Script

The protagonist proceeds to enter in a hospital on a relatively dark afternoon, once inside he/she will speak to the receptionist who will also appear to be a nurse. After, the nurse guides the main character towards a room in which the protagonist's brother/sister will be found unconscious lying down on a bed, the nurse leaves the room. The protagonist sits next to him/her and when is about to place his/her hand on the patient's head, instantly enters on the respective dream. The dream will have an abandoned house setting in a rural area . Within the dream, the protagonist realizes that is being accompanied by his/her brother/sister, however this doesn't stop him/her from keeping following the dream's guidance, . So not long after, both of them enter in the abandoned house, the duo separates itself to effectively explore the unknown establishment. Continuing on, suddenly the protagonist will hear a loud scream, after this he/she runs quickly towards the horrific noise. When the main character reaches the specific location, he/she will be shocked when encountering his/her companion's dead body on the floor. Consequentially, the protagonist looks up and witness the creature behind the murder (for obvious budget reasons the creature will appear only as a shadow). Instantly after this event, the principal character proceeds to run for his/her life, however he/she finds himself/herself cornered by the beast in a corridor with no exit. Suddenly the protagonist finds a sub-machine gun that he/she will fire at the monster. From this point on the audience will just see a first person point of view of the creature being about to reach the protagonist. When all hope seems lost, suddenly the main character wakes up in the hospital room. However, the patient will be found dead with the machine not detecting any kind of heart beat. Directly afterwards, a doctor and the nurse burst into the room trying to help the already gone person. And finally we cut back at the protagonist exhausted outside the hospital, he/she settles down and for a moment realizes that his/her hands are covered in blood (this shot will also be from the main character's first person view), but in a blink of an eye the blood disappears and the protagonist closes his/her fists. The screen turns off and the title rolls in.
