Author's note: OK, this is a short story based on 'Kasting' from the short horror movie competition 'Cut!'. In this short film, a woman auditions for a part in, I think, a film or a play. During her audition, she is required to hang herself. This inspired me to write this story. Words in brackets are either what is going on in the fic or who is speaking. It's my new form of script writing. So enjoy!

(Text) 'Following an infected siege on a military base in a rural area outside Ohio, infected found footage of infected being killed in a part for a so called 'infected movie'…..'

(Text) '5 months later, the footage was placed onto the internet via shock sites. This was later removed when special infected found this to be disturbing…..'

(Text) 'However, our team of hackers have managed to get this out of infected government hands and onto its illegal website.'

(Recording Starts)

(A dark room is shown. In the centre is a small wooden chair. To its left was a table of tools, to its right a doorway.)

(A Hunter walks in surveying its surroundings)

(Hunter) "Hello?"

(Cameraman) "Hello there. If you can just take a seat over there please?"

(The Hunter looks at the chair and sits down on it.)

(Cameraman) "Can you please state your name and infected class?"

(Hunter) "Um, my name is Thomas Gold and I am a Hunter."

(Cameraman) "OK Thomas, um, for this movie, we need a character who is gonna kill himself at one point. So, we're gonna need to see you, in character, die."

(Thomas) "Alright, I can do that. In what context?"

(Cameraman) "We haven't decided what suicide method to choose yet…"

(As the cameraman continues to speak, a hand pointing at the table is seen.)

"So, you just need to pick up a weapon, and um, kill yourself with it. If you could please stand up."

(Thomas slowly stands.)

(Cameraman) "If you could please choose a suicide method."

(Thomas goes up to the table. On it are a variety of weapons and tools. A razor blade, a butcher knife, an axe, a gun, a piece of rope, a bottle of cyanide capsules & a tazer can be seen. The axe and the knife seem to have stains of dried blood.)

(Thomas carefully looks at the weapons, slowly choosing.)

(Cameraman) "I'd hate to rush you, but we have 10 more auditions to go through today."

(Thomas) "Sorry."

(Thomas quickly reaches out and grabs the gun.)

(Cameraman) "The gun. Good choice. If you look behind you, there is another chair with a clip on the table next to it."

(Thomas looks back and notices the table.)

(Thomas) "Do you want me to…..?"

(Cameraman) "Yeah please."

(Thomas goes up to the chair.)

(Cameraman) "If you can please sit down.

(Thomas does as he is told.)

(Cameraman) "Can you also load the gun as well?"

(Thomas) "Um, sure."

(Thomas takes the clip and places it inside the gun before cocking it.)

(Cameraman) "Good. How does that feel?"

(Thomas) "Alright, I guess."

(Cameraman) "Excellent. Now, if you can put the nozzle of the gun to your head."

(Thomas becomes hesitant.)

(Thomas) "This is safe, isn't it?"

(Cameraman) "It's OK. Just put the nozzle to your head. You do want the part, don't you?"

(Thomas) "Of course!"

(Cameraman) "Then, you'll need to put that gun to your head."

(Thomas looks at the gun then back at the camera.)

(Cameraman) "Don't worry, that gun you're holding is fake."

(Thomas) "Oh OK."

(Thomas finally puts the nozzle to his head.)

(Cameraman) "Good. Now just pull the trigger."

(Thomas is so scared, he starts sweating)

(Cameraman) "Just pull the trigger."

(Thomas) "Alright."

(He finally pulls the trigger.)

BANG!

(Thomas falls from the chair and lies on the floor, dead. A small puddle of blood begins to form at his head.)

(Cameraman) "Next."

(Recording ends.)
