Disappearing Act | A Script

Follow the White Rabbit

DAY I

Kicking the pebbles littering the empty street, Oli Valle drags his feet through the streets of Plain Springs, his head down. It's a fairly cloudy day, and the threat of a thunderstorm is imminent. He sobs quietly, muffling the noise with his scarf. He turns the corner and passes the crosswalk. Before he can continue forward, he spots a figure in the fog. A few blocks down, standing taut, the figure appears to be a man bearing a suitcase, wearing a black suit with a red tie. He wears a pair of black leather gloves, and most strange of all, is wearing a white mask in the likeness of a rabbit, with piercing red eyes and sharp ears. At first, Oli gives no attention to the strange man and continued on his journey. But the further he goes, the more his mind tells him to look back.

Finally, he gives in. He looks behind him to where he had seen the rabbit faced man. He is nowhere to be seen. 

Oli shrugs it off, but doesn't continue on his way. Instead he retraces his steps, heading for his house.

Though he doesn't care for what he had saw, something else is telling him he should've listened to his mind, which is constantly repeating: Follow the white rabbit.
