Speak don't tell

A small, quiet town. The story unfolds over several days and nights, primarily in isolated, eerie locations such as a dimly lit alley, a shadowy park, and an abandoned house. The atmosphere is tense, with a feeling of something lurking.

Scene 1: The Alleyway

(Night. The camera moves slowly down a narrow, dimly lit alley. The only sounds are distant footsteps and the rustling of paper in the wind. The alley is filled with shadows, and the atmosphere is suspenseful.)

Narrator 
(calm)

It begins with the murmur of the wind, the sound of footsteps barely heard over the almost haunting sounds of the night. This is where it starts, where life meets death in the shadows that most dare not enter.

(The camera focuses on a man, Victim 1, walking down the alley. He glances around nervously, feeling the presence of something unknown.)

Narrator
(Amused)

Our friend here, he feels it. That chilling sensation up his spine, the tickle of fear.  He’s right to be afraid, you know. Who knows what may happen in the dark.

(A shadowy figure, the Killer, steps out from behind a corner. The man doesn’t see him until it’s too late. The attack is swift, brutal. The man’s body crumples to the ground, lifeless.)

Narrator
(Almost satisfied)

And there it is. Quick, efficient. A tale as old as time, one might say. The night claims its victim, and the alley returns to silence.

(The camera lingers on the lifeless body before slowly pulling away, the alley consuming the scene in darkness.)
