RURAL GARDEN - HOUES IN THE COUNTRY - DAY ACT 1 ENTER WIND/FOREST SFX The camera opens from the sun to a rural haven comprised entirely of nature and natural beauty, the sun is at dusk coloring the sky beautiful shades of reds, yellows & oranges. The grass compliments the sky with subtle greens, the house in the distance is a faded blue devoid of perfect clarity but it is distinguishable enough to be considered a house. A subtle breeze lightly mobilizes the grass and causes a number of leaves to fall from surrounding trees. A wish flower delicately enters floating with the subtle breeze reflecting the suns gaze across its fluffy white exterior, the camera follows till the flower meets the lap of our central protagonist - a tattered orphan boy by the name of Charles. Charles is disheveled wearing worn and grease ridden materials from musky browns to dark grays. His skin is youthful dawning the odd splat of oil and dirt, in addition his skin bares wear and tear with the odd callus. Charles has a short nose and a remarkably weak chin but his eyes display his identity, telling a story all by themselves. ENTER GRAB SFX The camera stays fixated on the wish flower sitting on his lap until Charles rough & dirty palm quickly reaches down and grabs it. EXIT GRAB SFX ACT 2 2
