Living Vicariously, Scene #01
In the gripping opening scene, we find Becky (Natalie Knight) hurriedly making her way down a deserted street, her body language screaming tension, eyes darting nervously. She's a woman on edge, glancing back as if expecting someone, or something, to appear. But the street is empty, or so it seems. Her pace quickens, turning into a full-blown panic as she nears her house, frantically digging for her keys. She's a whirlwind of fear, dropping them, swearing under her breath, but finally manages to get inside, slamming the door shut behind her. Becky lets out a sigh of relief, but her curiosity piques—she can't help but look out the window. And there she is, Gwen (Jane Wilde), standing eerily still, eyes locked on Becky. What does she want? Cut to the next day, Becky confides in her friend Mitchell (Nathan Bronson). Gwen, an ex's former flame, is stalking her. She needs Mitchell's comfort, his protection. They settle on the couch, Becky nestled into Mitchell's side, seeking solace in his presence. Mitchell, trying to be casual, drapes an arm around her. Becky accepts the gesture, finding comfort in his embrace, but for Mitchell, it's more—he's smitten, and it's written all over his face. But Becky, oblivious to his feelings, is focused on the TV. Will Mitchell's unrequited feelings cloud his judgment when it matters most? Suddenly, a loud crash echoes through the house. Becky jumps, terror in her eyes, as Mitchell springs into action. He's protective, searching the house for the source of the noise. The suspense is palpable—is Gwen lurking in the shadows? But it's a false alarm. Mitchell turns to reassure Becky, but his face drops. Becky's not looking at him; she's looking past him, her eyes wide with fear. Gwen is right behind her. How did she get in? Gwen's motives become clear—she's obsessed with Becky, her desires dark and twisted. She wants to see Becky, to see her with Mitchell. She manipulates Mitchell, playing on his feelings for Becky. Mitchell tries to resist, but Gwen's words are insidious, burrowing into his mind. He admits his feelings, his resentment at being overlooked. Gwen smirks, her plan falling into place. She suggests the unthinkable—the three of them, together. Becky hesitates, but Gwen promises it will be the end of her stalking. Will Becky agree to Gwen's twisted game to find peace? Gwen grins, a malicious glint in her eye. She's about to get what she wants, her obsession fueling her every move. The stage is set for a twisted dance of desire and deception. Will Becky and Mitchell play into Gwen's hands, or will they find a way to break free from her sinister grip? The tension is high, the stakes even higher. It's a performance you won't want to miss, a thrilling tale of lust, obsession, and the darker side of desire. Brace yourself for a wild ride, because in this story, nothing is as it seems!
