Original Story by

INT. House – EARLY
MORNING
Black screen shown.
Looking at an alarm on a table beside
a bed.
Sound of Alarm started.
A man fast asleep just nudges.
EXT. Outside
(tree) – Early Morning
Going outside through the window onto
a tree, a squirrel hears to the alarm and wakes up.
Walking outside its tree hole, still
eyes half closed, suddenly slips and falls down from the branch.
Bounces on a branch below and ends up
inside a room of the house.
INT. ROOM –
Morning
Opening Steve’s (squirrel) eyes, he
realizes he is somewhere in a new place.
Doing a 360◦ turn with
Steve at the center with eyes wide open and jaw dropped.
Slowly turning back to see the window
and the outside world.
Steve realizes he has to get out
through the window and walks across the room to see the surroundings.
Coming across the bathroom wall
tiles, he notices another squirrel. Not knowing it’s his own reflection, he
tries to communicate with it.
Frustration builds up as the
reflection is performing the exact same actions as Steve.
Suddenly, the door knob turns, Steve
could hear and takes cover as a human opens the door and enters.
The man stands inside the bathroom
and looks into the mirror. Steve closely hides behind.
Then Steve notices a stinky smell,
the camera rapidly un-zooms showing a commode behind which Steve is hiding.
Unpleasant expressions on Steve’s
face as he slowly tries to move away from that place.
Keeping an eye on the human, Steve
slowly moves as he accidentally steps over a soap bar and slips to fall on its
face.
The human listens and looks back
Steve in full tension gets back on
his feet and rushes.
Everything looked normal to the human
and he turned back.
Focusing back to Steve, as he quickly
hid behind a shampoo bottle with his tail in his hands.
Steve makes his way onto the bathtub
where he stood on the edge. Jumping from the tub onto the towel hanger and
climbing the wall behind it.
The human turns towards the towel and
takes it off the hanger, exposing Steve.
In complete shock, Steve stops his
climb……noticing the human and the human seeing Steve……they stare at each other
in shock.
Staring for a while, the human moves
a little and Steve panics more and screams. Looking at the squirrel, the human
screams too.
Screaming at each other for a while,
the human moves a little more and Steve runs.
Climbs the wall onto a platform and
runs towards the edge.
Staring at the window (few feet away
from the platform), Steve takes a deep breath.
Narrower eyes and a race position.
Jumps at the edge.
Slow motion in air.
Showing facial expressions and
movement.
(FPS) seeing the bottom, realizing it
can’t make the jump and falls down.
Slowly panning the camera down to
edge, Steve manages to hold on to it.
Just barely as he tries to pull
himself and eventually the hard work pays off.
Gets on his feet and takes a deep
breath. Now again runs and jumps off the window.
The human sees all this just standing
and as Steve jumps out the window, he puts his hand out to reach.
Looking outside the window, Steve
jumps off the branch and bounces onto his house branch.
Confused as the human is, Steve is
happily in his tree house!
