Darkness.

All we hear is beep…

beep…

beep…

Lights slowly rise.

Still more beep…

beep…

beep…

Lights are up.

LINDA sitting in a hospital room next to her father DAVID.

DAVID is in a coma.

beep…

beep…

beep…

LINDA watches her father, motionless.

beep…

beep…

beep…

LINDA thinks of the right words to say.

beep…

beep…

beep…

LINDA listens to the beeps. The beeps drive her nuts.

But she wouldn’t be able to stand it if they stopped.

beep…

beep…

beep…

LINDA is paralyzed. DAVID is motionless.

beep…

beep…

beep…

Lights start to fade.

beep…

beep…

beep…

Darkness.

beep…

beep…
