Chapter 1

(Rain is hammering down relentlessly on the Kent's red truck as Martha rushes Jonathan to the hospital.  She can barely see through the rain she is speeding through frantically.  Jonathan is lying with his head on her lap.  His breathing is struggled and his face is lined with beads of sweat.  He grimaces, clutching his chest, and groans in pain.)

Martha (Looking down at him furtively): "Hold on, please, hold on."

(The truck fades ahead into the rain as another car slowly fades in, coming the opposite direction.  Chloe's Volkswagen Bug is driving through the rain as she tightly grips the wheel.  Her eyes are open wide but she is barely seeing the road in front of her.  She pulls up to her house and gets out.  Not feeling the rain, she walks slowly.  As she approaches her front door, an explosion knocks her off her feet and into the railing of her porch.  Looking over, she sees her car crash back to Earth, just a frame of what it was several seconds before.  Terrified, she stands and looks at the front door of her house.  After hesitating several seconds, she runs back into the rain and fades away.)
