SCREENPLAY:
HOW AISHA FOUND PEACE
written by ROBERT BRUINEWOUD
GENRE: fantasy / horror – SHORT, 6-pages
LOGLINE:
Soon after a small-town police officer learns that the CEO of the town’s largest employer (a firearms manufacturer), has been murdered, his home is invaded by a young girl suffering from fatal gunshot wounds.
SYNOPSIS:
Floyd, a small-town cop in New Mexico, drives to the home he once shared with his wife and kids.
Floyd’s usual night of getting drunk in front of the TV is interrupted by news that the CEO of the town’s largest employer has been murdered. Annoyed at first, he is relieved when he learns the crime did not occur in his jurisdiction.
Later he awakes to find a young Girl in his house. His anger soon turns to abject horror when she removes a bullet from her mangled torso and offers it to him. I can't say much more than that, given the script is just 6-pages, except to say that the Girl manages to exact her revenge.
