My name's Thomas. I am writing my first movie. I post everything as I go and collect it all HERE.
Douglas and Abby were madly in love. Douglas had just moved into her beautiful family home in the country, they were happy. Until one day she accused him of mutilating and violating her dolls and writing psychotic messages all over the walls. Douglas is pretty sure he didn't do that. Abby seems absolutely sure that he did.
When it's finished I guess I'll try to send it out there, I actually have no idea how to do that but let's take it one thing at a time here. Here's today's page.

GRANT
What can you do? She thinks you're trying to kill her. Her dad put a gun to your head and told you to keep away and the police are watching you.
DOUGLAS
Still though.
GRANT
Go back to work. Give it some time.
DOUGLAS
Fuck work.
GRANT
Doug, step away from this for a bit.
DOUGLAS
Step away? She broke her face!
GRANT
That's MY point. She BROKE her own fucking face. This is a bad situation, back the hell away. I know you love this girl and I know your heart is broken and I know you're worried about her but you need to leave that girl alone. She's psycho. She's legit psycho. Stay away from that girl.
DOUGLAS
It's easy to say that..
GRANT
Stay away from that girl!
DOUGLAS
I can't.
GRANT
Stay the FUCK away from that girl.
DOUGLAS
Step away? She broke her face!
GRANT
That's MY point. She BROKE her own fucking face. This is a bad situation, back the hell away. I know you love this girl and I know your heart is broken and I know you're worried about her but you need to leave that girl alone. She's psycho. She's legit psycho. Stay away from that girl.
DOUGLAS
It's easy to say that..
GRANT
Stay away from that girl!
DOUGLAS
I can't.
GRANT
Stay the FUCK away from that girl.
Douglas doesn't respond.
GRANT
Don't FUCK your life up. Stay away from that girl!
INT - A COFFEE SHOP
Douglas pick up his order at a coffee shop and sits by the window. He's wearing a pair of sunglasses and his beard has grown in a little. Its bright by the window, he puts on a cap. He sits looking out the window, eyes trained on the door of an office building across the street. He watches people coming in and out, smiling. It's striking to him how carefree they all seem, its something Douglas is envious of.
Then SHE comes out the door.
Douglas' face saddens. She still has a bruise over her eye, it's been touched up with makeup but it's noticeable. Her coworkers hug her meaningfully, as though they all know what's happening and are being extra supportive of her. A few of them walk her to her car, they're keeping an eye out for anyone suspicious. For the first time it occurs to Douglas that there are people out there who think that he's a predator. A complete psycho who attacks helpless women. He pulls his hat down lower on his face and breaks his stare with the window. He tries to look casual, he takes a sip of coffee. Outside the window Abby hugs her coworkers goodbye. She takes one last look around before getting into her car and driving away. Douglas watches her pull away.
