THE FOGGY ROAD

A Short Screenplay by A.Zy Yaghoubi

FADE IN:

INT. DAY – A SMALL OLD CABIN

Manizeh is holding the cabin door tightly shut. Her face has gone pale with fear. She's sweating and panting. The sound of several wild dogs barking and scratching at the door can be heard outside.

MANIZEH (breathing heavily): God, help me! God, please help me!

EXT. DAY – OUTSIDE THE CABIN

Three large dogs bark and throw themselves against the wooden door.

FLASHBACK
INT. DAY – A BUSINESS OFFICE

A man (the company boss) sits behind his glass office door, looking down at some papers. Manizeh stands at the doorway and knocks. The man lifts his head and nods for her to come in. She enters and places several folders on the desk.

MANIZEH: Sir, these are the files you asked for. All have been sorted, their accounts checked, and transfers completed.
BOSS: Good. Well done.

Manizeh exits the office. The shot ends on the boss's face.

EXT. DAY – A CITY STREET

Manizeh walks through a crowded, heavily polluted street wearing a face mask. She raises her hand and hails a taxi.
