"LOCKED OUT"

A short film by P. Canole

INT. OFFICE HALLWAY - DAY


COWORKER

You running today, Pat?

PAT

I sure am!

COWORKER

At the gym?

PAT

Nope.  I'm hitting the track.  I'm outside, Baby!

EXT. PAT WALKING ON SIDEWALK.  MIDDAY.  EARLY SPRING.  PAT HAS RUNNING CLOTHES ON.

PAT

(to self)

Boy, I sure can't wait to run on the track!

(smiling, looking around)

PAT WALKS AROUND CORNER AND SEES

PAT

(quietly at first)

No... No...  Just... No...

(then louder)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(a single tear falls down PAT's cheek... camera pulls back... rain starts to fall)
