FADE IN:
EXT. ABANDONED HOUSE – SUNSET
A dilapidated Victorian house stands isolated, its paint
peeled and roof caved in spots. Overgrown grass chokes the
path to the porch.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – CONTINUOUS
SHAFTS OF DUSTY LIGHT pierce through cracked windowpanes.
Mismatched furniture, long forgotten. A moth flutters near a
cobwebbed chandelier.
A MAN (40s), rugged and quiet, enters. His face weathered,
eyes hollow. He carries a FILM CAMERA in one hand, a SMALL
TRIPOD in the other.
He stops.
Looks around.
Takes a deep breath — a mix of memory and dust.
He kneels, gently places the camera on the floor. Sets up the
tripod.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE – VARIOUS ROOMS – SERIES OF SHOTS
— The Man moves through the house methodically.
— He wipes grime from a mirror, revealing his reflection. He
stares. Lingers. Walks on.
— In the KITCHEN, he pauses at an old mug on a table. Picks
it up. Smiles faintly. Sets it back exactly where it was.
— In the BEDROOM, he opens a drawer. Pulls out a CHILD’S
SHOE. He sits on the bed. Clutches it. His shoulders tremble
— not quite crying.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
2.
Darkness now, except for a single oil lamp glowing beside the
camera.
The Man sits in a wooden chair, facing the lens.
He hits RECORD.
A soft red light blinks.
He breathes in, deeply. Looks directly at the camera. Holds
eye contact.
Slowly, he raises a photograph — a WOMAN and CHILD — both
smiling. He places it gently next to the lamp.
The house creaks.
He closes his eyes.
INT. ABANDONED HOUSE – LIVING ROOM – LATER
The camera remains recording.
The chair is empty.
Lamp flickering.
A breeze rustles through the broken window.
The photograph remains.
FADE TO BLACK.
