INT. OLD CHURCH, RED CARPET, STATUe OF JESUS

Jack walks on in, the smell of old and dust fill the air, he walks down the rows looking into each pew.

Jack takes a sheet then starts to have flash backs of him on stage praying to the statue.

JACK

” So long it’s been.“

Jack pulls out the little black book and reads.

THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK

The darkness may surround me but the lights from my heart will shine and keep whatever darkness away.

JACK

“ Darkness huh? What darkness surrounds this place? “

Jack starts to read on, flipping page to page reading about the darkness that can consume the light what keeps us safe.

Couple hours go by jack passed out on the set of the pew, the book slips from his hand then slams on the floor below.

JACK

“ What? Wait? Huh? Who there? Anyone? “

Jack looks around and notice it was 6 o’clock just before the sun set and the last beam of light shine right though the broken stained glass window.

VOICE

“ Jack. “

Jack heard a whisper of his name. Jumps up.

JACK

“ Ok who is that?! Mr.chen don’t be a creeper. Come out! “

Jack looks back and forth scanning the room, slowly the sun fades and the light from the room was no more.

JACK

“ Well, this isn’t good. “

Jack picked up his bag, pulling out a flash light then headed to the back room where he slept as a teen.

INT. JACKS OLD ROOM

Jack walks in slowly opening. The door creeks open.

JACK

“ Well, looks like the old man didn’t change anything. “

JACK

“ This book seems to go on. “

He opens the book where in big letters, “ ALROY “

JACK

“ Alroy, who is ALROY? “

THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK

“ As I was running, I fell into the this dark hole. I’m laying there helpless and cold. The blood from my head slowly leaks out. Just before the lights from my body leaves, this white 6 foot rabbit appears.

JACK

“ 6 foot rabbit?!  The old man really had weird dreams! “

THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK

“ Hello, my name is Alroy. I wanted jumped back and crawl on my nees and start to pray. When I looked up he was gone. Was he a hallucination?  Or was he really here? “

He slams the book shut.

JACK

“ Now, what is there to eat? “

JACK

“ Geez I must have been 5 or 6. “

He removes the old drawing from the fridge.

JACK

“ Hmmm, What is this? “

The corner of the page was folded, covering what looks like a rabbit and the name Alroy.

JACK

“ Guess the old man really didn’t care for the rabbit. “  

Jack chuckled at the drawing, whips a tear from his eye then sat the drawing on the table then opens up the fridge door.

Jack

“ Of course red whine, bread and cheese. “

He lifts the cheese up.

JACK

“ Old molded cheese. Great. Maybe the rabbit will eat it? “  

VOICE

“ How rediculous! “

Jack jumps back, falls to the ground. The wine bottle rolls from the fridge then smashes between jacks legs.

JACK

“ Who is here? What do you want? “

VOICE

“ Oh Jack, can’t you see it’s me? “

Jack try’s to pick himself up, cutting his hand on shards of glass. He stumbles up and looks around the room.

JACK

“ Ok I’m done playing these games. If this is the old man, you win. I wasn’t the best but I wasn’t bad. “

VOICE

“ You weren’t bad? Oh boy. you have a rude awakening coming your way. “
