INT: Bedroom. Night-time

Alice pulls bed sheet overhead, turns TORCH on and begins to sing nursery rhyme to doll

Alice:

(Sings)

Ring-a-ring o' roses, A pocket full of posies, A-tishoo! A-tishoo! We all fall down.

Torch turns off (Alice scream)

Alice turns torch back on, doll appears right in her face with blacked out eyes. Camera follows her as she struggles to escape from her bed.

Alice stands in the middle of her room *Pause* she then stands and stares at her window, emotionless. Camera turns to reveal her haunted reflection in the window. While camera pans, nursery rhyme is played slowly in the background. Her reflection smiles as she lifts up a family picture revealing the parents face’s scribbled out with crayon.
