THE VISITOR

IT’S A QUIET AND DARK country side night, a typical night as the crickets and frog’s sounds dominate the atmosphere. Suddenly an unusual shine fades up brighter and brighter from the sky. The shine becomes an object blazing through the night sky then falls into the thickets. A crash is heard in the distance the casualty continues as the sound of trees breaking and the ground crumbling and ripping indicate an object has crashed.

In sight is an alien escape pod tumbling over and over kicking up dust as it comes to a sliding halt; leaving a trail of burnt wood and leaves. A moment passes, then the hatch to the cooling escape pod begins to knock, harder, then harder until it finally pops open. The depressurization of the pod causes steam to fog the escape pod making it difficult to see who or what is inside.

Meanwhile a convoy of black SUVs come racing through the highway, the highway reveals the road heading into the direction of the pod crash landing. The SUV convoy pull over to the side of the road, then a team of men in quarantine suits emerge from the vehicles. They routinely unload high tech equipment and weapons; communicating as they enter the thickets.

Tungsten lights flash from the all the quarantine suits, as they easily they tread through the thickets, they’re clearly searching for the crashed escape pod.

Among the quarantine suits wearers presiding the search is DR. BEDFORD BENNY; his face is shown through his face mask with a thick elderly mustache with glasses.

Doctor… Over here.

Says one of the task force members who has found something over a horizon. The tracks of the plummeted escape pod lead into the distance.

In just a few yards lies the escape pod, cooled with the hatch opened. The Task Force men shine their tungsten lights into the escape pod only to find it vacant but the they continue to investigate. The country side field seems quiet and peaceful as if the escape pod had been sitting

there for weeks until a flock of night herons flee an area of bushes. There appears to be something hiding the dense bushes and Dr. Benny signals for them to check it out.

The task force men arm themselves with their rifles as they slowly approach the bushes. Suddenly in a flash, something runs out darting it way in to woods away from the intruders. The task force men follow giving chase.

The feet of the alien go trampling through the woods in great stride as the alien is trying to escape the task force pursuit but Task Force relentlessly track down their target whom then comes to a stop as it appears they’ve lost the alien. The men continue to search the area until suddenly, one of the task force men is snatched away from his feet. The commotion draws attention as the others instantly point their rifles into the bushes where their comrade was dragged into. Whoosh, a force field blast pushes them back as a warning but the task force men cautiously come to their feet which gives the alien no choice but go on the offensive.

One by one the task force team is taking a beating being pummeled to the ground, no can see what or who it is that’s doing it.

The alien watches the task force men still laid out who slowly gather themselves while on their sides and backsides.

The alien turns to see one quarantine suit remains standing, its Dr. Benny with a high-tech stun gun and quickly shoots a blast into the alien. With the alien down and restrained, Dr. Benny stands over it to find a case which the alien was carrying and relieves the alien of it.

Police sirens are heard in the distance, then a helicopter flies overhead shining a search light. Dr. Benny becomes prompted to avoid

MORNING ROUTINE

ON A TYPICAL MORNING IN a kid’s bedroom, filled with robotic inventions and projects. All the essentials of someone who spends lots of time dissecting and programming electronics. The room belongs to twelve-year-old COREY who looks like he hasn’t been socializing with anyone for days for he has been entirely focused on his new project. Corey has created a radio/transmitter and he dons a head set for he is attempting to contact space. Typical for a kid like Corey which it is his passion for electronics. Corey is quite the electronic genius but he lacks the resources as the incomplete and broken projects in the room portrays. Corey
