Screenplay for "Rock Bottom"

A man (we’ll call him “Jack”) is walking down a dark, run-down road surrounded by graffiti, desolate buildings and rubbish. As he walks, we see that he is nervous and scared by what it is he is walking to. He remembers certain things that have happened to him as he walks, things including his wife leaving him, loosing his job and owing money to dangerous people. We see Jack nearing a building; he stops outside it and stares at the building, his fear taking over his body and anxiety riddled on his face. Eventually he takes the first step into the building and begins to enter.

The room he enters is pitch black, a door is opened by a rough looking man; Jack walks through to find three other men sitting at a poker table, all staring at him, all waiting for him to take a seat. Nervously he sits down; one of the men already at the table looks into his eyes and begins to deal the cards. Jack looks down at his wrist and pulls of an expensive watch, thinks of wife, and places it in front of him on the table.

As the cards are dealt and the flop, turn and river cards are showing, Jack sees’s he has a full house. Only one other man at the table is still in the game, sitting directly opposite him. Jack looks at his cards, smiles and shows what he has. As he goes for the pile of chips in the centre, the man opposite grabs his hand, Jack looks up to see the man has a four-of-a-kind winning hand. As all the men around the table stand up, the man opposite Jack pulls out a knife. Jacks face has turned from a smile to great fear as he watches the blade go down towards his hand, and pain runs through him faster than fear ever did.

Outside the men though Jack out onto the ground, he clutches his hand in pain and as tears run down his face he picks himself up and begins walking. A few steps later and Jack falls down again. He doesn’t get up.
