INT. DAVIES HOUSE – ALICE’S LIVING ROOM – EVENING

ALICE AND ZOMBIE#3

A YOUNG, VULNERABLE 16 YEAR OLD GIRL IS ALONE WATCHING TV AT NIGHT WHEN SUDDENLY THE TV FLICKERS, ALONG WITH THE LIGHT WHEN A LOUD NOISE OCCURS OUT OF NOWHERE. ASSUMING SOMEONE IS AT THE KITCHEN WINDOW, ALICE MAKES HER WAY OVER TO IT AND PERCHES HERSELF UPON THE KITCHEN COUNTER, BEFORE SCOURING THE GARDEN THROUGH THE WINDOW. AS SHE DOES THIS A HAND BANGS AGAINST THE WINDOW PANE AND STARTLES HER. THINKING IT’S AN INJURED PERSON SHE SCRAMBLES IN THE DRAWERS, SEARCHING FOR A TORCH TO USE AS A LIGHT SOURCE SO SHE CAN GO OUTSIDE AND HELP THE ‘INNOCENT CIVILLIAN’(AS THE OUTSIDE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK). AS SOON AS ALICE FINDS THE TORCH SHE RUNS TOWARDS THE DOOR AND OPENS IT, HEADING STRAIGHT FOR OUTSIDE. WITH IT BEING TOTAL BLACKNESS SHE TURNS ON THE TORCH AND SCANS THE GARDEN LOOKING FOR THE MYSTERIOUS FIGURE SHE ASSUMES TO BE HURT WHEN THE DOOR BEHIND HER CLOSES WITH AN ALMIGHTY FORCE WHICH CAUSES HER TO BE SCARED AND IN RETURN DROP THE TORCH. AS ALICE IS NOW IN BLACKNESS SHE PROCEEDS TO PICK IT UP AND AS SHE STANDS UP AND TURNS TO SEARCH FOR THE VICTIM AGAIN, THE ‘MYSTERIOUS FIGURE’ TURNS OUT TO BE A ZOMBIE AND IS  STANDING FACE TO FACE TO HER. AS ALICE SCREAMS, THE FILM FINISHES ON A CLIFFHANGER.
