That selected script is The Ledger by Rene Claveau.

Hey Gang!

Last week we had a one week challenge. The challenge was to write a short script in one week.

The theme was – Odd but interesting character(s) take refuge from a hurricane in a beat-up motel and are forced to make a choice between good or evil in order to survive the night.

Each character must have some history involving a supernatural event in their lives that factors into their choice. Genre is open. This is a micro-budget short, so no destruction of the motel, no children or animals and minimal special effects.
