BOX LOST (based on true events)
It's night, around 12am. Jess and Becca are upstairs at the Box. Things are quiet and still. Jess enters Becca's room and notices a black tank top with a built in bra hanging from Becca's door knob...
JESS: Where did you get that tank top?
BECCA: I found it on the floor of your room. I just wanted to try it on... why... can I borrow it? (senses something is wrong)
JESS: (tense and wide-eyed) That's not mine.
BECCA: What?
JESS: It appeared in my room yesterday! I don't know how it got there.
BECCA: It's not Tama's... or Nomi's?
JESS: NO! Just listen to me! I think it's... theirs (with fear and awe).
BECCA: You mean...
BECCA and JESS: The OTHERS!
(There's a rumbling and creaking from Becca's closet, the attic door opens, a ladder drops, and loud clomping steps descend. The lights go out. Jess and Becca cling together. A torch lights up to reveal a large man who looks like a scary santa.)
S. SANTA: Hello Becca, hello Jess.
BECCA: (stepping forward) Why are you here? What do you want?
S. SANTA: Let me ask you something, you wouldn't go into another man's closet and put on another man's tank top would you?
JESS: That tank top just showed up... I ... I didn't know!
S. SANTA: Let me assure you, the only reason you both tried on that tank top, is because we ALLOWED you to try on that tank top.
BECCA: (Frantic) What do you want from us!?!
S. SANTA: See this here? This is a line between you and my tank top. As long as you don't cross this line, we don't have a problem. However if you do choose to cross this line... well we'll have something different.
(The torch goes out, in a split second the lights come back on. Jess and Becca are left alone. Screen goes completely to black, white letters that say "BOX" fade in. Dramatic end credits begin).
