EXT. DESTROYED WATER STATION – NIGHT
Drops of water strike wet earth.
Slow.
And stop.
A drained water barrel lies upended, peppered with bullet
holes. Slashed empty water containers litter rocky ground.
A flag, emblazoned with a rain drop, droops from a whip pole.
Facing away, an INFANT in a bright pink jacket crawls in the
dirt. She turns her head. She's long since dead. No eyes to
her sockets, skin withered to the bone.
She coughs. Chokes. Heaves up dry dust and dirt.
TROY (V.O.) screams - and stops. Breathes ragged.
INT. TROY'S TRAILER - BEDROOM – DAY
A pull-down bed in a curtained-off alcove.
TROY (late 50s, white, in scruffy jeans and T-shirt) lies wideeyed
on his back. His breathing quiets. Sitting up, he pulls a
pistol from a console beside the bed and heads out.
INT. RAQUEL'S APARTMENT - LOUNGE – DAY
Astronomy and physics textbooks cover a well-used coffee
table. A bike leans propped against a wall.
RAQUEL (19, Black, short, in Burgershed uniform, hair in a
simple flat twist crown) gets ready for work as her younger
sister SHIELLE (16) works on getting her goat.
RAQUEL
Shielle! You want to make me
scream? How many times I got to say
no dates on school nights?
SHIELLE
Since when was studying a date?
RAQUEL
Studying. With Marcus. In his room.

If you're an indie filmmaker (producer, director, screenwriter, actor, etc.) and your film is on a free streaming service (Tubi, Plex, Roku etc.), shout it out. Throw out a link. Brag a little, even if it's a shitty thriller like mine. You got it made. People can see it. Rejoice! #ScriptSky #FilmSky

Screenshot of the first page of DON'T BLINK:

INT. ONE ROOM HOUSE - DAY
SUPER: 1892
Morning light dances on -
Bloodied, mangled BODIES and decapitated heads with eyes squeezed shut, litter a splintering plank floor.
Poking out from under the expired is a OUIJA BOARD - 
BLINK and you miss it.
The CLANK of spurred cowboy boots as they scuff through the crimson wasteland, then stop in their tracks when --
-- A spur gets lodged in a bodiless arm.
A good shake of the boot and the bloody limb flumps off.
The boots belong to SHERIFF BILL (50s), cowboy hat, chaps, and a stoic, weathered face with a cigar clenched between his teeth. 
SHERIFF BILL
Can’t let the rest of the townsfolk see this shit.
BUDDY (O.S.)
Whaddya reckon we do?
Sheriff Bill grabs a bottle of liquor from a small table, takes a swig, then smashes it to the ground.
BUDDY (25), scrawny and scared of his own shadow, navigates the body parts like landmines until he and Sheriff Bill are side by side.
SHERIFF BILL
Burn it to the ground.
Sheriff Bill chucks his cigar onto the corpses. 
An explosion of flames.
EXT. ONE ROOM HOUSE - LATER
Sheriff Bill and Buddy watch as black smoke rises above angry flames that consume the house.
PUSH IN closer to the flames and smoke until --
BLACK
