The Quiet Hour Page #3

Synopsis: Humans are few and far between since Earth was invaded by unseen extraterrestrial machines that harvest the planet's natural resources and relentlessly kill its inhabitants. In a remote part of the countryside, where starved humans have become as dangerous as the alien machines hovering in the sky, a feisty 19 year old girl, Sarah Connolly, sets out on a desperate attempt to fight back a group of bandits and defend her parents' farm, their remaining livestock, and the solar panels that keep them safe from extraterrestrials. If she doesn't succeed, she will lose her only source of food and shelter; but if she resists, she and her helpless blind sibling will be killed. And if the mysterious intruder dressed like a soldier who claims he can help them turns out to be a liar, then the enemy may already be in the house.

-He's all I have left!

Tom!

Tom!

Tom!!

-Tom!

-What?

They burned the straw.

-They're still here.

Go! Go.

-What are you doing?

-There is no asbestos.

We'll be fine.

-Tom!

-Sarah! Hey!

Tom's alive.

Ok?

Wait. I heard laughing.

-They're in the cellar.

-You alright?

-We need to get him out.

-I'll take him by surprise.

What are you doing?

-He'll sniff them out.

-Tom?

Tom.

Tom, Tom

It's me.

-Come on.

-Stay here, Ok?

-She's not here.

I guess they've gone.

-Tom?

-Get up!

Come over here, boy.

-Why did you shoot him?

There was no need.

-He killed my brother.

-You killed his wife.

-No...

They were already dead.

His wife ran to a

death with their child.

She just couldn't take it anymore.

We found him scavenging

for tomatoes in the garden.

Took them back to her bunker.

I guess we didn't agree on

what we had to do to survive.

You were wrong.

And because you wouldn't

listen, you got my husband killed.

-He tried to rape me.

-I don't believe you.

It's time for this to end.

-You're going to be Ok.

-I just needed you to trust me.

-We need to go.

Come back when it's safe.

-I didn't mean what I said about Jude.

-I know.

-What now?

-Are you sure this is what you want?

-Stop!

Maybe we should wait.

-What happened?

-They're gone.

-They left the same way they came.

Without warning.

Dad used to say as long as

there's hope in our hearts,

we'd survive.

He was right.

The end.
