PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

It's one of the stones from my vehicle. I don't know why it would want it.

GARY BRYANT:

It seemed like it was trying to absorb something from it maybe. It was holding it almost like a child. It was as though it had some connection to the rock. There's something else. Please don't think I'm crazy, I got a strange phone call while I was in the bar. It was from my daughter.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

Is she alright?

GARY BRYANT:

She has been missing for several years now.

SHERIFF TOM HOWARD

That's strange, I old was your daughter when she went missing.

GARY BRYANT:

She was only 13 years old.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

I was 13 when my father went missing.

SHERIFF TOM HOWARD

My daughter was 13 also.

GARY BRYANT:

I believe I know why the number 13 is so important. It's a message.

DEPUTY GERALD:

A message from or for what.

GARY BRYANT:

I'm not exactly sure, but I believe that it has something to do with the beginning of our universe and maybe the end. I've been tracking some interesting cosmic disturbances at the observatory. The orbits of several distant planets in our solar system have drastically changed. Two planets appear to be missing. My thoughts are also that these strange dark rocks maybe all that's left of their planet somehow.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

That could explain why they want the rocks. Our radio way waves may have lead them here to our planet, but the sound affects them. Somehow it makes them pain.

SHERIFF TOM HOWARD

I wonder if they are blaming us for what happened to them.

GARY BRYANT:

I'm really feeling sick.

DEPUTY GERALD:

He's starting to look like Frank.

GARY BRYANT:

Just go, I'll be...

Gary start to convulse.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

He's going into shock.

DEPUTY GERALD:

Step away from him.

Gary's body begins to decay, smolder and smell really bad.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

My daughter, I need to go to my mother's house. Please take me to them.

Tom, Shirley and Gerald get back into the car and leave for Shirley's mothers house.

EXT. Shirley's mother's House - Morning

As they arrive at Shirley's mother's house, the house appears to be abandoned. The charred body of her mother lies on the ground next to the house. Shirley is immediately stricken with grief for fear that her daughter has met the same fate.

Crying and yelling loudly.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

Haley... Haley where are you baby, please O'lord please, not her too.

Tom holds on to her to consul her when Tom notices that the cellar door to the house is slightly mangled, but closed. Shirley calls out to her daughter again.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

Haley..

Haley acknowledges her mother's cry as she answers from the cellar.

Haley

Mama.

Shirley and Haley embrace with tears falling.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

Sweetie are you alright (whipping tears and smiling).

HALEY:

Yes mama, I was so scared, grandma tried to fight them, but they kept coming at her. I hid mama, there was nothing I could do. Where were you mama, where have you been.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

I'm right hear baby, right now and I'm never going to leave you again. I promise.

HALEY:

You promise.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

Yes, I promise.

As Tom, Shirley and Haley walk back towards the car, deputy Gerald looks back down into the cellar and notices piles of dark colored rocks, but keeps quiet about it to the others.

They all get in the car and head back towards the sheriffs office to get Maggie the dispatcher.

ExT. The Drive back to the SHERIFF’S OFFICE - Morning

Deputy Gerald is sitting next to Haley in the back of the cruiser when Tom notices a bad smell coming on.

SHERIFF TOM HOWARD

Man, I think we could all use a good bath right about now as he rolls down the driver side window.

Haley looks at deputy Gerald with a deep stair and starts to vomit. Haley's whole body begins to change into one of the creatures and attacks deputy Gerald in the back seat. Tom loosing control of the cruiser and flips over into a ditch. The creature bows up to kill both Shirley and Tom when dispatcher Maggie comes back across the radio.

MAGGIE DISPATCHER

Come in Tom. You still out there. Are you coming to get me out of here or what.

The creature reacts violently to the sound and exits the vehicle.

Tom and Shirley struggle to get out of the vehicle. Shirley drops to the ground in tears.

PROFESSOR SHIRLEY BANE

What's happening to us, oh lord, why.

Tom pulls Shirley back to her feet as they exit the ditch. Tom see's an abandoned news van on the side of the road. Tired an battered, they get in the van and head to the Sheriff's office.

INT. SHERIFF’S OFFICE - Mid Morning

Tom and Shirley enter the office and free Maggie from the holding cell.

(Whining)

MAGGIE DISPATCHER

It's about damn time. Feels like I haven't eaten in two days.

SHERIFF TOM HOWARD

(sniffing) What's that smell?

Tom draws his gun out on Maggie.

MAGGIE DISPATCHER

Tom, have you lost your got damn mind. I had to use it in that damn cell without any tissue. Do you have any idea what that's been like...hell I outta ...

Maggie gets interrupted.

Just as Maggie begins to explain her night, something from under the dispatch desk grabs her by the ankle.

(Gasping for air and very afraid)

MAGGIE DISPATCHER

Oh No...help.

The creature snatches her to the floor and drags her quickly to a dark back office and begins to tear her apart.

Tom and Shirley rush out of the Sheriff's office into the street. As they look up into the sky the begin to see the sky beginning to turn reddish and he ground begins to shake. They both reach for each others and embrace. Strange sounds from the creatures can be heard everywhere. As the atmosphere breaks apart and the sun rays become intense, Tom and Shirley embrace each other and begins to smolder under the heat.

Cut away to the cabin in the woods.

Michael's body lays flat on the porch of the cabin and begins to burns. The lake dries up as the earth begins to fall apart into the abyss of space. On the other side of the black hole, a big bang begins a new universe. Life starts all over.

The End.
