This document appears to be a production script for a short film titled "Darkness". It provides direction for various camera shots that will be used to tell the story. The script describes Dave having nightmares about a dark figure and people dying around him. In one dream, Dave finds his neighbor dead and is confronted by his own shadow in the form of a grim reaper. Dave later seeks help from a psychologist and explains that he keeps having visions of people dying after he tries to help them, and their hearts stop beating when he touches them.

What’s wrong Dave (PSYCHOLOGIST) Talking
I have been having these visions and dreams of people
dying these people I have seen in my dreams are
people that I have tried to help and when I help things
go wrong and they die I didn't know who to talk to
about this. The people that I helps hearts stop beating
when I touch them I also keep seeing a dark figure
where ever I go but the first time I had seen it was in
my nightmare. I feel as if something dark and evil has
latched on to me. I think that I’m the reason people are
dying.
