The monster senses their presence, but can’t quite place their exact location.
John walks slowly but urgently to the shed, as -THE WIND STARTS BLOWING.
THE LEAVES OF THE TREES BEND AND RATTLE.
IT DISGUISES THE SOUNDS OF JOHN’S FOOTSTEPS.
JOHN CLOSES HIS EYES.
FOCUSING ALL OF HIS ENERGY.
DOING HIS BEST TO NOT MAKE A SINGLE SOUND.
THIS IS THE LONGEST WALK OF HIS LIFE.
16.
John is 30 feet away from the shed... 17.
20 feet away... 18.
10 feet... 19.
5... 20.
...SNAP.
21.
John looks down in horror. A BROKEN TWIG under his foot.
The creature whips around. Rears up.
JOHN RUNS FOR IT -THE MONSTER SCREAMS - INT. SHED - AFTERNOON MIA PULLS JOHN INSIDE. JUST BEFORE THE MONSTER LUNGES, WILL SLAMS THE DOOR CLOSED. DEAD BOLTS THE LOCK.
JOHN RUNS TO THE BACK OF THE SHED, PLUGS THE MP3 PLAYER INTO THE WALL, FLIPS A SWITCH - EXT. GRASS FIELD - AFTERNOON The light on the GREY BOX turns GREEN, and then we hear...
MUSIC:
EXT. CORN FIELD, WEATHER VANE - AFTERNOON ...coming from the SPEAKER BOX at the base of the weather vane.
EXT. SHED - AFTERNOON The creature retreats from the shed toward the sounds.
EXT. HILLTOP - AFTERNOON High above rolling hills under day-blue sky. The farmhouse just a dot on the horizon.
MUSIC reverberates off the walls of the empty valley.
