Alone
*Girl sitting at desk and doing homework then gets email from schoolteacher*
Good morning, Class,
In tomorrow’s lesson we are going to be presenting the childhood memory projects you’ve been working on for the past 2 weeks. You must bring in your projects tomorrow. No excuses.
Thank you, Miss Stone
Annabelle – *reads out letter from teacher* Muuumm! Where do we keep the old pictures from when I was youngerr!! *No reply* Oh she must have left for her dinner. Mm I bet the pictures will be in the attic. *Annabelle gets up from desk and heads to the attic*
*Annabelle walks up the stairs and see’s the attic, she grabs a chair and puts it under the opening, then reaches for the sliding lid/door to open the attic, camera switches to a POV shot of the ladder inside the attic facing down as she pulls the ladder out*
*Annabelle climbs up the ladder steps and reaches the top*
Annabelle – They better be in here.
*Annabelle climbs into the attic and starts looking for the pictures, she finds a box labelled ‘childhood memories’, she opens the box and finds an album labelled ‘Young Annabelle’*
Annabelle – Aww I remember these so well, I’ll take this whole book down with me. *Camera switches to POV of opposite side of attic facing the back of Annabelle but clear that a black gloved and hatted figure is peering into the attic watching her and accidently knocking something over*
Annabelle – *turns round to the entrance of the attic* What was that. *Looks around and gets creeped out from the attic* It’s getting kinda creepy in here now, I better go.
*Annabelle shuts the box and grabs her album and then climbs down the ladder, switches the light of, pushes up the ladder and closes the door* *She then sees a black glove on the floor, and looks around her with a scared expression*
Annabelle – Hello?! Is anyone there?! *Moment of silence as she stands there and looks around* I’ve been watching too many horrors recently. *Shrugs then goes back downstairs*
* * *
*A bit later, Annabelle is doing her washing, she opens the washing machine and camera switches to a POV of washing machine door, so we see Annabelle as she opens the washing machine door* *She puts the washing powder in and turns the washing dial to ‘mixed load’ button, then she switches it on to start washing*
*Annabelle’s phone starts ringing and it says, ‘No caller ID’, she answers, very sceptical about who’s on the other side of the phone*
Friend – *camera is still on Annabelle, voice over is speaking* Hey, have you done your project, It’s due tomorrow?
Annabelle – Oh thank God it’s only you.
Friend – *camera switches to friend who is watching Annabelle through the window* Who did you think it was gonna be?
Annabelle – Oh haha, just had this feeling I was *as Annabelle is speaking, there is her friend dressed in all black in the background appearing in the window, looking into the utility room where Annabelle is facing the other way still talking* I don’t know being stalked or something? *She looks around again*
Friend – *camera is showing the back of the friend as she watches Annabelle through the window, we see her too* Right, you’re overthinking this, you’re probably just paranoid cause your home alone.
Annabelle – Hahah, yeah, you’re right, that’s what I was thinking. Wait how did you know I was home alone?
*Camera switches to POV of the figure watching through the window so we see Annabelle standing there on her phone*
Friend – Oh, I was guessing. Anyways I’ll see you tomorrow.
Annabelle – Uh. Yeah Okay.
