51. Dysthymia-Eric




• FADE IN


• INT. GLASS ROOM-UNKNOWN


• Florence sits in a glass room. She is gagged and her hands are bound behind her back. Her face is contorted with a mix of anger and insanity.


• People walk past Florence, not so much as giving her a glance. Her body jerks ackwardly as she tries to come out of the restraints. Her head follows the people hopelessly as they come and go.


• A man and a woman stand by the glass room, arguing. They trade and parry verbal attacks. The man finally raises his fist and hits the glass room, smashing a wall to pieces.


• Florence screams muffled pleas, rocking the chair beneath her. The man and woman cannot hear her. In her frenzy the chair tips over.


• The man and woman leave. Two men walk and stop at the chair. The two men begin arguing and then trading blows. One man brings the chair to the other man's face, knocking him out cold. He leaves.


• Florence squirms on the floor, and manages to loop her arms under her legs, bringing her bound hands in front of her. She shimmies the nylon bondings back and forth on a sharp edge of the chair, eventually snapping them loose. She attempts to untie her gag, giving up after a long struggle.


• She lies on her side and looks down at her bound feet. Coils of nylon rope wrap around her legs.


• A janitor walks by, slowly sweeping up the shards of glass. He hums to himself, unaware of Florence. She screams again, but it is muffled by the gag. The janitor turns in the direction he came, and begins slowly walking while sweeping.


• Florence manages to grab his pant leg. She maintains her grip as he continues to walk slowly, now with a slight limp from Florence's extra weight. She continues screaming and begins shaking his leg, but he gives no response.


• She grabs a piece of sharp glass, and jabs it into his calf. He doesn't scream but continues trying to walk, much slower than before.


• She grabs another piece of glass, and thrusts it into his back. He falls down, dropping the broom and dust bin. Florence continues holding on, while the janitor slowly crawls.


• She stabs him several more times, using a new piece of glass each time. His back is replete with glass pieces. A large piece juts from his neck. Blood soaks his shirt.


• He stops crawling and begins choking. His face becomes flushed. He closes his eyes and turns limp. She mounts him, shaking him and screaming through the gag.


• She beats his limp body with her fists and begins crying.
