INT. ROOM - DAY
FADE IN:
The WOMAN is sitting in a dark room with black curtains all
around and a small table in the middle of the room. On the
table and the floor are 16 letters with something written on
them.
The women has a tired look on her face. She slowly reaches
out of frame and grabs a hair brush. She begins slowly
brushing
The camera moves forward passed the back of the women and
focuses on the letters, but the words are unreadable. The
women starts humming Mary had a Little Lamb. The camera
circles to see the women still brushing her hair and
humming. The camera keeps going to focus on the door.
The woman's humming slowly turns to crying as the camera
slowly gets closer to the door.
The camera cuts to the woman crying. She stops brushing her
hair and drops the brush.
The camera goes back to the door zooming in slowly then
stops. Suddenly a BANG then two more.

Cut back to the door. Another three bangs. Cut to the woman.

More banging on the door.

She stands up and runs to the door. She looks through the
peep hole.

The man reaches into his coat and pulls out a letter.

The girl runs back to the middle of the room and begins to
sob. She looks at the phone out of frame. Cut to the phone,
her hand reaches in picking it up.
Cut to the woman's face. Her makeup is smeared. The light
casts a stripe over her eyes and mouth.
Cut to the phone, her fingers reach in and dial the police.
The woman holds the phone with her eyes darting back and
forth. Searching for words. The other end picks up.
POLICE

my box.

WOMAN
It's like a bad dream.
POLICE

The police man hangs up. The woman hangs up. She looks
toward the door. She stands up and walks to the door. She
looks through the peep hole.

Through the peep hole there is nothing there.

letter out. She goes back in the room and sits down.
She looks at the letter. Cut to the woman's hands holding
the letter. The letter says I love you. Cut to the other
letters, they all say I love you.
Cut to the woman's face. She smiles.
