Short Story Outline

Well. Since I made a promise to myself to start writing more and posting more things on my blog, I figured this could be a good place to upload my step outline for my script and storyboarding class. Before you judge, I promised quantity, not quality. It's a horror outline for my ten page script I'm going to write (hopefully). Here it is:

1.Pickup truck with a trailer crawls to the shore of the lake. Mark Glen and Ellen are setting up for camp during the long weekend

2. Mark goes out to collect firewood for their campfire. A creature is watching Mark, hidden from view.

3.The three friends cook dinner and have a good time.

4. Glen goes out to take a piss in the middle of the night where a creature attacks Glen

5. Mark and Ellen comments on how long mark has been missing and head back to the trailer. The creature attacks the trailer, Mark and Ellen freak out.

6. Mark tries to start the car but faces the creature instead. Creature smashes through the window.

7. Ellen grabs a knife and stab’s the creature’s hands. She keeps the knife in her hands.

8. Mark is wounded badly, they try to run out but the creature is close on their trail. He realizes he can’t go on anymore and begs Ellen to leave him there.

9. Ellen attempts to flee out of the forest by herself. She’s getting tired. She realizes the only way out is by running back to the truck.

10. The creature smells her scent and runs for her

11. Ellen is sees the mangled corpse of Glen and tries to stifle her shocked reaction since the creature is near by. She has to navigate quietly but injures her foot.

12. She makes a last run for the truck and gets in only to realize the keys are missing, Mark was holding it last.

13. She runs back to mark’s body but the creature is there. She hides from view until it nears and stabs it in the chest with the knife.

14. This buys her enough time to grab the keys but she is injured and the creature isn’t far behind.

15. She gets in the car but the creature attacks the door, teeth and claws snarling. She guns it and drives off into the night crying to herself.

I know, this falls into the horror convention of lone woman against the evil monster, but hey, I'm a beginner so let me follow the rules before I break them huh?
