DIMENSIONS

INT. Medical room- EVENING

Black screen. 3 slow beep sound. Camera is focused on the rubix cube in Helen’s hands and gradually zooms out to reveal her sitting on a bed. She is playing with the rubix cube, whilst the radio is playing in the background and her phone is on loudspeaker.
Helen
Sometimes it feels like my minds like a rubix cube. I just cant seem to figure it out, the doctors tell me I’m seeing and hearing things that aren’t there. How can that ne when it feels real?

RADIO PRESENTER
Welcome back to London radio next we have surgery hour where we’re here to help with you r problems and anxieties. Next on the line we have Helen, hi Helen what’s bothering you?

HELEN
(Casual tone)
Well…

Helen is still playing with the cube and suddenly the screen turns yellow. We hear a loud scream. The camera zooms out. Helen is jumping up and down with joy and a letter in her hand.

HELEN
(Excited)
I’m going to America

SISTER
(Happy)
Oh my gosh, did you get in to the academy??


HELEN
(Loudly)
Yes I did!

Helen places letter near the rubix cube on a desk. The family hug excitedly.

Screen turns orange

Helen is playing with the rubix cube. Her sister gathers the whole family up to take a picture on the sofa. She places the cube on the table and the camera is zoomed on a digital camera taking the picture of the family. Flash

Screen turns green

HELENS MUM
(To Helens sister)
Any parent would be proud to have you as their daughter. Seriously you’ve done so well in your studies this year, so I wanted you to have these

HELENS mum pulls out a ticket

HELENS SISTER
(Excited)
Mum you’re the best! But what about Helen, she would love to go to this?

HELENS MUM
This is for your achievements, not hers

Helen is in the background listening in and is very jealous.

Screen turns red

HELEN
(Angry)
I can’t believe you lied to me

HELENS SISTER
We only did it to protect you from getting hurt

HELEN
So I’ve been living a lie and you’ve never thought to tell me I wasn’t even part of this family?

HELENS SISTER
Stop pushing away the people who care about you

HELEN
Get out of my room now you evil COW!!

HELENS SISTER
(Sad)
Please don’t do this, you’ll regret it

HELEN
(Shouts very loud)
I said GET OUT NOW!

Helens sister walks out the room and smashes the door shut. Helen throws the rubix cube at the door. The cube lands on the colour blue.

Screen turns blue

Helen is holding a letter and crying. She shuts the door of her front door and puts the letter in her pocket. Still crying she walks away from the door with her belongings in a bag. She stares at her house for a moment but decides to head off. She stops to rest near a tree and plays with the rubix cube. The cube falls to the ground and lands on the colour blue. She walks away from it but decides to come back and get it. She then slowly walks away.

The screen turns white


The rubix cube is lying on the floor. A white cloth suddenly drops over it.

THE END

So what happened next?
