Time Countdown

1:20, 1:19

Int. Puzzle

The light is coming from the door frame at the end of the dark corridor. We hear someone’s panting for breath. The person is running into the light.

Cut to

Ext. Puzzle

Person runs out into the open space. He realizes that this place looks familiar. After noticing the cross which was drawn seconds ago by him the quick flashback of this event runs through his mind.

There are three doors, this time he chooses the third one. He is in a hurry, because he knows that he has not much time left.

Time countdown

Cut to

Ext. Puzzle

The same place again. He desperately runs into the remaining door.

Cut to

Deadlock

This time he appears in the deadlock. He sees the almost decayed dead bodies and the few gas masks, which are left from the previous players.

Cut to

Countdown

00:01, 00:00

Cut to

Deadlock

We hear a heart attack sound. The nameless one falls on the ground. We hear his dying agony. Then camera slowly starts zooming out.    

Seamless transition to:

Ext. Street

Camera zooms out from labyrinth through the glass of the screen to the dystopia streets. We see people back of the head. They are watching this show. The camera slowly zooms out and shows us what behind them. The burning barrels, full of rubbish streets poisoned with smog, dying human beings lay on the street, the alcohol bottles are everywhere, postcards on the walls.

A showman’s voice from the screen says “Another failure, well we will come back after short advertisement, stay with us, maybe the next player will get lucky”.

ScirptDraft - One of Many

“ONE OF MANY”

BLUR IN ON:

Road in the middle of nowhere

There are few damaged telegraph poles near destroyed road. A small scorpion is trying to cross it over. He is moving towards inactive windmill turbines and mountains which covered the background.

Suddenly, scorpion gets squished by a man’s boot.

Sick and tired man is directing his dot-and-go-one walk towards his home. His clothes are worn-out and dirty.

Ext. House

Our sight is attracted by the post-apocalyptic house, John Carmack style, which stands by the road. The man enters the house.

Int. House

He sits behind the desk and starts doing something. The camera refocuses on the room to show its details. The old plates weren’t washed for months, empty bottles, papers, boxes and different garbage are scattered everywhere. Flies hovering above the rotten food.

Now we are able to see his desk and himself more closely. He fills the flask with green liquid and injects it in his eye. This is the first time we can see his face closely. The camera zooms in his eye.

Ext. Airship (Illusion) 

The airship is flying above the hills and mountains. It has no steering control and only god knows where it goes. The man sits on the upper deck in the chair and feels good. He doesn’t look sick anymore, he smiles. Everything seems to be so far away. Colors are saturated and the view is distorted in this part of illusion. 

Int. House

The trip is over. The man injects with shaking arms another flask. The trip continues.

Ext. Airship

Same airship and environment, however, this time colors a little bit desaturated distortion is more obvious. The ship flies away and leaves us with ambiguity and unanswered questions.

Int. House

Close up camera shows us a dead face of the man. His eyes are deadly white. Without transition it zooms out the character’s face to the room and the house itself. We are able to see the lonely house in the middle of nowhere.

BLUR OUT

THE END.

They stand embracing each other.

Suddenly, the ballet-dancer disappears.
