WHERE THE RIVER RAN RED
SCENE #1: Earth 2: Now
AN R.V IS DRIVING THROUGH THE DESSERT IN THE DARK. A CHILD HAS HIS
HANDS PRESSED AGAINST THE GLASS, LOOKING INTO THE NIGHT SKY.
BOY:
Holy cow! Look at that, mom!
HIS EYES AND MOUTH WIDEN IN EXCITED ASTONISHMENT. HE CAN SEE A BALL
OF FIRE HURTLE THROUGH THE AIR.
BOY: (CON'T)
That's the brightest shooting star I've ever seen!
SCENE # 2:
A YOUNG COUPLE ARE LYING ON THE BONNET OF A CAR. THE MALE HAS HIS ARM
SUPPORTING THE FEMALE'S HEAD BEHIND HER AND SHE IS RESTING ON HIS
SHOULDER.
THERE FACES CHANGE TO EVEN MORE PLEASURE AT THE SIGHT OF THE
FIREBALL, MOVING TOWARDS THEM.
YOUNG FEMALE:
Oh, my god! Look! A shooting star! Quick make a...
THERE FACE'S TURN TO FEAR AND ALARM AS THE FIREBALL CONTINUES TO
HURTLE TOWARDS THEM AND THEY GRAB EACH OTHER IN TERROR.
YOUNG FEMALE: (CON'T)
...wish.
THERE IS A BIG EXPLOSION AS THE FIREBALL HITS THE CAR, KILLING THE
COUPLE. A TYRE IS SENT ROCKETING FROM THE WRECKAGE, BOUNCING AND
ROLLING AWAY. A CRATER HAS FORMED AND SUDDENLY A HAND ERUPTS FROM
THE SMOKE AND FLAMES, HAULING THE OWNER OUT. THE SMOKE CLEARS TO
REVEAL... GRUNDY.
HE MAKES SLOW MOVEMENTS TOWARDS A LONE CACTUS, THE ONLY SOURCE OF
LIFE AROUND IN THE DESSERT.
GRUNDY:
Life.
IT PUTS HIS HAND AROUND THE CACTUS, TURNING IT TO GREY DUST ALMOST
IMMEDIATELY, CRUMBLING AND TURNING INTO DUST IN HIS HAND.
GRUNDY: (CON'T)
Rot.
