We fade to a CRT television set displaying static for a few seconds, a colorful graphic with words *The 13 AM News* appears with a whimsical fanfare, A news reporter in a run down environment resembling a newsroom appears.

News reporter:

Welcome back to the 13 AM news, your number one source of the latest events of one place to another, for news of here, another child has gone missing in a phenomenon of several disappearances involving children of ages 7-12 years, some believe common stuff like this being the work of a criminal and others are getting quite drastic believing it's aliens, we now go to our president Gloria Bush, who has something to say about the disappearances of our youth.

We cut to Gloria sitting on a black chair within a black room.

Gloria:

We're really quite baffled by recent events involving the recent disappearances.

We start zooming towards Gloria.

Gloria:

People who have witnessed the disappearances of these children have described the individual as being an immensely tall white male between the ages of 40 - 50 years old, rather muscular and has a scar on one of his cheeks. Hopefully we may find this fiend of our town.

CUT: The newsroom from before.

News reporter:

Absolutely terrible. Anyways, it's now been 1330 days ever since the atomic bomb that struck the little town of Gunomilia hit our town and changed it forever for either the best or the worst.

* Beat, the news reporter then picks up some papers on his table*

News reporter:

Now we move on to international news--

CUT: A teenager asleep in bed, an alarm clock then goes off and the teen wakes up. He rubs his face and smacks his lips, he then starts nudging another person who happens to be in his bed.

???:

Sylvie, get up.

She doesn't wake up, the teen then starts nudging her more.

???:

Sylvia!

She suddenly wakes up, with a confused expression.

Sylvia (Slightly mumbled):

...what Jack?

Jack:

Well...good morning?

Sylvia:

Morning...what time is it?

Jack:

It's uhh...*Grabs his clock* 7AM.

Sylvia:

Ugh...quite early don't you think? Could I stay in bed just for a little bit longer?

Jack:

You know, i'll let you rest a little longer. Would you like some breakfast?

Sylvia:

I guess so.

Jack:

Alright, i'll get going to the kitchen then.

CUT: Jack entering the kitchen, he is seen taking a bowl and a box of cornflakes, he then goes to the fridge and opens it.

Jack (Quietly to himself):

Goddammit...

We then follow him into the other room and we see a morbidly obese man sitting down in a chair watching television with hardcore music in the background.

Jack:

Uncle Marv...

Marvin:

Hm?

Jack:

We have no milk.

Marvin then bursts into laughter and we see Jack's confused expression.

Marvin:

What the fuck are you talking about?! We do! (Points) It's right over there in the corner!

We see a plastic jug of milk in the corner.

Jack:

Uh...alright.

Jack walks over to grab the milk.

Jack:

Why was the milk in here?

Marvin:

I dunno.

Jack:

Out of all the uncles that were available it just had to be you...

Jack walks out.

CUT: The bedroom we were in earlier.

Jack walks in with a bowl of cornflakes.

Jack:

Here you go.

Hans the cornflakes to Sylvia*

Sylvia:

Thanks.

Jack is then seen putting on clothes.

CUT: Jack and Sylvia walking out the door of the building they live in and they start walking down the street.

While they're walking, a young girl in filthy tattered clothing runs up to Sylvia and grabs her by the leg.

CUT: A shot of the girl's face, which is dirty and rather bruised.

Jack tugs at Sylvia's arm.

Jack:

That little tramp may be carrying a horrible plague for all we know Sylvie...

CUT: The girl's face again.

Sylvia eventually pulls the girl's hand away and walks off.

After some more walking, Jack and Sylvia walk into an alleyway.

CUT: An ominous alleyway, Jack and Sylvia walk down it and stop at a door.

Jack knocks on it.

Footsteps are heard and a slightly chubby woman opens it.

Woman:

What do you want?

Jack:

Uhh...we're friends of Marty.

Marty's mom:

Oh i'm sorry! Marty! Your friends are here!

We hear footsteps and Marty's mom walks offscreen, and Marty then appears onscreen.

Marty:

...yes?

Jack:

Are you available?

Marty:

No.

Jack:

C'mon Marty, me and Sylvie are going to do some cool stuff today and it would be a shame if you didn't come with us today...

Marty:

By cool stuff you just mean going to the Slagachippa and eat till we vomit.

Jack:

Please Marty.

Marty:

Beat* ...will Richard be with us?

Jack:

I'll make sure Richy is with us.

Marty sighs.

Marty:

Alright, i'll get going with you.

Marty closes the door and the three characters leave the shot.

CUT:

The three characters walking down the street.

Jack:

We gotta find Richy now. Where'd you think he is?

Marty:

What day is it?

Jack:

Um...Tuesday, why?

Marty:

I think I know where he is.

CUT: A bridge with a factory in the background. The three characters are seen walking under the bridge.

CUT: The underneath of the bridge, there is a river flowing under it. A teen is seen sleeping with a bunch of trash covering him.

The three characters are seen going towards the teen.

Marty (quietly):

...Richard.

Richard murmurs.

Jack:

Lemme wake him up.

Jack takes out a crowbar and starts walking towards Richard.

Marty:

Whoa, whoa what are you doing?

Jack starts poking Richard with the crowbar.

Richard awakes and quickly gets up and takes out a knife and starts slashing the air without know whom he is slashing at.

He then realizes who he is slashing at and then stops.

Marty then walks to Richard.

Richard:

...sorry I thought you were the people from the company past the bridge.

Marty:

It's alright, you wanna go to the Slaggachippa?

Richard nods.

CUT: The exterior of the Slaggachippa.

CUT: The four characters sitting in a cubicle within the restaurant.

Jack:

Alright everyone, so last night something cool happened, me and Sylvie had happened to have found a VCR within a trashcan near some abandoned hospital and there was even some tapes with it.

Marty:

Huh, what were they like?

Jack:

Pretty fucked, we only watched two tapes, one movie involved sadomasochistic sex and guns fusing to hands, Sylvie was pretty freaked out by it.

Sylvia:

Don't remind me.

Jack:

See? And the other one involved some man being killed because of television or whatever.

Sylvia:

It was pretty good actually.

Marty:

Sounds familiar.

Richard takes out a cigarette and lights it.

Richard:

So, how's your fat ass uncle doing?

Jack:

Still alive.

Richard:

That heart has to stop at one point.

Jack:

Yeah, all he does is watch TV and eat chips.

A waiter enters the shot.

Waiter:

(To Richard) Hey, may you put that cigarette out?

Richard:

Alright, hey, when's our food coming?

Waiter:

Shortly.

Richard:

Better be.

Richard puts out the cigarette.

The waiter leaves the shot.

Richard:

Hey Jack, about you and your girl finding a VCR, when's the last time we went exploring buildings? It's been a while you know.

Jack:

Oh yeah.

Another waiter enters the shot with food and places it on the table.

Jack:

Well there's the food.

He grabs a piece and starts eating.

Jack:

Anyways, do any of yous have an idea of where we should go exploring? Marty? Sylvie? Rich you probably have an idea of where you want to go.

Richard:

Well I do have have one idea...

Jack: Oh! Well great. Go ahead and tell us.

Richard:

Well there's this church I found a few nights ago near the location you found me sleeping. Doesn't seem to have be visited in years.

Marty:

How perfect. You know, we should probably bring a camera so we can take some pictures while we're there. You have a camera don't you Sylvia?

Sylvia:

Yeah I think so. I think it's at Jack's apartment.

Marty:

Wait, what if the church still has visitors?

Jack:

Oh c'mon Marty. Let's take a risk.

Sylvia:

That's a bad idea don't you think? One of us could possibly be captured and may even get jail time, those prisons are quite hardcore on the human body and mind...

Marty:

Yeah, one of my uncles got into the town's prison for possessing drugs and he came home with only one eye and missing some toes...

Jack:

Well one of us may just lose a few toes so I think that's a risk we can take.

Marty:

Alright...if anything happens to us, just so you know you brought this on yourself.

Richard:

Who knows, if someone attacks me at the bridge I sleep at, it could possibly be from that church.

Jack:

Hm...

Jack looks behind himself.

Jack:

...I don't like how that man is looking at me...

We see a short, chubby man staring with a menacing expression.

Richard:

He's probably looking at me cuz of the cigarette.

Jack snorts.

Jack:

Probably.

CUT: The hallway within the apartment complex Jack's apartment is in with the four characters.

Jack:

Alright everyone, me and Sylvie are going in to get her camera, you wait here alright?

Marty and Richard nod.

CUT: The interior of the apartment, Jack and Sylvia are seen entering it.

Jack:

So where's your camera Sylvie?

Sylvia:

Um, I think I left it in your room.

Jack:

Alright, i'll get it.

Jack leaves the shot and the sound of a door opening is heard.

Marvin:

Hey! Jack, can you come in here for a second?

Sylvia turns around facing the entrance to the living room Marvin is in.

Jack:

(Quietly) Sylvie!

Sylvia quickly turns around.

Jack is seen waving his hand around, telling Sylvia not to enter the room.

Marvin:

Oh god...did I forget to take my medicine?

Sylvia:

(Quietly) Where's the camera?

Jack:

Hang on...alright I have it.

Jack enters the shot with Sylvia's camera, he hands it to her.

Sylvia:

Thanks, just give me a second...

Sylvia leaves the shot.

Jack:

What for?

Beat

Sylvia enters the shot again with a bag.

Sylvia:

Just bringing my bag with me. There's a flashlight, some soda and the camera.

Jack:

Okay, let's get going.

CUT: The hallway from earlier, Jack and Sylvia enter the shot through the door from the apartment and they leave with Richard and Marty.

CUT: The bridge from earlier at night, the four characters are seen walking over it.

Marty:

So Rich, where's this place exactly?

Richard:

It's near the factory.

Sylvia:

Hey Richard, do you know what that factory makes?

Richard:

Uh, no. A lot of smoke comes from it, so I expect it makes something important.

Marty:

Hey, you people watch the 13AM news?

Jack:

No? What was the news?

Marty:

Something about a kidnapper, they gave a description of the man, who knows, we may find him in this church.

Jack and Marty laugh.

Marty:

Wait, I think I see it.

CUT: A shot of a rundown church.

Marty:

God, I have the heebie jeebies now.

A car drives by the characters.

Richard stops walking and looks behind himself.

Jack:

Richard, what are you looking at?

Richard:

Did you notice that?

Jack:

What?

Richard:

That guy in the car...he was all bloodied...

Jack:

Richy, is there anything beyond that factory?

Richard:

I'm not sure, I haven't gone beyond it.

Sylvia:

You know i'm pretty sure there's people at that church...

Marty:

At 10 o' clock at night?

Sylvia:

Who knows! We may be putting ourselves into a pretty bad situation...

Richard:

Jack you better remember, if anything, and I mean anything, happens to us, you brought this to yourself.

Jack:

Yeah, yeah.

CUT: The exterior of the rundown church, with a few broken windows on it.

Jack:

Well the windows are broken, so it's obviously abandoned.

Marty:

So we need to find an entrance...
