Worker 2: The things we go through each day with all these nutcases everywhere. What a way to make a living (sarcastic)

_Man in cell quietly moves back in fourth, like something is bothering this strange man._

Worker 2: Just look at him, swaying back and fourth. Sometimes I wonder about some of the maniacs living in society today.

Worker 1: Tell me about it, they should all be locked up before any other madman does anything crazy like you see in those horror movies.

_Worker 2 quietly leaves at the sound of the bell sounding for lunch._

Worker 2: Ill let you handle this nut bag.

_Worker 1 walks over to the man in the cell_

Worker 1: Hey, didn't you hear the bell? Its time to leave for your lunch. Hey, I am talking to you dip-STICK*!

While man gets up to struggle, man repeatedly kicks him in the face outside of the sell and stabs him with a near by knife laying on the workers desk. Man quietly walks out of the Institution walking slightly fast with long footsteps.

SCENE 2

_Focus in on local boy Eric skateboarding home from a mall._

Eric (talking to himself): Maryland isn't really too bad. We have all kinds of places to go to, but with all the job opportunities around, how could I not get a new job? I really need this!

_Now is Dark and Eric sees a shadow in the bushes near the woods. Stops, but then leaves not paying any attention. Eric Quickly turns and skateboards home. When inside, mother is watching the news about an escaped mental patient.

Eric: Hey Mom.

Mother: Hey how was the mall?

Eric: It was ok, not too many people though, all the job applications were filled.

Mother: Not to worry, I think I have just the perfect job for you. Do you remember the Williams family?

Eric (annoyed): You didn’t...

Mother: I did, I got you a job over that the shoe store over nearby the mall and the Institution. I think it will be a great job for you.

Eric: Aw, come on mom, I am 16 and I SHOULD NOT be working in a shoe store. You know all my friends are going to bust on me for this...

Mother: Don’t worry about it! Its just a small old shoe store! What could go wrong.

SCENE 3 _Eric hurry’s over to a friend Kate’s house to hang out_

Eric: Hey how’s it going Kate?

Kate: Oh Awesome! Just go up to my room and wait up there. I have to talk to you about a few things (smiles).

_Eric heads up to Kate’s room and sits on the Bed, waits a moment before Kate comes up to her room.

Kate: I’m happy you stopped by. My family is going on a camping trip this weekend a said I could invite some friends along. Since I couldn’t get a hold of you earlier, I invited Stacy to come along, do you think you could make it?

Eric: Sounds Nice, Ill see if I can come. Where will we be staying?

Kate: By the old Barnes Mill and factory. Maybe like 5 to 10 minutes from there.

Eric: Sounds cool, I will check back with you on that, I will stop by tomorrow after work I guess. I got a new job at the William’s Shoe Store In Annapolis.

Kate (while laughing): You work there now? hahaha.

Eric: Oh ha ha very finny (sarcastic). I will talk to you after work tomorrow.

_Camera moves outside looking out at Kate’s window like a person is looking at it. Same Camera motion as Eric is leaving with hard breathing in the back round.

SCENE 4 Eric: Looks like I am on Brent Road now. Wont be long till I get home

_As Eric is riding home from Kate’s, he gets the feeling that someone is watching him. He stops for a moment and looks around._

Eric: Who’s there....Kate?...If this is one of your tricks...

_Eric Continues to ride down the dark road. In the back round, you can see a shadowy image._

Eric: Come on, this is getting annoying.

_The Sound of a metal object dropping is heard from the bushes near by. Eric slowly walks over to see what the noise was. He is alarmed to see a bloody knife laying down on the ground. He quickly runs home to tell his mother what he had seen. When he gets home, he tells his mother.

Eric: Uh, mom, when I was coming back from Kate’s...

_Eric’s Mom interrupts_

Mother: Shhh!

_His mother points to the TV._

Newscaster:...A stabbing has occurred in Arnold, where just today, a Mental Patient escaped from Blooming Pines mental institution.

_Eric stands in fear after hearing the news and kept what he saw to himself. The Camera looks through the window where Eric and his mother are watching the television.

SCENE 5

_The Next Morning. Eric woke up screaming after a dream he had about a man with a knife. His mother rushes in._

Mother: Are you ok Eric??

Eric: Yeah mom, just a dream.

Mother: Good, now get dressed and come down for breakfast.

_Eric gets dressed and walks down the stairs. He sits down across from his mother and they begin to talk._

Eric: Mom, last night Kate asked me if I wanted to go on a camping trip with her this weekend. Do you think it would be alright?

Mother: I don’t see why not. Where is this anyway?

Eric: Blooming Pines Woods.

Mother: Well, I don’t think I want you going out there near the Institution. You remember the news don’t you?

Eric: Of course, how could I forget? I mean, he will probably be caught by then you know? I mean, were the Staunton’s! Even if he doesn’t get caught by then you know we Staunton’s are powerful!

Mother: No, I will not let you go out there with that Maniac on the loose! Just think of all those corny Slasher movies! Do you want to turn up like one of those corpses? I didn’t think so. Your staying home.

_Arguing_

Eric: Well you know dad would of let me go!

Mother(seems nervous about the subject): You know he left us, he is long gone now. You are staying Home and that is final!

Eric: Whatever (walks out of the room)

Mother: Get back here!
