You see figures, a blur, a large blur, but you clearly see figures walking in the opposite direction. You have no idea how far it has been since you started. 100 feet? 110? 120? 130? 140? The feet just keep passing as take step after step. You jump a fence and keep running. You say to yourself that you can't stop, but soon you know you will have to. You turn down a main road and head into a cafe. You sit down at the counter. The waiter comes up to you. You decide to order a hot chocolate and a chocolate chip muffin, hold the chocolate. You think to yourself why you didn't order a plain muffin. All of the sudden, you turn to look at the door. A man is standing with a gun, he shoots the gun at you and..."

[The boy wakes with a start. He looks at his alarm clock to check the time.]

[He sits forward and throws his legs to the side of the bed. He holds the back of his hand up to his forehead and looks disgustedly at the ground in front of him. He jumps up and walks out of his bedroom. He pauses for a moment before heading down the stairs. He opens the front door of his house and walk outside. He sits down on the porch. Two people are putting things in the car as they prepare for a road trip.]

[Mother]: Are you feeling okay?

[Child]: I was just going to to say goodbye to you before you left.

[A car pulls up and parks along the side of the road in front of the house. A young man and woman get out of the car.]

[Father]: Well there's my brother...

[Father's Brother]: Hey, how're you doing?

[Father]: Great, who's this?

[Father's Brother]: Oh, this is my girlfriend. I'd just thought you'd meet her...

[Mother]: Great, just what we need. Two irresponsible people watching my son.

[Father]: Would you rather leave him alone?

[Child]: Yeah!

[Father]: Real- Yeah, I know you'd like that.

[Mother]: Come on, we've got to go...

[The mother and father begin to walk to the car. Another man dressed in all black walks down the sidewalk.]

[Father]: GET IN THE CAR!

[Man]: You three!

[He takes out a gun and points it at the father's brother, his girlfriend, and the child.]

[Man]: Stay back!

[Father]: GET IN THE-

[There are two loud shots. The father and mother fall to the ground. The man turns back the direction he came from and runs off. The child stares forward, emotionless. The father's brother sits down next to the child and then his girlfriends sits down next to him.]

[Father's Brother, putting his arm around the child and speaking in a soft, gentle voice]: It's going to be okay... It's going to be okay.

[As he says this the child starts to cry. The camera cuts to a top down shot and then eventually zooms up and fades to black.]
