic music)
END FLASHBACK.
CUT BACK TO:
EXT. STREET - NIGHT
Maryam stares at the poster in her hands. Terrified.
A SHADOW appears behind her.
Suddenly, she FALLS back in fear.
Her eyes widen.
CUT TO BLACK.
Maryam slowly gets up.
She starts running.
EXT. WALL - DAY
She reaches a wall and collapses against it, sitting down.
Then-
VOICEOVER (Maryam)
