Lost Innocence
Written by:
Nick Borowski
A gloomy day at a cemetery, a 40-year-old man named Logan dressed in a
suit and tie with black sunglasses is standing at a funeral. The camera pans
over from the casket getting lowered to the man. The camera sits there for
10 seconds as a tear drops down his face. You can hear slight “Dad, Dad,
Dad”
Cuts to a sunny day at a lake house with Logan’s youngest daughter, aged
12 named Jess, yelling dad to try to get his attention. Cuts to the same close
up of Logan and he snaps back into reality and Jess gets Logan’s attention.
Jess goes and jumps into the lake. Logan sitting with same sunglasses on at
the lake with his brother-in-law James and his wife Lea, watching their kids.
Lucas
I’m glad we could get them away from everything. They need a fresh of
breath air.
James
We need a breath of fresh air.
Lucas smiles and continues under his breath
For sure
Lucas gets up, runs, and cannonballs into the lake
The kids start climbing on Lucas playing around

Wow. You look just like your mother.
