It fades to black. As it becomes slightly brighter, three small, dirty circus tents can be seen surrounded by dark fog.
There are string lights and two large glowing arrows that are flickering on and off.
They are pointed at the center tent.
A hooded figure wearing gladiator boots is walking towards the tent.
There is very faint circus music and the sound of crickets.
The music gets louder as the figure gets closer to the tents.
Cut to inside the tent.
The room is blurry, but the same dirty striped pattern is inside the tents, and the room is lit by old lights that are flickering and buzzing.
Rachel Roth walks into the room cautiously, as the shot pans down to show her face.
She appears to be young and very pale.
Cut to her walking further into the tent.
She is running her hands along the narrow walls.
An elephant can be heard trumpeting, and then another animal roaring as Rachel reaches an opening at the end of the tents.
The music begins to climax as Rachel continues down the passage.
As she swiftly opens the final curtains the music abruptly stops.
She looks around at an empty room.
There are leaves swirling to the ground.
Cut to Rachel's face.
RACHEL:Hello?
Cut to the room.
As the shot pans around, a circus ring can be seen on the ground.
There is debris everywhere.
RACHEL: Hello?
Lights flash on as large, black birds fly away, cawing.
Cut to a large lit sign that reads, "THE FLYING GRAYSONS."
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen!
The room is now lit up around Rachel.
ANNOUNCER: Boys and girls!
Cut to the sign again, however this time the whole room can be seen around it.
An animation of someone doing gymnastics scrolls across the sign along with the words.
Cheering is heard.
ANNOUNCER: The Flying Graysons!
There is applause and cheering.
Cut to the girl's face, which appears distorted with confusion.
Cut to the whole room.
Moving lights are flashing gobos around the room.
Cut to a man.
He is wearing a leotard with a cape.
He is sitting on a swing looking around the room as if he is riling up an audience.
Cut to a woman and a boy.
They are on platforms looking around the room, holding their arms out as if to present themselves.
They too are wearing leotards with capes.
A somber violin song begins.
Rachel can be seen, still confused.
Cut to the Woman and boy.
The woman holds a wooden bar and gracefully jumps off the platform.
She swings as we cut to see the girl watching the performance.
The man grabs the woman's feet as she lets go of the bar, which swings to the boy.
Cut to Rachel, who is now watching the boy.
Cut to the boy, who follows what the woman did.
The shot pans around as they continue the routine.
Cut to Rachel, who is now content.
The music turns ominous as the routine continues.
Cut to the glowing sign.
The word "FLYING" flickers out.
Cut to the boy.
He is swinging in slow motion towards the other performers.
As they swing at him, one of the ropes holding their swing up snaps.
They fall, as the woman tries to grasp the boy's hand, who narrowly misses her.
Cut to the boy's face.
He is screaming as he reaches for them.
Cut to them plummeting.
Rachel screams as they fall toward her.
She sits up in bed.
She is still screaming.
As she stops screaming, she begins to pant.
Rachel's mom and brother hastily enter her bedroom.
MELISSA: Rachel!
RACHEL: The circus again! The boy...
Rachel hyperventilates as Melissa and Zion try to comfort her.
MELISSA: Take a breath, honey. Just calm down.
RACHEL: He watched as his parents fell. Oh, God. It was... It was so scary, I-I felt...
Zion: It was just a dream.
Melissa:Okay. Just... Just breathe like we practiced, okay?
They both breath deeply and consistently.
MELISSA: It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay. - Okay?
Rachel sniffles and nods.
MELISSA: Sweetie, you need to get a little more rest. Come on.
The woman helps Rachel to lie back down.
She tucks Rachel back into bed.
MELISSA: Everything is gonna be okay.
Melissa kisses Rachel on the forehead, and very quiet, somber music can be heard playing.
RACHEL: Mom?
MELISSA: Yeah?
RACHEL: Keep the door locked.
Zion and Rachel look at each other
They dap then grip eachothers hands
She smiles as Zion smiles back then leaves
Melissa closes the door.
Cut to outside Rachel's bedroom door.
It is covered in crucifixes, crosses, and depictions of Jesus and/or Mary.
We Zion walks into his room it's as well covered in crucifixes, crosses, and depictions of Jesus and/or Mary.
Melissa locks several locks before sighing and walking away.
The music gets louder as a large white crucifix falls off its nail on the door.
