The Moon Glitched Script 15
TO GLITCH

FADE IN:
MAIN CHARACTER
(VO)
Before we all lost power, before
our government fell apart and before
the world delved into chaos, the moon
began to glitch.
MAIN CHARACTER
(VO)
The onlookers on earth gazed up
first with confusion, rubbing
their eyes and wondering if their
mind was playing tricks on them.
Cuts back to the family and the children are looking up to the
sky with frowns. They tug their mums arm curiously, and the
mother’s distracted smile disappears as she places a hand over
her mouth in fear.
MAIN CHARACTER
(VO)
Soon enough, that confusion turned
to fear, and that fear turned to
terror when the night sky stars
faded to nothing.

MAIN CHARACTER
(VO)
That’s when the darkness began.
CUT TO BLACK.
MAIN CHARACTER
(shakily)
Sam?
SAM
(vo on phone)
Did you see it?
MAIN CHARACTER
What the hell is going on? The moon
glitches, the sky has faded away
and there’s no power.
SAM
Thank god my phone was fully
charged. My brother can’t get
his to charge.
MAIN CHARACTER
Have you seen social media?
It’s trafficked with panic.
SAM
No, you were the first person I
thought of. What are people saying?
The main character runs a hand through his hair and gives a
shaky sigh.
MAIN CHARACTER
Everything and anything. Conspiracy
theories about space being fake, the
government lying to us about a hologram
being over our head.
There is silence on the other end and the main character takes
a deep breath.
MAIN CHARACTER
This is absolute bullshit! It’s
like one of those goddamn movies.
All this rubbish about the government
lying to us…it’s a load of crap!
