Dream of Birds
Wakes up. Surrounded by no one. Cars are empty. Houses are empty. Bird(bat) poop plopped in the street. Don't know what's going on. Walk around. 2:10
Find food. Store it. 3:15
Walk around some more. 3:46
Look at a house. Curtains close fast. Someone's there. Go to the house. Knock on the
door. No answer. Hello? 4:52
Leave,a voice says. But I have nowhere to go. I don't care. Leave.
Can you please let me in. 4:56
No!
But ma'am I don't know what's going on. Can you tell me?
Get out of here!4:58
Looks down. Looks up. Ma'am please.
Little girl I'm not gonna tell you one more time.Cocks rifle.
Sighs.Turns around. 4:59
transitions 5:00
Hears birds(bats) screech...
