The room is silent and everyone looks around. James is still standing there looking very afraid
and confused of the thing and Nick. Sindel can be heard crying in the back ground. Nick and
Brandon just stare at each other with compassion and sadness for their lost friend. Brandon
breaks the silence by sitting down in one of the chairs and rubbing his head with his hand in
thought, as he lets out a large breath (nervous wreck, in disbelief).
Brandon: (he looks up at the group as he runs his fingers down his face slowly while talking in a
calm voice) What the hell...is going on?
James: (looking very out-of it) He was just standing there and....then...that thing.....it
just......(talking to nobody)
Sindel comes over and Brandon and they embrace. Brandon starts to tear up. Suddenly Nick
turns on the radio in desperation., Breaks with a special news report. Close up of radio showing
8:00pm.. Then close ups of each person as they listen to the news.
News report: We interrupt this program for an emergency news bulletin. The Entire world
has been declared in a state of emergency. Approximately two hours ago the sun
disappeared from the earths sight. Special forces are investigating this phenomenon of
biblical-proportions at this time. It seems the sun has just completely vanished from our
Universe. Wild theories have been made from all over the world. From black holes, to
apocalyptic comings. Everyone is confined to their homes at this time while details are
sketchy. Lootings and mass murders have spread through-out the world in the panic. The
Death toll has been estimated at over half a billion people since six o'clock this evening. We
can offer no advice except to stay in your houses and homes while this strange and
unprecedented event is fully investigated. If the sun cannot be relocated this world may
indeed suffer the dire consequence of the end of all life on this planet. I repeat this is a
Global emergency!! Please, stay in your homes, it is extremely dangerous to go outside.
Mass murders have been occurring....(Suddenly it goes to fuzz, and then Nick turns it off, All of
them look at each other with horror.)
Sindel: (flipping out) Oh my God, we're all going to die in this room!!
Brandon: Hey, baby. (Not answering, still going on) SINDEL!!! (She stops and listens) We're
not going to die. First we just gotta deal with that thing behind the door. Then lets worry
about the sun. (They look into each others eyes again.) I'm telling you, I'm not going to
leave you... ever!!
