Bruce Mellows, who is dead, has been trying to take his pills but cannot. He sees hallucinations and goes for a walk, trying to talk to others. He sees the hallucination again in a small town and argues with himself about getting help. Bruce follows the hallucination by a canal, hoping to get answers. The hallucination tells Bruce that if he follows, he will understand but also die and not feel. Bruce decides to follow the hallucination through a dark room and door, despite pleas not to go to hell, as the hallucination says everything happens for a reason.
2. FADE IN:
We start with the Bruce Mellows in the bath room trying
to take his pills. This begins to anger him because is
not able to take them because he is dead, Just by the
side of Bruce Mellows is the first sighting of a
hallucination which only the audience sees, Bruce then
decides to go for a walk.
EXT. Standard street - Midday
Bruce leaves his house and sees to guys walking with each
other talking about a film (Donnie Darko) he decides to
walk with them and join in with their conversation even
though they can’t hear him can’t here him.
Man 1
So what you think of Donnie Darko then?
Man 2
It completely mind fucked me, like what
was the end even about?
Bruce Mellows
Don’t you guys get it? it’s a parallel
univ…
Man 1
Im pretty sure it’s just about a kid
who’s messed up in the head.
Bruce Mellows
No! It has a deeper meaning to it
Man 2
More than likely yeah,they did say
something about the Donnie kid not taking
his pills
EXT. Small Town
Once the conversation finishes Bruce Mellows finds him
self in a town where there are plenty of people walking
around. Among the crowd of people Bruce sees the
hallucination for the first time. Bruce is now talking to

Bruce 2

to stay in the soft white room.

breathing in their feels strange.
Bruce 1
Wait! What was that
Bruce sees the Hallucination up close with its disturbing
face.
Bruce 2

Bruce 1

EXT. Bruce heads towards the canal to look back on what
has happened on this day. The water calms him and he is
no longer arguing with him self
EXT. Canal
Bruce 1
The canal isn't going to keep me happy
for ever, I need to figure whats going on

Bruce notices the hallucination again and decides to
follow it.
Bruce 1
What the fuck was that.
Bruce 2
Piss Off leave me alone, leave me alone!
The hallucination walks along the canal, Bruce decides to
follow it.
Hallucination
seuitur,sequitur,sequitur.
Bruce 1
What are you saying, please explain what
is going on.
5. .4
The hallucination disappears and Bruce isn’t sure where
he is going so he just follows the canal all the way
down. Hoping that he can get some answers from the
strange hallucination.
Bruce 2
Maybe if i keep going this way i can
find some answers maybe ill finally be
free.
Bruce 1
Answers, I need answers. Where
are you, come back. What the fuck is
going on.
The hallucination speaks out to Bruce in a soft tone
trying to communicate to him properly, this is the first
time the hallucination is talking English.
Hallucination
If you follow you will understand, but if you follow you
will die. If you follow your spirt will be free, but if
you follow you will not feel.
Bruce 2

Hallucination
If you follow you will understand, but if you follow you
will die. If you follow your spirt will be free, but if
you follow you will not feel.

are you talking about!
Bruce 2
Hell you mean hell, no no you cant please
Bruce 1

Hallucination
Follow me
Bruce is to confused to understand what is happening so
his only option is to follow the hallucination, he finds
the hallucination comforting because it’s the only thing
he's been able to make communication with, this makes him
feel less lonely. Bruce follows the hallucination down
the canal until he sees a very dark area, the
hallucination walks in to this area, Bruce then follows
him.

correctly and i have never broken a law.
