Title: The Puzzle of Bobby
FADE IN:
EXT. BOBBY’S ROOM – DAY
The camera pans to Bobby’s room, where we see a wooden puzzle lying on his desk. Suddenly, a loud scream is heard from outside the room.
INT. BOBBY’S ROOM – DAY
Bobby is seen sitting on his bed, staring at the puzzle with a look of curiosity. He picks it up and starts to play with it.
BOBBY
(to himself)
This puzzle is really cool. I wish I could solve it.
As he continues to play with the puzzle, he begins to feel a strange energy emanating from it.
Suddenly, a voice booms from nowhere in particular.
DEMON
(in a smarmy tone)
Greetings, Bobby. I have been waiting for you.
BOBBY
(terrified)
What do you want from me?
DEMON
(smiling wickedly)
I want your soul. And I think this puzzle can help me get it.
BOBBY
(panicking)
How did you get into my room? How did you even know about this puzzle?
DEMON
(chuckling)
Oh, Bobby. You are so naive. I have been watching you for some time now. And as for the puzzle, well, it was given to you by none other than…me.
BOBBY
(horrified)
You mean…you’re the one who gave me this puzzle?
DEMON
(nodding)
Yes, Bobby. And now that you have solved it, you have unlocked its true power. The power to summon demons from another realm. And I am one of them.
BOBBY
(desperate)
Please, I don’t want to summon any demons. I just want to be left alone.
DEMON
(laughing)
Too late, Bobby. The demon has already arrived. And now, it’s time for you to pay the price for solving the puzzle.
The camera fades to black as Bobby screams in terror.
FADE OUT.
