Ben's Scenario
WHITE SCREEN
My Name is Ben. I don't belong here. It was thirty years ago they all died... I was spared... But then why did I feel an urge to come back to this place? I want to understand... Please, make me understand... Is there something wrong with me?
ORPHANAGE HALLWAY
Voice: You left it in the bottom drawer. Don't you remember, Ben?
Ben: What? Is someone there?
KITCHEN
(Received candle).
Ben: Weird shape this candle has... There seems to be something stuck inside...
Clock
Ben: There! Strange though... I don't remember a clock standing here and little less a passage through it.
Voice: Stop living Ben.
Ben: What? That voice again... It's only in my head!
Voice: Why don't you go weeping in the shower room like you did that night?
Ben: But...? What...? Who...?
Voice: You look pale Ben.
BATHROOM
Voice: Help!
Ben: What? Who is it!?
Voice: H... Hey! Is someone there!?
Ben: Yes. I'm Ben! Who are you?!
Voice: My name is Karen! I've been shouting for hours! I'm locked up in some sort of strange storage room!
Ben: Oh I get it! So we can talk through the ventilation system?!
Karen: Yeah, I guess! Why are you here?!
Ben: I used to live here 30 years ago! I don't know why I have returned to the orphana... Wait! Did you say your name was Karen?!
Karen: Yes?!
Ben: I think I remember you! You were that quiet girl! You got away that night, when everyone was killed?!
Karen: Who got killed?!
Ben: What?! 30 years ago in this orphanage, all of the children except three were killed in their beds!
Karen: Really?! I... I can't remember...
Ben: Listen! I'll try and get to you! Hold on!
Karen: Please Hurry Ben! It's so dark in here!
TOILET
Ben: I don't need to right now. But Wait! There's something inside the toilet...
(Received tongs).
This might help me pick up dirty or hot objects in this hellish place.
KITCHEN
(Opens oven).
Ben: Uh... There!
(Uses lighter).
Ben: There... It caught fire.
(Puts candle in pot).
Ben: Let's see if I can make this dinner any worse...
(Closes oven).
Ben: Uh... There!
(Uses tongs in the pot).
Ben: It's a small key...
BATHROOM
(Uses key on padlocked stall).
Ben: It fits!
(Examines red mark in stall).
Voice: You don't belong here Ben... You should be dead...
Ben: That voice again... In my head... Or... No... I can't... stand... straight...
WHITE SCREEN
My name is Ben. I have a secret. I don't belong here. Where am I? I'm in the orphanage. I'm not alone anymore... Save me...
BATHROOM
Ben: Whoa, what just happened, and where am I? This looks like the wash room I just entered. It seems as if the red sign can be used as a portal.
LOBBY
(Puts crank in hole).
Ben: It fits!
(Uses crank).
Ben: It's moving...
OFFICE
Ben: This looks important... A riddle maybe... I better write this down.
NOTEPAD
This is a story about a toboggan run
We're going down the hill, oh so much fun
Always twisting to the left
Always twisting to the right
A long way to go before we are done
Six times we turn, still we are going
Two times we twist, never are we slowing
We must go even faster I insist
Oh my, what fun we are having
The thrill from speed, it feels like we're glowing
Faster each minute by speed we're possessed.
Quickly One turn that we almost missed
But what is this, I'm filled with fear
Memories of evil acts I once committed
Never to a single soul my crimes had I confessed
The thrill is gone and now I can see
The end is coming for both you and me
Once more Two times we twist, maybe we can be saved
Still one more twist, no it's too late
In the end we must pay and death is the fee.
NURSE LETTER
Ben: It says: 'Hello there nurse Elisa. You have a young boy named Ben at your orphanage. Ben has been examined at the hospital a couple of weeks before as you know and we are sorry to say that he has been diagnosed with a serious form of cancer. Please give this information to him gently as he is a very sweet little boy. If there is anyone he wishes to talk to please bring him here. -Dr. Graham Nolan'
Voice: See you in the shower room Ben...
BASEMENT
Ben: Karen! Karen! Are you down here?!
Karen: Ben...? I can hear your voice loud and clear. I'm right through this door.
Ben: Hmm... It sounds like your voice is coming from the door to the right.
Karen: Please hurry Ben...
WHITE SCREEN
I don't...feel so good... I must sit down... I remember now... 30 years ago I went down here... ...and cried... I can't feel my arms. I'm going to sleep... My name is Ben... |
