CUT TO:
INT.HOUSE.2nd FLOOR-DAY
The room is messy and a dark haired man Todd Downey sits behind his writing desk. He`s a writer.
His face is tortured. He is 30 years old. His wife comes up the stairs. She is brunette and very beautiful.
Her name is Janine Race and she is 26.

                                                                   JANINE
                                                           (looking around)
                                                      When you`re gonna clean up
                                                               this mess?

                                                                    TODD
                                                              (in texas accent)
                                                                 Why should I?
                                                         It don`t matter anymore.

                                                                   JANINE
                                                        Why are you saying that?
                                                        It does matter very much.

                                                                   TODD
                                                      Is this as disgusting to
                                                   to look at as looking at me, huh?

                                                                    right?

                                                                  JANINE       
                                                            What`s wrong?          
                                                        You sound kinda weird.

                                                                   TODD

                                                               anything.

                                                                 JANINE
                                                        Why? Do you like
                                                      to live in this shithole? 
                                                           
                                                                 TODD
                                                          (smiling weirdly)
                                                      Maybe I do, but at least
                                                                  I live.      

Janine slowly starts to back up. Todd stands up.

                                                               JANINE
                                                         What`s wrong?     

                                                               TODD    
                                                       Do you love me?

                                                              JANINE
                                                Why are you askin` that?

                                                               TODD
                                                     (moving closer to her)
                                                       Do you love me?

                                                              JANINE
                                                          (timidately)
                                                                Yeah.   

                                                              TODD
                                                    You lie. I know you`re
                                                       cheating on me.
                                                      You lying whore!

Janine runs down the stairs and Todd takes a knife from the desk and he slowly moves down the stairs too.

CUT TO:
INT.HOUSE.1st FLOOR-DAY
Janine tries to run out, but Todd catches her and he pulls her on the floor. She falls face down and Todd turns her around and he wounds her face with the knife..Janine kicks him into the face. Then she runs out through the back door and straight to the backyard.

CUT TO:
EXT.BEHIND THE HOUSE-DAY
Janine runs out and Todd kicks hir back and Janine falls onto the ground. Todd takes the shovle. Janine turns herself to Todd.

                                                              JANINE
                                                  Why are you doin` this?

                                                               TODD
                                              Why did you cheat on me?

                                                             JANINE
                                            Because we didn`t have any
                                               commitment anymore.
                                                  Please, don`t do it....  

                                                             TODD 
                                                    (raising the shovle)
                                               I know I can do it, helpin`
                                        myself to another year from the
                                       steaming bowl. I`m sure that in time
                                         her death would be a mistery.....

                                                            JANINE   
                                                            (crying)  
                                                          Please!

Todd hits the shovle into her throat 5 times and a lot of blood pours out of there.

                                                            TODD
                                                  (immediatley after killing)
                                                         Even to me...

CUT TO:
EXT.HOUSE-DAY
Todd is changed and he looks normal now and he looks out of the window down the corn field.

TODD`S POV
CORN FIELD
We can see Janine`s spirit walking in the middle of the field and then she turns her bloody face to Todd and blood is still dripping from her throat.

                                                             JANINE
                                                     Die, Todd, die!

EXT.WINDOW-DAY
Todd smiles.

                                                               TODD
                                                    I`m sure that in time
                                              every bit of you will be gone
                                        and your death will be a mistery.....

EXT.CORN FIELD-DAY
The spirit disappears.

                                                               TODD
                                                           Even to me!

Then he quickly closes the window.
