Below you will see my interpretation of a movie script start for a Redwall film.  Please note, all characters and location are owned by Brian Jacques and  The Redwall Abbey Company Limited Enjoy! FADE IN:  EXT. SCARY FOREST - NIGHT We focus in on a figure running through the forest. The scene keeps cutting between a black screen and the figure. We can hear her breathing fast as she holds something close to her chest. Again, a black screen. We cut back and we see the figures face now. A mouse mother ( MATTHIAS MOTHER ) holding her babe close to her chest. She glances back, fear still in her eyes as she runs faster. Again, a black screen. Back to the scene, we see her running ever harder, this time we see figures moving in the shadows of the trees, creepy red eyes darting back and forth. Black screen again. We see the mouse mother burst through the forest line, ahead of her, the entrance way to REDWALL ABBEY . She runs with all her might and collapses at the foot of the ABB...

Hello all! Please see below the initial game script for the first narrative section of the game design I am working on "Project Lyria" Enjoy! OPEN ON:  EXT. LARGE GRASSY FIELD - DAY It's a warm summers day. BIRDS CHIRPING can be heard, BEES BUZZING among the colorful mass of flowers dotted in the field. A slight warm breeze RUSTLES through the tall grass, and there is not a cloud in the sky.  A child bursts INTO VIEW, running through the field. He is a VILLAGE BOY, around 8 years of age, wearing simple clothing. A smile beams across his face as he bursts into giddy laughter, his hands outstretched as he runs furthermore.  Suddenly a RUMBLE breaks the peace. The boy stops running, and turns.  2. ANGLE BEHIND BOYS HEAD - 7 KINGDOMS ON THE HORIZON Seen at first from the view of the child, we see the KINGDOMS OF LYRIA - each being engulfed by a LARGE STORM of shadow and darkness.  3. BACK TO SCENE As the storm rages, the boy turns to see his HOMESTEAD in the distanc...

Andrew Allen - Writing Showcase 001 - 117 - Chapter One 117 One Whack! Again, the hand came down, slapping the top of the alarm clock in one swift motion.  He didn't need this today. Not today of all days. " Review no. 117 - Assessment of ethical conduct in the workplace." "Coffee..." Warden said, sighing heavily as he sat upright in bed, wondering should he go formal, or think screw it - what's the point.  117. One hundred and seventeen times he had been called in throughout the 200 years of service on the force, and each time resulted in the same outcome - a "polite" slap on the wrist and told "not to do it again"..  What "it" was god only knows. All he knew was that he didn't get to where he was by being "ethical". He got answers. Whether that was "ethical" or not, he couldn't give a damn.  Standing up, he looked around the room. The usual routine, Stretch, assess, and ensure that the enhancers wer...
