Masked transition
INT. Apartment
Andrew gets in from work and picks up an eviction notice. He throws it on the floor. He
stumbles through the bedroom and looks and the bottles and pills. He walks back out to the door
and uncrumples the notice. He looks in his wallet revealing nothing. He then slumps defeated on
his chair. His eyes contact a silver object. He gets an idea.
Masking Transition to next day
Andrew wakes up with a bounce, ready for the day. He brushes the bottles and pills off his bed
ignoring them. He goes to his front room and picks up the silver object and goes to head out the
door. When his hand touches the door, he looks back at the notice and heads out.
