So what do I do?

I shall replace the word WANT with the words SHALL WORK.

I am an Indian. The best I should do is stop complaining, and work out what I can do from my side.

The Battle of M

The idea has been shelved, and I got so pissed, that I am gonna delete the word document. But I think I have done a good job here, so I am posting my latest screenplay for a two minute short film here.

From the darkness, the scene is revealed.

P.O.V shots

1.         We see the board the The company hanging on the building, to where we are going to get in. The camera looks down to see a gate. The word turns red. A soft, white hand raises and opens the gate slowly. And we hear the voice of a lady.

M

The first time I got in this world, I was petrified. It was new, and it wasn’t easy. I was not the alien in here, but this place was alien to me.

The camera moves forward to show car, beside which sits the two dogs. They both look at the camera, and we see the evil faces appear on them. They are the evil guards.

M

I was greeted by the guards, only, they weren’t just guards.

2.         The camera reveals the stairs towards the office. The camera moves up through the stairs, to the door, which she opens slowly.

M

The journey was not easy. There were hardships, pain, sorrows. But every journey is for a cause. Mine was for a purpose, mine was to meet my destiny. Mine was to fight.

3.         The camera reveals the door to the office, which the hand slowly opens. Inside we see the employees of The company. Each person’s face is revealed to be a devil’s face. A close-up shot of everyone with the evil face.

M

And inside, I met my foes, the perfect opponents. They were waiting for the untainted soul, and I was there for them. They wanted me so bad. The fresh meat, the hot blood. They were looking for all of it.

Everyone stands up and joins as a group with an evil grin on everyone’s face. The main person among them stands forward and raises both his hand with the widest grin ever. He is welcoming her.

M

They wouldn’t let go of me. They wanted my soul. What they didn’t know was one simple thing.

The camera turns around to reveal M, our girl, smiling. A bright light shines around her. She is shown holding a sword. She smiles.

M

That I came prepared.

The scene abruptly jumps to darkness.

M

And it was only the beginning.
