EXT. TERRACED STREET

(L.S shows a van enter from a distance and pull up to a

house on a street. C.U of Steven's feet as he exits the

van and pans up to reveal him for the first time)

Steven exits the van, collects his equipment and sets upready to begin cleaning the lower windows on the house.As he is cleaning one of the windows, it flips open andhe falls into the building and lands in a dark, dankroom.

INT. THE LABORATORY

He climbs to his feet and begins to wander around theroom looking for an exit, as he does he finds he issurrounded by a strange array of machinery covered in

lights and screens. In the centre of the room is a largeglass case connected to a console by a series of wires

and tubes. A single light is shining down onto the casehighlighting an object within. Steven approaches theglass case to examine what is inside and discovers thatwithin the case is what appears to be an ordinary

goldfish bowl.

As Steven gets closer to the case, he notices a strange

aura exuding from within the bowl. Out of the corner ofhis eye he notices a large glowing button on the console.

At first he resists, but decides to push the button.

Suddenly there is a roar as the machine powers up,electricity flickers along the wires to the case, and a

blinding light causes Steven to look away.

EXT. THE VOID-SPACE

When the light fades Steven returns to look at the glasscase to find that he is in a completely different place,

it appears to be a void in which he has been transportedto. As he looks around he can see stars and planets and

as he looks to his feet it seems that he is floating on

nothing. In the distance he can see a bright light, as hestrains his eyes to exam the distant light there is a

huge explosion and behind him forms a black hole. Stevenbegins running towards the light as everything around himis sucked into the void, the closer he gets to the light

the greater the black hole becomes. Just as he reachesthe light and throws himself through it, the last of the

space is consumed and he is thrown onto the floor of thelaboratory once more.
