I co-wrote a script a few days ago and I wanted to try my hand at another scene. When I started this, I didn't really know where I was going but I hope it turned out okay. Anyways, just a warning, it's very short (only one scene).
Scene 1
Narrator (voiceover): Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily Rose Goodwin and she was a Wanderer.
*A girl in a hooded black peacoat and knee-high leather boots trudges through a murky forest*
Lily (in a singsong voice): It was many and many a year ago, in a kingdom by the sea, that a maiden there lived whom you may know, by the name of Annabel Lee; and this maiden she lived with no other thought, than to love be loved by me . . . *foreshadows with suspenseful music*
Alfred "Alfie": BOO!
(Lily is not startled)
Lily: You don't scare me, little Roamer
*Alfie scowls*
Alfie: I'm no Roamer. Nor am I a Wanderer.
Lily: Oh really . . .
*Dreamily hums the tune of a lullaby*
*Alfie stands tall*
Alfie: I do not belong to any group! Not Wanderer, not Roamer.
*Lily nods slightly and continues walking on*
*Alfie chases after her*
Alfie: Don't you wanna know what I am? Who I have allegiance to?
Lily: No. I shall carry on wandering- no matter the burdens you should heap on me.
*Alfie sneers*
Alfie: You Wanderers. Even worse than Roamers- at least they can talk normally.
Lily: I was a child and she was a child, in this kingdom by the sea, but we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee- with a love that the winged seraphs . . .
Alfie: Are all Wanderers so hopelessly in love with Annabel Lee?
Lily: No . . . though Poe was quite the inspirational muse.
*Alfie goes back to scowling*
Alfie: Is this it? Will you go on 'til old age, walking through this forest and whispering Annabel Lee?
Lily: No.
Alfie: Then what are you doing, at the end of this path?
Lily: I'm walking.
Alfie (clearly frustrated): Then what, Wanderer? What are you walking to?
Lily: To the sad. To the ones who've lost all hope.
Alfie (snarling): And what are you going to do then? Laugh?
*Lily smiles dreamily*
Lily: No, little boy. I will not laugh at them, though perhaps I will smile. No, I will do the thing I was born to do.
Alfie: Talk in long sentences without ever really getting to the point?
Lily: I'll help.
^End of scene 1^
Annabel Lee is by Edgar Allan Poe and after reading Lady Midnight, I was also in an Annabel Lee mood :)
