It's Alive!

FADE IN:

INT. A HOUSE - LIVINGROOM - DAY

An empty livingroom. A TV, a table and chairs, and a couch,
all sitting alone and forlorn and very unused-like.
Something about the couch is not quite right. One of the
seat cushions moves a little bit.

Suddenly, a HAND appears, emerging from beneath the cushion.

A hand. A hand, and a wrist. And some fingers. Some
fingers, a hand and a wrist, all attached together. A very
strange sight indeed.

And ... it's ALIVE!

It's alive and it grabs the cushion imprisoning it. It grabs
it from the side and pushes it up off of the couch. Followed
shortly thereafter by MARY. Thirty-ish and slim, she wears
an odd smile and some kind of all-white jumpsuit-type outfit.
She gets up out of the couch. Stands beside it. Replaces the
cushion and preens the couch back into its former state.

MARY
That was a ... really strange dream.
