CLOSE UP

MILA Wakes up (panting heavily) dressed in pyjamas, the

distraught face slowly morphs into confusion from the strange

nightmare. MILA busies herself by frantically searching for

her phone, to her relief she finds and sees notifications from

WhatsApp, Facebook, and Snapchat. Subconsciously, she scrolls

down her phone ignoring it with the nightmare still fresh in

her mind. Mila shrugs of the vivid nightmare and gets up from

bed.
