FADE IN:

INT. LOCATION #2 – DAY

Mid to Long shot. Typical, untidy, teenage girls bedroom. A shocking pink with posters, and various items of clothing on the floor. Pieces of furniture: wardrobe, dressing table, chair, bookcase. It looks cluttered and cosy, but however, unlived in. It feels fake and plastic. Room is based around a double bed in the middle, with a duvet to match the colour of the walls, and a girls head on the pillow. Camera pans around then zooms onto the head on the pillow, we recognise it to be Fiona. Sudden movement of camera. Fiona wakes up and sits up almost robotically. Heavy breathing.

FIONA

(in between drawing deep breaths)

Remember! Remember!

This tires her out. So her head falls back onto the pillow and goes back into a deep sleep.

FADE OUT.

FADE IN:

EXT. LOCATION #2 – DAY

Panning shot of a typical suburban street. Its morning. Neighbours are greeting each other. People are off to work, kids being wrestled down the street to get to school. Camera focuses on a  boy on his bike, wearing ordinary jeans and a jumper with a shoulder bag full of papers. The camera follows him down the street till he gets to a certain house.

Boy gets off his bike and walks up the drive. Camera still following him. Close Up/Extreme Close Up of his finger on the door bell. The door opens. Surprise. It’s the mystery man that shoved Fiona in the car. CU on boy as he speaks.

Good morning Mister

“Before The Storm”

TEASER

FADE IN:

INT. LOCATION #1 – NIGHT

Panning Shot. Three people trapped in a long white corridor, blank and clear, with an opening at the end of it. An alarm is sounding, annoying, but sincere.

Long Shot of the people, roughly 3 seconds just so characters are introduced.

Mother, blond, tall, slightly aged, plain and practical clothing. Father, quite big with imposing figures, balding, aged. Daughter, tall, thin and pretty, resembles her mother, but shows youth and weakness.

After this shot/pause, all three of them start running to the opening. But as they start to reach it, the opening which was a door now has a shutter coming down.

Angry looking stereotypical security people start coming round the corner. Mixture of faces all wearing the same dull grey uniform.

MS/LS of the family running down corridor as they get closer. Out of breath.

They stop to a halt when they reach the opening, the shutters are now half way down the door. Mum and Dad stop while Daughter steps forward, she then notices they don’t follow her.

CU on daughter‘s face as mother speaks.

MOTHER

(in a stern voice, but sounding hesitant.)

You step out there and you’ll

never see me or your father again.

2.

DAUGHTER

(close to tears)

But what if I want my own life?

I have dreams, ambitions… I want

to travel around without…

(Pause)

Being chased by mad security men!

As this dialogue has been exchanged, the camera is now focused on the gap the shutter has created leaving space only just for one.

FATHER

(hesitant, but still speaks)

Go! Lead the life your brother

could not. Go! Don’t turn back.

We love you.

Security men have caught up and are just two footsteps behind them.

Camera on Fiona as she pushes her way out just has the shutters close.

Mother and Father are trapped. The alarm is still sounding. What was a brightly light white corridor is now dark and dim. A gun is fired.

FADE OUT.

ACT ONE

FADE IN:

EXT. LOCATION #1 – NIGHT

The camera is now on Fiona outside of this warehouse-like building. We hear the gunshots previous from the teaser throughout the corridor and outside the building.

CU on Fiona’s reaction. She starts to run, across a road, another road, down a street. As she is running the camera then focuses on a turning into a alley passageway.

It’s pretty dark compared to the streets and pats previously with street lamps, so hardly anything can be seen.

Fiona, realising she needs to be alone, runs into the alley and then a hand comes from the corner of the shot and grabs her, pulling her to the side into the wall.

UP AGAINST ALLEY WALL

A mysterious man is holding Fiona up to the wall, pinning her by her shoulders. He starts to smile then laugh.

MAN

(slightly chuckling)

Fiona, Fiona. Very long time no see.

My, my, I thought it would have been

harder to track you down and hold you

against this very wall.

FIONA

(through gritted teeth)

If you knew the day I have had (beat)

you wouldn’t mess.

This makes the man laugh even more.

MAN

Wait till I tell your parents your

so-called spy skills are not up to

scratch.

FIONA

Didn’t know people like you could

communicate from beyond the grave.

MAN

Now you’ve confused me, I’ll give

you a point for that, but minus

five because you’re the one who’s

pinned to the wall.

FIONA

(she loses it, and starts screaming.)

They are dead! They are dead!

They are dead!

The mysterious man looks at Fiona in shock. He then unpins her from the wall and holds her in his arms, walking her to back up the alley to a car that has now appeared on the road.

Fiona does not protest or try to escape from his clutches. She simply mutters the same thing over and over again.

FIONA

They are dead! They are dead!

They are dead!

The man opens the car door, slides her in, then, hands free, pulls out a syringe and injects her arm while she is still screaming about her parent’s death.

INT. LOCATION #2 – NIGHT

Fiona then falls back onto the back seats and the silence. We hear the door is slammed shut.

Camera stays on Fiona’s body on the back seat of the car. While the man’s voice over is heard, we hear keys, the engine and the audience should notice that the car is moving.

MAN (V.O)

I’m sorry Fiona. Your parents

were such fine assets to this

country. Shame they picked a

fool like me to protect you.

Dear Sir/Madam

Last night (29/07/09) I went onto the O2 Games Website on my Nokia 5220 Xpress Music phone and downloaded Bejewelled Twist for £5 between 10pm and 11pm. My phone then ran out of battery so i was unable to play the game when it had finished the download.
When I got up in the morning I put my phone on charge and received a text message from the number 3128012, at 8:41 am saying; “O2 100% Mobile: You have been charged £5.00 for Bejewelled Twist.”
I then opened up the game, waited for it to load and clicked play, while loading, the words Application Error came onto the screen, i clicked on details and got “OutOfMemoryError Java/lang/outofmemoryerror”.
I have tried several times but still the game refuses to work.
Is it possible to have a refund or another copy of the game that actually works?
My whole family have O2 numbers as well as myself and we have done for the last 4 or 5 years.

Many Thanks

As many of you may know, I am a complete addict to Bejewelled on Facebook, so having it not work on my phone meant CRISIS. I will update when I get a reply.

All The Best

Everything seems tall,
For a being so small.
A thin black body,
Thin black legs.
They can crawl on the ground, pathway, window ledge.
Up to a 100g a male can weigh,
All over the world going on their way.
Poor flyer’s, but excellent at surviving,
More than 300,000 species means they are thriving.

Thank you for being so patient while I was writing this.  (:

DAUGHTER

(close to tears)

But what if I want my own life? I have dreams, ambitions… I want to travel around without…

(slight pause, she looks around)

Being chased by made security men!

(as this dialogue has been exchanged, the camera is now focused on the gap the shutter has created leaving space only just for one.)

FATHER

(hesitant, but still speaks)

Go! Lead the life your brother could not. Go! Don’t turn back. Fiona, we love you. Run!

(security men have caught up and are just two footsteps behind them. Camera on Fiona as she pushes her way out just has the shutters close. Mother and Father are trapped. The alarm is still sounding. What was a brightly light white corridor is now dark and dim. A gun is fired. )

SCENE 2. OUTSIDE BUILDING

(The camera is now on Fiona outside of this warehouse-like building. We hear the gunshot echo throughout the corridor and outside the building.)

2nd July – “Where’s Your Life Heading?”

9th July – “What’s Worthwhile/What Do You Value In Your Life?”

16th July – “How Will You Spend Your Dash?”

It was presented by Alex White and Myself and included special guests every week. Namely, Russell, Adrian, Beth, Feoilim and Chrissy.

Russell provided our music and playlists with songs and artists that included; Casting Crowns, Relient K, The Gentleman and Hillsong United.

Step 1. I put some oil in a frying pan and placed two rashers of bacon in it. I then got some grated cheese and two slices of bread from the fridge. I then put the grated cheese onto the two slices of bread and put them into the microwave for 30 seconds.

Step 2. I then chopped up two lettuce leafs and a tomato, and then put the slices and bits onto the two slices of bread.

Step 3. The bacon was ready so i put it onto one of the slices of bread and put the other on top. I then cut it into triangles using a sharp knife.

 So there you have it. How to make a BLT Sandwich… Just don’t make it when you have to get changed and ready and get to work in 40 minutes. You may be late.
