The document summarizes scenes from a film or story. In Scene One, the main character Skylar wakes up alone in the woods covered in dirt and blood. In Scene Two, set 12 hours earlier, five young adults named Faith, Aneris, Joseph, Eric and Sophie sit around a campfire. Eric suggests they play a game to find five flags with riddles. Joseph reads the first riddle whose answer is a tree by a river. Despite Sophie's objections, they agree to play the game.
2. Scene One: Skylar
Scene opens up on Skylar’s closed eyes. She is covered in dirt and a
little bit of blood. Her eyes open and she slowly stands up and
looks around her. The sound of some running and gasping is heard. A
branch snapping brings her back and she looks around in fear.
Skylar
Who’s there?

Scene Two: The Campfire
Scene one cuts into scene two where the dialogue ironically
continues. A group of five young adults are seen sitting in a circle
around a fire. The title ’12 hours ago’ dissolves on screen.
