Poem
Step Outline- Hiking Trail (A Horror) Prologue Ext. Woodland Park, Upstate California- Sunset It’s mid-autumn, hot. A week before school starts, there’s a family gathering. A young woman is arguing with her father. She’s holding onto her food. Then, she grabs her purse and storms off. Her father calls after her, but she’s heading into the mouth of the woods. ACT I Ext. The mouth of the woods- Dusk She walks along the hiking trail, grumbling about her father. She takes a bite of her hotlink and complains about leaving her beer behind. She isn’t alone. Int. Feelings She wants to have one family outing where she doesn’t fight with her dad. It’s the same repeating argument, just a different scene. He always eats away at her good time. Why can’t Dad let me be? Ext. Right at the throat of the woods- Dusk She shouts to the listening woods she doesn’t want to return to her father. And the beast that’s stalking her listens. ACT II Ext. Swallowed by the woods- Dusk The beast watches the woman slide down the woodland path. She’s speaking to herself aloud. Int. Thoughts Are her troubles so loud that they have to escape her body? If the beast sinks its teeth into her throat, will her words of anguish spill out with her blood? And then she shouts she doesn’t want to return to her father. If she doesn’t have any plans to leave the woods, he should have his fill. ACT III Int. Inside the belly- Dark There are blistering bubbles below her. She lost a shoe and three toes. The walls flex and relax against her crawling hands. She didn’t know someone was tailing her and listening. She was so consumed with her fight with her father that she got devoured by another man.
