This week, we’re exploring a mechanic’s mysterious discovery.
Location: Inside (INT) – A car repair shop
Characters: Sam (34), a curious mechanic
Set the Scene: The shop is cluttered with tools and car parts. The faint hum of a radio in the background. Sam is working on a Saturn sedan, a model rarely seen these days and now out of production, with its hood propped open.
Prompt: Sam, a mechanic with a knack for fixing older cars, stumbles upon an unfamiliar model of Saturn in need of repair. As he digs deeper into the engine, he discovers an unusual, hidden, and unmarked button. Write a scene that unfolds when Sam, driven by curiosity, presses the button. What mysterious function does the button serve, and how does it transform the ordinary day at the shop into an extraordinary one?
