CAPTION- 'February 14. Valentine's Day'

FADE IN: 

INT. ROSELLA RESTAURANT- NIGHT 

The restaurant is packed up with customers, celebrating the holiday—
Valentine's day. Close-up of James Riley, a 24 year old man. He is 
sitting all alone at a table. He is flipping through a newspaper and is 
sipping from a cup of coffee at the same time. He takes a glance at his 
watch and stands up, deciding to leave. And he walks over to the 
waitress, a young blonde, with a shy, baby face. 

JAMES 

How much?

The waitress smiles for a quick second and hands James his check. A 
frown appears on his face after looking at the amount of eighty-nine 
dollars. He reaches into his right pocket...

JAMES 

Oh! Shit! I forgot my damn wallet at home! 

James bites his lips in frustrations before he places his hands in his 
left pocket and finds his checkbook. A sigh of relief escapes his lips. 
He writes a check and walks out of the door. 

EXT. ROSELLA RESTAURANT'S PARKING LOT- NIGHT 

James takes his keys out and as he opens the car door, he feels a soft, 
tingling pat on his shoulder. He gasps and turns his back. A woman with 
black hair and bright blue eyes is standing with an innocent stare. She 
has eight pierces, and a stud in her nose. 

JAMES 

What do ya want?

CLOSE-UP of the WOMAN 

WOMAN 

Spare any change?

Heavy breathing is heard. 

FADE IN: 

INT. CHURCH- SAME NIGHT 

Religious music is played. It is dark, but there are candles 
everywhere. Close-up of a boy, who is frightened and is sweating. Tears 
fill his eyes. He is breathing heavily. Heavier. Heavier. And heavier. 

BOY 

NOOOOO!

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

Thank you!

VOICE OVER (MALE) 

Hey wait! Do—do you want more than what you got? Do you?

Sure. But, what do I have to do?

VOICE OVER (MALE) 

Get in the car. And, we can talk as we get home.

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

I know what you want!

VOICE OVER (MALE) 

I know you do, but hey, it's Valentine's Day!

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

Yes, it is!

VOICE OVER (MALE) 

By the way, what's your name?

There's a moment of silence. The woman takes a deep breath. 

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

Sarah. My name is Sarah.

VOICE OVER (MALE) 

Sarah. Now, that's a beautiful name. 

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

What is your name?

VOICE OVER (MALE) 

It's James. 

FADE IN: 

INT. JAMES' APARTMENT- BEDROOM- SAME NIGHT 

James and Sarah are kissing, as they are standing. James pushes Sarah 
to the bed. He rips open her shirt. And then her bra. Sarah gets on her 
knees on the bed and smiles as she slowly unbuttons James' pants. She 
unzips his pants. James digs his hand in Sarah's underwear and removes 
it off her creamy, white skin. Sarah pushes James to the bed and gets 
on top of him. Pleasurable moans escape Sarah's lips. 

Close-up of the watch on the night table. TICK-TOCK…TICK-TOCK. The 
clock strikes ten. Close-up of the couple, as they are lying on the 
bed, with a blanket covering their naked bodies. 

JAMES 

How much do you want for spending the night with me? 

SARAH 

I don't want any money. Just sleeping with you is all I wanted. 

JAMES 

It was fun, eh?

A smile appears on James. 

SARAH 

Yes, it was!

Close-up of Sarah, as she grins.

I'm scared!

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

What's wrong? What are you afraid of?

I—I SAW HER!

FADE OUT: 

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

I want to take a shower, James. Do you mind?

VOICE OVER (MALE) 

No, not at all, babe.

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

Thanks!


INT. JAMES' APARTMENT- BATHROOM- SAME NIGHT 

Sarah, naked, opens the curtains of the bathtub and turns on the hot 
water. She waits until tub is filled with hot, blistering water. She 
places her little finger in there and feels the hotness. She slowly 
steps in and moans softly.

A figure enters the bathroom. It slowly approaches Sarah. The figure 
opens the bath curtain. Sarah lets out a high-pitched scream. 

SARAH 

Err…you SCARED the shit outta me! 

JAMES 

Can I join you?

Sarah smiles and nods her head. James steps out of his boxer and climbs 
into the tub. 

JAMES 

The water! It's too hot!

SARAH 

I know. But, I don't like cold water. I only like the water hot. 
Burning hot.

James kisses Sarah's lips passionately. 

JAMES 

You're gorgeous, babe!

Sarah places her hands on James' back, and hugs him tightly. 

SARAH 

I love you!

JAMES 

I love you, too!

James glances at Sarah and lets out a high-pitched gasp! 

JAMES 

What…the…fuck? Sarah, your—your body is melting.

Sarah grins and whispers softly, 

SARAH 

I know. And so will yours.

James closes his eyes and says to himself: I'm imagining. I'm just 
imagining. This is my hallucination. It's not real. It's not real. He 
opens his eyes and shrieks at the top of his lungs as he watches his 
own body melt into pure liquid. Close-up of the tub. Empty. 

FADE OUT: 

VOICE OVER (BOY) 

I saw her, Father!

VOICE OVER (MAN) 

Who did you see, son? Who?

The boy is breathing heavily. 

VOICE OVER (BOY) 

Father?

VOICE OVER (MAN) 

Yes, son.

VOICE OVER (BOY) 

Do you believe in ghosts?

FADE IN: 

SETTING- A DARK, ISOLATED PLACE. EMPTY. 

Close-up of James' eyes as they are slowly opened. He stands up and 
glances around. Beside him, Sarah is standing. On her face, a grin 
appears. 

JAMES 

Where are we? 

SARAH 

From now on, you are going to be MINE! Just MINE! And I'm going to be 
YOURS. Just YOURS!
JAMES 

Where are we?

Close-up of Sarah, grinning evilly. 

SARAH 

James, welcome to the Dead World!

FADE OUT: 

FADE IN: 

INT. THE RILEY'S HOUSE-LIVING ROOM- MIDNIGHT 

Placing the receiver close to his ears, Mr. Riley dials James' phone 
number for the sixth time. He waits for his son to answer the phone, 
but there's no reply. Sitting beside Mr. Riley, Mrs. Riley is worried. 

MRS.RILEY

I'm really worried, John!

MR.RILEY

I'm as WORRIED as you are, Sandy!

MRS.RILEY

Call the police!

It doesn't take long until the police arrive at the Riley's house. The 
Rileys and the police officers are in the living room. 

MR.RILEY

Where is my son, officer?

POLICE OFFICER 

Did he tell you that he was going out somewhere? 

MR.RILEY

No. He didn't. I know my son too well, officer. He would tell his 
mother or I if he was leaving town or something?

A cell phone of one of the officers rings. He answers it quickly. The 
officer hangs up after he finishes talking. 

POLICE OFFICER 

They looked everywhere, but unfortunately, they couldn't get a trace of 
him. We are so sorry. I think he left town and forgot to tell you both.

Mrs. Riley gasps. Tears fill her eyes and roll down her cheeks. 

POLICE OFFICER 

James is an adult, Mrs. Riley. Don't worry; hopefully, we will get a 
trace of him.

Mr. Riley and the police officers make their way downstairs. 

MR. RILEY

Please find my son, officers.

POLICE OFFICER 

We will try our best sir.

After the police officers leave, Mr. Riley shuts the door. 

MR. RILEY 

Where are you, son? Where are you?

FADE OUT:

FADE IN 

SETTING- A DARK, ISOLATED PLACE. EMPTY. 

Close-up of James. Tears fill his eyes as he whispers, 

JAMES 

I wish I could see my parents again. 

Sarah, naked, slowly walks up to James and gives him a kiss. James push 
her away. 

SARAH 

What the hell is wrong with you? 

James stare at Sarah with angry eyes. 


JAMES 

You bring me to your world, and you ask me what's wrong with me! You 
bitch, you have to take me back. You just have to. 

Sarah giggles, making James angrier. 

SARAH 

You just don't understand…

JAMES 

Understand WHAT?

SARAH 

Honey, you're already dead just like me. If you go back, you will be 
someone else, not James.

JAMES 

I don't understand. What do you mean? 

Sarah takes a deep breath…

SARAH 

This is your world now, James. If you want to go back to the living 
world, you can, but your parents and your friends won't recognize you 
because your spirit will be in another body. So, you and I will live in 
this world until Judgment Day arrives.

James is shocked. His eyes are filled with anger. 

SARAH 

You're not like the other men that I brought into this world. They were 
glad that I opened the doors to a better place than Earth. Most of them 
were loners. They pretty much didn't have a life. I made their lives 
better. Much better. But, I let them go and went back to Earth to find 
another man. I started searching, and then I found YOU. I know you're 
wondering right now why I chose you. Well, I chose you because you're 
handsome and you're a loner.

James is listening silently to Sarah's explanation. 


SARAH 

Yes, you are a loner, James. You only had two or three friends. That 
was all. I just don't understand why such a cute man like you didn't 
have luck with Earthly girls? Why didn't you have a girlfriend?

James takes a deep breath. 

JAMES 

I don't know. I guess I didn't find the woman that deserved to marry 
me.

SARAH 

And you expect me to believe that bullshit?

JAMES 

How did you die?

SARAH 

Why are you trying to change the subject? 

JAMES 

How the hell did you DIE?

SARAH 

If that's the way you want it, then I'll play the game. I died in a car 
accident, James. 

Close-up of Sarah, with a sad expression on her face. 

FADE OUT: 

FADE IN: 

A flashback; Sarah is walking on the sidewalk. She stops and as she 
walks to the other side, a car, driving in a fast speed, crashes into 
Sarah. Close-up of the blood on the shattered car window. 

FADE OUT: 

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

People thought I was dead, but I wasn't. I was stuck between the world 
of life and death. 


FADE IN: 

SETTING- A DARK, ISOLATED PLACE. EMPTY. 

There is a moment of silence, and Sarah breaks the silence. 

SARAH 

Baby, I will be your girlfriend. I will be your wife, your mom, your 
dad, your everything.

JAMES 

No, Sarah, you're not my mom or my dad. My parents are alive on Earth, 
and I'm going to see them soon whether you like it or not. 

SARAH 

Oh! Is that so?

Sarah vanishes. 

JAMES 

WHERE DID YOU GO? SARAH? WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO?

INT. THE RILEYS Home-LIVING ROOM 

Mr. and Mrs. Riley are sitting on the couch, watching television, and 
hoping to get an answer from the police about James. The doorbell 
rings; Mr. Riley stands up and goes to answer the door. 

MR. RILEY 

Can I help you?

These are Mr. Riley's final words. He doesn't see the sharp weapon that 
stabbed him in the gut. Mrs. Riley walks toward the door. 

MRS. RILEY 

Who is it, dear?

When Mrs. Riley glances at her husband's bloody body, she screams at 
the top of her lings. A woman is standing beside her. She is wearing a 
hood on her head. Mrs. Riley runs away, but she falls on the floor. 


MRS. RILEY 

HELP! HELP! WOULD SOMEONE HELP ME? 

The woman places her hands on Mrs. Riley's esophagus and twists it. 

FADE OUT: 

FADE IN: 

SETTING- A DARK, ISOLATED PLACE. EMPTY. 


Sarah reappears again. 

SARAH 

Hi, baby.

JAMES 

Where the hell were you?

Sarah takes a deep breath…

SARAH 

You can't do anything now, James. Your parents are dead. You will never 
see them. But after Judgment Day, you might be with them. If you were 
good when you lived on Earth, then you might go to Heaven. If you were 
bad, then you might go to Hell.

Tears fill James' eyes and roll down his cheeks. An angry expression 
breaks upon his face. 

JAMES 

I know where YOU are going…HELL 'cause you're a cold-blooded killer.

SARAH 

I know that I'm going to go to Hell. But for now, I'm with you. So, 
let's enjoy our time before it runs out.

JAMES 

I hate you! I hate you, bitch!


SARAH 

Make love to me, James.

JAMES 

You don't deserve to be made love to.

Sarah kisses James' lips softly. And then she rips his shirt open. 

SARAH 

Now, do you want to do it? 

James wipe the tears off his eyes, nods his head, and kisses Sarah's 
rosy lips. Sarah kneels down and unzips James' pants. And then Sarah is 
on top of James. Pleasurable moans are heard. 

FADE OUT: 

FADE IN: 

INT. CHURCH- SAME NIGHT 

The frightened boy takes a deep breath and looks at the camera. 

BOY 

Father?

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

Yes?

The boy's breathing has gotten heavier and heavier. 

BOY 

I'm scared!

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

What's wrong? What are you afraid of?

BOY 

I—I SAW HER!

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

Who?

BOY 

My dead sister…Sarah! No. She isn't dead. I see her a lot. She talks to 
me, Father. She tells me things. Sometimes, scary things. I DON'T WANT 
TO SEE HER ANYMORE! I HATE HER! SHE SCARES ME. DON'T LET HER COME AND 
GET ME, FATHER. SHE WANTS ME DEAD. SHE'S MY NIGHTMARE...NOOOOOOO!

The boy screams at the top of his lungs. 

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

Calm down, son.

BOY 

NO! I WON'T CALM DOWN, FATHER. The other night, she wanted to kill me. 
She wanted me dead, father.

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

What are you talkin about?


All of a sudden, the boy finds himself in a mental asylum. A frightened 
expressions break upon his face. 

BOY 

WHERE AM I? GET ME OUT OF HERE. PLEASE! SHE'S GONNA GET ME...SARAH IS 
GOING TO KILL ME. NOOOO!

FADE OUT: 

A bloodcurdling scream is heard offscreen. 

FADE IN: 

INT. JAMES' APARTMENT- BEDROOM- MORNING 

Slowly opening his eyes, James yawns as he looks around. He sits up and 
gasps. 

JAMES 

Where am I?

Beside him, there lies a black-haired woman, who opens her eyes and 
smiles at James. 

JAMES 

SARAH?

SARAH 

Good morning, James!

JAMES 

Where are we?

Sarah laughs softly. 

SARAH 

We are home, husband!

JAMES 

What the hell? You're not my wife!

Sarah sits up and looks at James. 

SARAH 

Is something wrong, James? Are you okay?

James slaps Sarah. 

JAMES 

You're a psycho bitch… You first melt my body, and you take me to the 
dead world. Then you kill my mom and dad. 

Sarah gasps. 

SARAH 

James, I think you've gone crazy.

James slaps her again and then punches on her stomach. Sarah yells at 
the top of her lungs. 

SARAH 

I did not kill your parents, James. Your parents died in a car 
accident. And you know it. Maybe, you were dreaming that I killed them.

JAMES 

Don't lie to me, Sarah. Don't lie. I never married you. Why are you 
saying that we are married?

Sarah points at the wedding ring on her finger. James looks at his 
hand. There is a ring on one of his fingers. 

JAMES 

Damn you!


Tears fill Sarah's eyes. 

SARAH 

Calm down, baby.

JAMES (Shouts)

Don't tell me to calm down.

James punches Sarah powerfully on her stomach and on her face. He walks 
out of the bedroom, and heads to the kitchen. Grabbing a razor-sharp 
knife from one of the drawers, he walks back to the bedroom. Sarah is 
lying down on the bed. There are drops of blood on her face and shirt. 
James takes a deep breath, raises the knife and stabs Sarah to death. 

INT. NEIGHBOUR' APARTMENT- LIVINGROOM- MORNING 

Looking through the window, Sandra Wayne is shocked to see her neighbor 
hovering over a lifeless body, knife in hand. She grabs a cordless 
phone, dials 9-1-1 and waits for an answer. A male operator answers the 
phone…

MALE OPERATOR 

Police, fire, or emergency.

SANDRA

Police! My neighbor is stabbing someone. I think he is stabbing his 
wife, Sarah.

MALE OPERATOR 

What's the address, ma'am?

Close-up of Sandra, with a shocked expression on her face. 

FADE OUT:

FADE IN: 

INT. JAMES' APARTMENT- BEDROOM- SAME MORNING

James wipes the blood off the knife and throws the sharp object in the 
sink. He covers the body of Sarah with as many blankets as he could 
find. 

JAMES 

I hope you go to HELL, psycho bitch!

Soon, the police arrive at James' apartment. They break in the house. 

POLICE OFFICERS 

POLICE!

James tries to run away, but two police officers catch him. The body of 
Sarah is found in the bedroom. James is arrested. 

INT. PRISON CELL 

Sitting down on the bed in his private prison cell, James is blaming 
himself for committing the terrible crime. 

JAMES 

Why? Why did you kill your wife? Why did you take the life of the woman 
that you loved? She did not kill your parents. She was innocent. It was 
the horrible nightmare that made you think that Sarah was the one who 
melted you and took you to the dead world. Now, you can't change the 
past, James. But hopefully, she will forgive you.

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

I will never forgive you.

JAMES 

Who said that?

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

I did.

JAMES 

Who are you?

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

It's me…Sarah!

James gasps and looks around. But, he doesn't see anything. 


JAMES 

You're not Sarah. This is my imagination. I'm imagining things just 
like before.

Sarah appears in front of James. 

SARAH 

Are you really imagining, James?

James lets out a bloodcurdling scream. The prison guard hurriedly opens 
the lock and enters the cell. 

PRISON GUARD 

What's going on?

James gasps and takes a long, heavy breath. 

JAMES 

Nothing is going on. I was just having a bad dream. 

The guard nods and walks out. James lies down on the bed and shuts his 
eyes. 

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

James…James…darling…James.

James reopens his eyes and glances around. 

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

Are you recognizing my voice, love? It's me…Sarah.

JAMES 

BULLSHIT!

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

Do you love, James? Do you want me?


James gasps as he feels a soft pat on his shoulder. Turning his back 
quickly, he lets out a shriek when he catches the sight of Sarah. A 
grin appears on her face as she places her hands on James' head. He 
shuts his eyes and blacks out. 

FADE OUT: 

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

Don't worry, James. Don't worry.

INT. The cemetery- Night 

The sun vanishes, and the sky darkens. James is walking through the 
tombstones in the cemetery. He stops in front of a mysterious 
gravestone. The name 'Sarah' is inscribed in blood on it. 

VOICE (OFF-SCREEN) 

I'm going to forgive you, James, for savagely murdering me. Do you know 
why? It's because you're going to regret stabbing me to death.

JAMES 

What do you mean?

FADE OUT: 


INT. JAMES' APARTMENT- BEDROOM- NIGHT 


James opens his eyes and gasps. He is lying on the bed with a woman, 
whose hair color is ebony and eyes are blue. 

JAMES 

Who are you?

The woman smiles. 

SARAH 

What a silly question, James. Don't you know who I am? I'm Sarah.

James shakes his head. 

SARAH 

I want to take a shower, James. Do you mind?

JAMES 

NO!

INT. JAMES' APARTMENT- BATHROOM- SAME NIGHT 

Sarah, naked, opens the curtains of the bathtub and turns on the hot 
water. She waits until tub is filled with hot, blistering water. She 
places her little finger in there and feels the hotness. She slowly 
steps in and moans softly.

A figure enters the bathroom. It slowly approaches Sarah. The figure 
opens the bath curtain. Sarah lets out a high-pitched scream. 

SARAH 

Err…you SCARED the shit outta me! 

James is holding a sharp butcher knife in his hands. 

SARAH 

Why are you holding a knife, baby?

JAMES 

Why? Do you really want to know? I'll tell you. I want to stab you to 
death with it. I want to end my nightmare.

SARAH 

What nightmare? What's wrong with you?

JAMES 

You're my goddamn nightmare!

SARAH 

You're crazy, James. You're psycho!

JAMES 

Goodbye, Sarah!

Without a warning, James jams the knife into her chest. Blood rushes 
out, filling the bathtub. The door creaks open. James gasps and turns 
his back. Sarah opens her eyes wide and grabs his throat. 

FADE OUT: 

SETTING- A DARK, ISOLATED PLACE. EMPTY. 


James opens his eyes. He catches the sight of Sarah, standing in front 
of him, and a frightened expression breaks upon his face. 

JAMES 

It's you! I thought you were dead.

Sarah shakes her head. 

SARAH 

You're back, James, to the Dead world.

JAMES 

I can't believe it! Let me go. I beg you for my freedom.

SARAH 

Yes, James, I murdered your parents. They didn't die in a car accident. 
We never married. But, you must always know that I love you and always 
will. You're the first man that I fell in love with. Even though I 
brought many handsome men to this world, but you were the only one who 
I loved.

JAMES 

Why me of all men in the world?

SARAH 

Everything about you, James, is attractive. The first time you saw me, 
you thought I was attractive and you wanted to spend a one-night-stand 
with me. But, I wanted to be with you forever.


JAMES 

That's right, Sarah. I just wanted your love for one night, not 
forever.

SARAH 

So, do you love me, James?

JAMES 

I loved you, Sarah, but not anymore. I've had enough of your love. This 
is not love. This is torture. I want to return to my world.

Tears fill Sarah's eyes. 

SARAH 

I hate loneliness. I want your love, James. Why do you have such a 
cruel heart?

JAMES 

Find another man who you can call 'love', Sarah!

SARAH 

I don't want to let you go, James. I can't give up on you.

Sarah starts breathing heavily. 

SARAH 

Kiss me, James. Kiss me passionately.

As their lips lock into a kiss, tears stream down from Sarah's eyes. 

SARAH 

Let's make love, James!

James pushes her away. 


JAMES 

NO!

SARAH 

Goodbye, James! You will always be my first and last love.

James shuts his eyes as Sarah places her hands on his head. 

SARAH 

Goodbye!

FADE OUT: 

FADE IN: 

James open his eyes and finds himself back in the prison cell. In front 
of him, Sarah stands with a smile on her face. 

SARAH 

Remember me, always, James! 

Sarah walks away and vanishes through the wall. 

JAMES 

I'm innocent! Do you hear me? I'm innocent. I should be let out of this 
goddamn prison.

The prison guard opens the lock and enters the cell. 

PRISON GUARD 

What's going on?


JAMES 

I'm innocent!


The guard chuckles. 

PRISON GUARD 

And what do you want me to do? Let you out of the cell?


JAMES 

I'm innocent. I swear I am.

PRISON GUARD 

You murdered your wife, and you're being punished for the murder.

JAMES 

Sarah is not my wife. She never was. She is my worst nightmare.

The guard shakes his head and walks out. James lies down on the bed and 
shuts his eyes. 

FADE OUT: 

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

Judgment Day… Judgment Day… Judgment Day… If you were good when you 
lived on Earth, then you might go to Heaven. If you were bad, then you 
might go to Hell.


FADE IN: 

When James wakes up, his eyesight is blurry. The only thing that he 
sees is a sharp butcher knife. 

JAMES 
What's going on?

James rubs his eyes and lets out a high-pitched gasp. He stares in 
horror at the figure in front of him. 

JAMES 
NO!!!



James lets out a cry of pain as the knife is shoved into him. He 
struggles and then shuts his eyes. 

FADE OUT: 

VOICE OVER (FEMALE) 

I have returned for you, James. I realized that I have to spend the 
last few years with you before Judgement Day. Yes, James, Judgement Day 
is arriving soon. Who knows? Maybe, we'll meet in Hell! 

FADE IN: 
SETTING- A DARK, ISOLATED PLACE. EMPTY. 

Opening his eyes slowly, James glances around. Sarah walks up to him 
and grins. 

SARAH 

Hello, my James!

James blinks his eyes and sighs. 

JAMES 

When is Judgment Day going to arrive?

SARAH 

Soon, love, very soon. Sooner than you think.

JAMES 

Why did you bring me here again?

SARAH 

Tell me, James, would you rather spend the last days of your life in 
Jail or with me?

JAMES 

You didn't answer my question: Why did you bring me here again, Sarah?

SARAH 

I can't live without you, honey. I have to spend the final days of my 
life with you.

JAMES 

But, you're not real. You're just an imagination.

SARAH 

Are you sure, James? Am I really an imagination? So, tell me, who 
murdered your parents? Who, James?

JAMES 

You did, Sarah… But, to me, you're just a fantasy figure. You're 
nothing but a nightmare!


FADE OUT: 

FADE IN: 

INT. PRISON CELL 

The prison guard opens the lock and enters James' cell. His eyes widen 
in horror. 

PRISON GUARD 

Where did he go? I better report this!


FADE OUT: 

FADE IN: 

SETTING- A DARK, ISOLATED PLACE. EMPTY. 

SARAH 

Make love to me, James! Please! This might be the last time we'll ever 
make love to each other.

JAMES 

I don't want to, Sarah. I'm sick of you. Do you hear me? I can't stand 
you anymore. I wish you would disappear from my life.

SARAH 

We we're meant for each other, honey!


JAMES 

Bullshit!

SARAH 

You're stuck here with me, James. So, what would you rather do? Would 
you rather cry for freedom, which won't happen, or make love to me? 
What do you choose?

James takes a deep breath. 

JAMES 

Fine, Sarah! I'll grant your wish and make love to you.

Sarah smiles as she presses her lips tightly against James'. She 
unbuttons James' pants and removes it from his body. Sarah wraps her 
legs around James. Pleasurable moans are heard. 

After the lovemaking, Sarah and James are lying beside each other. 

JAMES 

You know, Sarah, I've been wondering what is the Judgment Day going to 
be like.

SARAH 

Like I said, on that day, the good people will go to Heaven, and the 
bad people will go to Hell.

JAMES 

I hope that I will be granted the ticket to Heaven.


SARAH 

Don't say that! I want us to be together even after Judgment Day.

JAMES 

You know where you're going to…HELL!

Tears fill Sarah's eyes. 

SARAH 

I can't believe it! Soon, we're going to be separated from each other. 
I wish I could be with you forever, James.

Sarah wipes the tears off her eyes. 

SARAH 

Do you love me, James?

JAMES 

What?

SARAH 

Do you love me?

JAMES 

When I met you the first time, I loved you, Sarah. Love at first sight! 
But, after experiencing the other side of you, my love for you 
vanished.

SARAH 
I'll always love you, no matter what. You'll always be my James!

There's a moment of silence. Sarah stares above her and sees the 
blistering flames of Hell. James stares above him and sees the place 
where God lives and the future home of His followers. He sees Heaven. 
They breathe heavily as they kept staring above them.
