FADE IN:
ON AN OLD ALARM CLOCK
TICKING, the bells gone, the little hand missing, the big hand indicating twenty-after-something. It is bound with black electrical tape, time-bomb fashion, to a plastic water-filled spray bottle.
The alarm RINGS; the bell hammer tugging the piece of kite string tied to the trigger of the bottle; water is misted onto the face of -
BRIAN STEVENSON, a dark-haired twelve-year-old with eyes that dont miss much. Awake now, he shuts off the alarm and snaps on the Tensor lamp next to his bed. We are
INT. STEVENSON HOME - ATTIC ROOM - NIGHT
A huge poster shows the history of train engines. A stairway is cut into the floor. No curtains on the window. A just-past-half moon shines in the night sky.
Brian pulls on a pair of thick wool socks. He skates past a cluttered worktable, across the hardwood floor to the stairs.
INT. HALLWAY
Brian moves quietly past a closed door; on it, a plaque reads Erics Room above a picture of an antique car.
Farther down is another closed door. Brian pauses, listening to the sounds of Mom and Dad arguing; no words can be made out, only the tones, the rise, fall, sharpness of voices.
Brian looks away from the door. Prepares for his assault on the stairs. He reaches his foot down - and the step CREAKS loudly. Brian freezes. He moves his foot to the left, puts his weight on it. Silence. He goes right for two more, skips the next stair altogether, making his way to the bottom of the minefield of possible creaks and groans.
