Memory 02/10

Open on the campground – a small tree with vines growing up its trunk.

Fade out.

Text: 100 YEARS AGO

Fade in on a garden. A woman, the Caretaker, lights a match. She puts the flame up to a vine, but the flame has no effect. She shakes her head in frustration. She picks up a notebook where she has written various methods that she has tried to remove the vine. Next to “fire” she writes “no effect.”

THE CARETAKER: If I could imbue the flame with magic, maybe. The right kind of magic.

Fade out.

A VOICE: The right kind of magic?

Fade in on the campground – the same small tree with vines growing up its trunk.

Cut to black.
