Location: Outside (EXT) – Eliza Family Park
Characters: Emily (45)
Set the Scene: The park, recently donated by a wealthy family, is an oasis of greenery and serene paths. Emily, an avid runner, enjoys her morning jog through the park, unaware of the secrets hidden beneath its surface.
Prompt: As Emily jogs along her usual route, she stumbles upon an old, hidden passageway partially covered by overgrown vines. Inside are clues that hint at a dark history tied to the park's benefactors. Write a scene that captures Emily's discovery and her decision on what to do next. What does she find, and how does it change her view of the seemingly perfect park?
