Scene 1: They're Made Of Shadows

from MADE OF SHADOWS by ABEARICA & DEEP ROOTED

/

lyrics

INT. HOSPITAL - NIGHT
The sounds of a busy hospital. Voices over intercoms, people walking, and a hurried set of HIGH HEELED FOOSTEPS.

NURSE:
Doctor?

DOCTOR:
Yes?

NURSE:
I need your attention in room 31B, please.

The high heeled footsteps now walk with a pair of LOAFERS.

DOCTOR:
What’s the problem?

NURSE:
Security just brought a man in here
who ran in from outside. They’re considering calling the police, but...

DOCTOR:
Police? Why, is he dangerous?

NURSE:
No. He’s asking for help.

The screams of a CRAZY MAN are heard.

CRAZY MAN:
Please! Shut the doors!

DOCTOR:
Is he secure?

NURSE:
He’s not going anywhere.

DOCTOR:
Sir? Sir, I need you to relax.

CRAZY MAN:
Lock the doors! Turn all of the
lights on!

DOCTOR:
Sir, please! I can’t help you unless you tell me what the problem is.
The Crazy Man’s breathing relaxes.

CRAZY MAN:
They’re made of shadows.

DOCTOR:
They...

CRAZY MAN:
Them. My wife was making something
stupid... the stupid casserole she makes with Tuna Fish... and it came, and it took her.

DOCTOR (to the Nurse):
Have you been in touch with Psych?

CRAZY MAN:
I’m not making this up.

The Nurse begins to walk away.

DOCTOR (to the Crazy Man):
I’m not saying you are sir. Listen, let’s take this back a notch. What’s your name?

NURSE:
Doctor?

DOCTOR:
Yes?

NURSE:
Listen...

All of the sounds of the hospital are silent.

Beat.

DOCTOR (to Nurse):
Where is everyone?

NURSE:
I don’t know...
(to somewhere away) Oh, hey! Hey, excuse me! Is everything all right?

CRAZY MAN:
No, no, no, no...

The Doctor walks away.

Beat.

DOCTOR:
Who is it?

NURSE:
I can barely see him, hello?

CRAZY MAN:
Please close the door!
DOCTOR (to the Crazy Man):
Sir, please try and calm down, it just looks like we’re having a problem with the electricity, the Nurse and I will be... Nurse?
I must say I don’t find this slightly...
She is cut short. The Crazy Man starts whimpering anew.

CRAZY MAN:
No. No. No. No...
The sounds of him struggling against his confinement heighten. Scratching and pulling.

CRAZY MAN (CONT’D):
Nonononono... Please!
There is a sound, like an echoed digital whisper through burlap, and the Crazy Man falls silent.

CRAZY MAN (CONT’D):
I don’t want to go...
