SETTING: BRIGHT RED SPACE — TIMING UNKNOWN

A twenty-six-year-old woman by the name of May, stands in the center of a red plane. An open space of nothingness.

Surrounding her, a group of people stand in a mindless matter, with their faces stuck in the sky above. May is confused as to what is going on.

She doesn’t say anything, just waiting to see what’s going to happen next. She doesn’t move, only spinning her head in different directions as the bodies stand around her, still not forming any human actions.

May conjures the courage to move first, barely reaching a hand out to a motionless man in front of her, before…

His body suddenly suffers a large gash across his neck and shoulder. This gash nearly splits the man down the middle, before fountains of blood sprout out the stranger, and his body drops to the ground.

May gasps.

Withdrawing her hand, the blood gets on her, following a sequence of sudden deaths happening to the other mindless people around her. One by one, the others are cut down, with their blood raining on her as well.

May’s anxiety builds, as she turns in every direction to see all of this. With no killer in sight, she screams.

INT. MAY’S BEDROOM — NIGHTFALL

May wakes up in her room. A nightmare is what she realizes had happened, as she looks down into her hands, before covering her face with them.

She speaks to herself.

MAY: Get a grip May.

INT. FRONT ROOM — MORNING

Morning comes around and May enters the front room of her two-bedroom apartment. Seeing her younger sister sitting at the dining room table, Clarissa, is already having breakfast.

Clarissa immediately notices her big sister.

CLARISSA: You look like crap.

MAY: I feel like it too.

May opens the fridge before closing it right back up.

MAY: I guess I have to go shopping.

CLARISSA: What do you mean — there’s plenty to eat in there.

MAY: Yeah, but there’s nothing I want.

May leans on the kitchen counter, now carrying a strong thinking face.

CLARISSA: It’s safe to assume that last night you didn’t sleep well either?

May nods.

MAY: It’s going on six days now that I’ve barely been able to get a lick of real sleep.

CLARISSA: Wanna talk about it?

May shrugs her shoulders.

MAY: What is there to talk about?

CLARISSA: Your past. That has to be what is bothering you.

May thinks shortly into this.

MAY: I’m not sure anymore.

May looks at the watch on her wrist.

MAY: I picked up an extra client though, so I guess I’ll get ready for that.

May grabs her backpack and her keys and heads for the front door.

MAY: I’m skipping breakfast today. I’ll be going to the grocery store later. Just send me a list if you want something.

Clarissa nods, stuffing her mouth with more of her bagel. The sound of the front door closing is heard in Clarissa’s background.

INT. CAFÉ — MORNING

May sits down at a table by herself, opening her laptop. The café is semi empty, with only a handful of workers at the front.

May gets a nice view out the window, before a video chat request comes in on her laptop. May accepts.

Appearing on the screen, is her friend Zeon, a man who’s thirty-one years of age.

ZEON: Catch you at a bad time?

MAY: I wouldn’t say that. But I do have a meeting in a few minutes, so I can’t be on here long with you. Why, what’s up?

ZEON: Well, I haven’t heard from you in a few days. I was starting to worry.

MAY: Sorry. I’ve just been in my head a lot.

ZEON: Still aren’t sleeping?

MAY: Not really.

May rests her head on her fists.

MAY: Shit sucks. Feels like I’m falling apart, but I don’t know why.

ZEON: May, do you need –

MAY: I’m fine. I’m fine.

May ruffles her hair with both of her hands.

MAY: My sister is keeping me tons of company. She’s keeping me mentally together, so I don’t feel like I’m going to fall over the edge.

Zeon sighs.

ZEON: Ok. But before you go, I need to ask you one more thing. Have you…experienced anything weird?

MAY: Weird? No. I’ve been keeping low.

ZEON: Alright. Stay alert. Even though it’s been five years, you don’t want to chance making a single mistake. They could still be watching.

MAY: Yeah. I expect that.

ZEON: I’ll check back in with you in a few days.

May nods and the video chat ends. She sighs and sinks her head into her arms that she folds on the table.

INT. CAFÉ (HOURS LATER) — EVENING

The café is now empty, and the workers are starting to clean up. May sighs and closes her laptop, packing up shortly after.

She speaks to herself.

MAY: I need a break.

EXT. LOCAL STREET — EVENING

May leaves the café and heads down the street. The streets are empty, with cars not even coming down the way.

MAY: I could get used to this peacefulness. I don’t really see this nowadays. It’s usually noisy as fuck down this way.

EXT. RIVERBANK. PARK — EVENING

May moves alongside the local Riverbank Park. Here, there isn’t anyone in sight as well. This raises an eyebrow to her.

MAY: Ok, now something isn’t right.

May moves her head back and forth, checking her surroundings carefully.

MAY: People are normally here. There’s just no way that not a single person or vehicle has been seen, and I’ve walked several blocks now, near the main road. Especially at the park around this time.

May comes to a sudden stop. Upon feeling a disturbing chill, she slowly turns around.

She’s been on the run from the League for five years now. She maintains as quiet of a life as possible. With that being said, twenty-six-year-old May, is being tracked down by a faction of assassins, who have the ability to dispose of their targets, by murdering them in their dreams. Using what they call, “Dream Magic,” May has to face manipulated nightmares, with death by dream, being death foreal.
