BOY SITTING AT LAPTOP LATE AT NIGHT THINKING
TEENAGE BOY WEARING NORMAL CLOTHES AND
GLASSES
SITTING AT LAPTOP THINKING HARD ABOUT IDEAS GETTING
FRUSTRATED
Pacing back and forth in kitchen
Sits back down at laptop only to get up
Pacing around living room
Lying in awkward position on chair
Looks at clock sees the time is 3:02am
"I think its time for bed" he says
Gets up and walks down hall into bedroom.
As he leaves room he turns around and runs back to his
laptop and quickly starts new story
Starts typing into script
"A man is working hard late into
the night. He looks at the clock
and see’s its 3:02am and he decides
to go to bed, as he goes to bed he
thinks he see’s something. When he
realizes there’s nothing there he
walks away only to show there is a
figure in the window."
He looks at the screen and has a sigh of relife, seeming
satified he looks back at the clock and sees the time still
reads 3:02am
Looking puzzled he puts his glasses on to closely read the
clock and sees it acually says 3:46am
Surprised it has gotten so late he gets up and walks off to
bed
As he walks away there is a figure in the window

calls the number, only to get a
busy signal. He calls the phone
again. This time someone answers,
its a girl sounds like shes in her
teens. She says hello a couple
times before he gets the courage to
say hello back..."
Boy hears girls voice saying hello through a phone
He stands up and looks at the phone to see its off the hook
He grabs the phone looking very confused and answers
Boy: Hello.
Girl: Hello? Who are you?
Boy: I was about to ask that I
believe you left my number at my
doorstep.
Girl: Oh thats right I did! I heard
you were a writer and well I want
to be a writer but I need some
advice.
Boy: Oh yeah? what do you need to
know?
There is no response just a busy signal again
Boy holds phone away from ear and looks confused, he hangs
up the phone and goes over to the coffee maker to pour
another cup

he looks at his computer screen he gets startled and spits
his coffee out

number, then I wrote about a girl
answering and it happend, and then

FADE TO BLACK
Oh my goodness this was so brilliant! I loved the twist at the end too! I can’t even begin to express how amazing this is. So well written and you really have no idea how the story ends until the last few lines. Great creativity, bravo! Please tell me you want to be a writer?!
