KEY:
INT and EXT, they’re switching from scene to scene.
CUT TO: Is a later scene.
O.S.: Is someone speaking off the screen for a short while.
V.O.: Someone speaking in someone’s head or someone invisible.
FADE OUT: Fading into a white or black screen
FADE UP: Fading into a scene.
This example here is a scene: INT. Space Needle – Night
Anyway, this is how I write my stories, I hope you enjoy them nevertheless.
Nightfall – The Legend is Real
Written by Joshua Jackson
Chapter 1 – In
INT. Black screen – Night
We see this on the screen: There’re some legends that can be true (fades away)
(fades up) and those legends can lead up to something dark…(fades away)
(fades up) Those who encounter one legend and hold on to a thirst for vengeance…(fades away)
(fades up) will be consumed by its fury…(fades away)
(fades up) The legend is true, and is the deadliest.
EXT. A small hut – Night
We see a small hut made out of clay and straw for the roof, that’s tied together by ropes. We see Sonic the Hedgehog outside looking at the glittering stars that filled the sky with a full moon that glowed to make it easy to see. Sonic is smiling and the sky reflected in his eyes.
Sonic (smiling): What a beautiful African night…
As he took it in, Nicole appeared behind him and said: ‘Sonic’.
Sonic jumped and turned to face Nicole.
Sonic: Nicole, please don’t do that.
Nicole: Sorry, Sonic. It’s about time for bed.
Sonic (smiling): Hey, I’m the world’s fastest hedgehog, I can be late for beddie-bye time.
Nicole: All right, Sonic. Unless you wanna miss the hunt tomorrow.
Sonic: Oh, yeah that’s right, Tails is taking us to that village tomorrow, isn’t he?
Nicole: Yes, and hopefully they can give us great Intel about that lion that’s been terrorizing the village.
Sonic: Okay. See you later Nicole.
Nicole: Bye.
Then she disappeared and Sonic looked back up into the sky.
INT. Main den – Small Hut – Night
Knuckles is laying on the couch while Amy and Cream sit huddled by the table. Sally then entered the room.
Sally: Looks like everyone’s pretty much asleep.
Knuckles: Well, everyone is except Sonic and Tails.
Sally: Yeah, they can be hard workers sometimes.
Amy: By the way, where’s Tails?
Sally: He’s in his room trying to figure out where the lion might be. And he may be trying to contact someone.
Amy: Who?
Sally: You know, his who.
Amy realized that Tails was trying to contact Li Moon. Cream stretched out and yawned.
Sally: I think I had better get Sonic and head to bed.
Knuckles: What about Tails?
Sally: We’ll let him stay up to think.
Knuckles: All right, I guess I’ll go to sleep now.
Then Sally headed outside while Amy carried Cream into their room.
Cream (sleepily): This is a small hut, isn’t it?
Amy: Yeah, but thank goodness it has some bedrooms.
Sally came back in with Sonic.
Sonic: I’m not even tired.
Sally: Come on, even heroes need sleep.
Sonic: But I…
Sally: Here, Sonic, lie down in this chair and…
Sonic flopped down onto the chair and fell asleep instantly, snoring.
Sally: Well, that’s something you don’t usually see…
She then kissed his forehead, closed the door, and turned off the light.
INT. Tails’ room – Night
Tails is thinking while drawing on maps, and looking at the locations that he received of where the lion was spotted. Rubbed his head with his hand and yawned. He closed the file and put it away.
Tails: We’ve got a long day tomorrow…
Then Tails put his 375-bolt action up against the wall, turned off the light and got into his bed. The moonlight glowed on him. Then he heard a lion’s roar in the distance…
FADE OUT: BLACK
End of chapter 1.
AN (author’s note): This is just the start; I hope you enjoyed it; we’ll get deeper into the story as we move along.
