SUSPENSE STORY 

A group of NSA personnel watch Maria on double monitors as she has a conversation on her headset. Her kitchen is dark, so she turns the light on and begins to prepare her dinner. She takes her meal and sits on the kitchen table. While Maria is eating, she hears a scratching coming from her window. She turns her head and notices the branches scratching at the glass. She walks over and slams it shut. From across the street someone has surveillance on Maria’s apartment and is tracking her as she walks into her bedroom.  Maria looks at her bed, sits on the edge extends her arms, closes her eyes, and falls back on her soft, cushioned bed.  Her eyes are heavy when she opens them to find someone sitting next to her, and another is standing next to the window. She tries to communicate, even scream, but the figures just look at her then look at each other. In pure terror Maria closes her eyes. The group of NSA members watch Maria wakes up with and has no idea what happened.

FIRST PROJECT 

DAY IN THE PARK 

It’s sunny over Maddison Square Park. Lush trees and glistening buildings with traffic crossing in every direction at every edge of the park. Maria has long hair in a pony tail and a knee length skirt. She walks over to a bench with a man reading. She reaches the bench and stands at the edge. Her phone rings and she picks up, happy to hear from her friend. She stands there while over looking joyfully and with much curiosity the traffic that hurries in front of her under the reflective artwork. The person on the other line begins to tell Maria news. While she’s listening, she watches a mother and baby, a cat walker, a jogger all moving in different directions.  She spots a couple fighting and is so hypnotized that she can only focus on them. All she she hears is “Selfish”.  Maria’s face softens and saddens as the conversation takes a low turn. Maria stands there reflecting on her conversation.

 Watching

Maria has a conversation in the kitchen while preparing her food. She takes her meal and sits on the kitchen table and starts to read her book. Looking at the time, Maria moves to the sink and washes her dishes. The heavy draft from the window has reached her, so she walks over and slams it shut. She stares out at the lit city and wonders if anyone is watching back. Something catches her attention and she walks back into her brightly lit room, then looks at her bed. She turns off the lights, sits on the edge extends her arms, closes her eyes, and falls back on her soft, cushioned bed.

Her eyes are heavy when she opens them to find someone sitting next to her, and another is standing next to the window. The figures are casted in shadows and unrecognizable. She tries to communicate, even scream, but the figures just look at her then look at each other. Maria closes  her eyes out of fear then is awaken  by the morning heat bathing her. She looks out the sun drenched window and the city stares back at her.

It’s sunny over Maddison Square Park. Lush trees and glistening buildings with traffic crossing in every direction at every edge of the park. A young girl with long hair and a knee length skirt over looks joyfully and with much curiosity the traffic that hurries in front of her under the reflective artwork at the park.  A mother and baby, a cat walker, a jogger all moving in different directions.  She spots a couple fighting and is so hypnotized that she can only focus on them. She jumps up with fright when she feels someone tap her shoulder. She suddenly realizes it’s her girlfriend and quickly relaxes and embraces her.

Day in the park- Project 1

It’s sunny over Maddison Square Park. Lush trees and glistening buildings with traffic crossing in every direction at every edge of the park. A young pigeon is walking jolly above the art work made out of mirrors. The pigeon looks through the jagged openings and watches the traffic down bellow. A mother and baby, a cat walker, a jogger all moving in different directions. The Pigeon moves around the different openings in the artwork but then falls through as he’s not paying attention. He lands head first and disoriented next to a group of older pigeons. The older  pigeons laugh and walk away while he lays there.
