Day 14 - Scenes

Two weeks in! And the main site came up with a doozy today. To write a poem that is the opening scene to a movie about your life. So here goes nothing:

Prologue
EXT.
Evening. Rain like an orchestra crescendo. Wind - aria of unsaid names.
Pan from left. 
Zoom to window. Move to INT.
See them in profile. Blue glow of laptop screen bathing skin.
Unkempt bed - tapestry of clothes and books opened to varied pages.
Closer zoom;
Hands running through hair.
Rotate - over shoulder. See blank page.
Blink of cursor; indicating intent.

"It begins..."
Tilt towards ceiling. Music volume increases.
Title card. 
Cut to black.
