SCENE 1
(At the present times)
(a door opened)
(a young lady was the one who opened it)
(the place was big but looked like it had been deserted for a long time)
(the young lady looked like she was in her thirties. She was wearing dark clothes and had a long brown hair. She was wearing glasses and had innocent eyes.)
(the young lady kept checking the place with her sad eyes)
(she looked down then she stepped into the house)
SCENE 2
(Inside the house)
(the young lady kept walking around and checking the place)
(the place was huge with high walls. It had painted glass for windows. The place would have been cheerful if it wasn't for the dust and the dry tree leaves)
(the girl kept turning around until she stopped in front of a door that had a tag on it)
(she came closer)
(the tag read, "Reed 's office")
(she looked at the door knob then the key lock)
A male: this is where he used to spend most of his time...
(the young lady turned to the sound)
(it belonged to an elder male with bold head and grey sideburns)
(he was looking at the door still)
Man: doing his things..
(then he looked at her)
(she looked at him with sadness, then she walked away)
SCENE 3
(the young lady headed to a terrace and stood for a while)
(it overlooked an indoor dry garden with dead trees that stood in a form of a circle of four)
(Each dead tree had a weird symbol that almost looked hidden)
(she looked at it then she looked down)
Lady: I remember playing here when I was a kid...
(the elder male came behind her)
(she raised her head looking to the walls)
(she saw a drawing)
Lady (smiled): looking at each wall is like watching a movie from my childhood..
(her smile disappeared)
(she turned to the elder man)
Lady (softly yet disappointed): what went wrong, Ray?
(Ray took steps closer to her)
Ray: your father chose isolation, Miss Reed
(she looked down)
Ray: he chose the past over his future....
(she nodded)
Lady: and yet here we are...
(she looked all around her)
Lady: in a place that suppose to be his legacy...
(he paused)
Ray: you never know what true legacy is within the walls of this place...
(she looked at him)
(he came closer and gave her a small box)
(she stood straight)
(she slowly reached the box and took it)
(she looked at Ray)
Ray: that was his box
(she smirked)
Lady: thank you, Ray...
(she took it and walked away)
SCENE 4
(at night - in her own room)
(it was raining outside)
(in her room)
(the young lady was going through the box)
(it was full of photos)
(she was looking at it with smiles)
(her mobile rang)
(she looked at it)
(The ringer was: a girl named Max and the background picture was the young lady and Max together. They looked like close friends)
(she picked up)
Max (on the phone): hey Edna..
(the girl's name was Edna)
(she was still checking the photos)
Edna (tired) : hey Max
Max (on the phone): I thought you were sleeping..
Edna (deep breath): I'm not really sleepy
Max (on the phone): how ya doing, sweetheart?
Edna: fine...
(she left the box and looked at the ceiling)
(the box was in the middle of the bed)
Edna (deep voice): coping...
Max (on the phone): wish I were there to give you a big hug
(Edna stood up and headed to the window)
(it was raining heavily)
Edna: I think you would have liked the old house...
Max (on the phone): is it big?
Edna: I promise you it is...
Max (on the phone): I'm excited to come and see it...
(Edna smiled)
Edna: why don't you come over tomorrow?
Max (on the phone): sounds good...
(while Edna was talking, the box fell)
(Edna turned to it quickly)
Max (on the phone): so have you found anything interesting?
(Edna kept staring at it)
(the box was turned upside down)
(she took steps towards it)
(she went down to pick it up)
(she found a key hidden in the box)
(the key looked very old)
(Edna picked it up and stared at it)
Max (on the phone): Eena?
Edna: yes, yes... Sorry
Max (on the phone): are you alright ?
Edna: yes.. I'm fine...
(she looked at the key)
Edna: Max.. I'll call you back later...
(she hang up and looked back at the key)
(she left the room)
(a strong bolt of lighting stroke the sky and a shadow appeared on one of the walls of the room)
