Fade IN:
(1) EXT. ARCADIA NATIONAL PARK – DAY
An older jeep type vehicle is driving on the winding road across the mountain ridges. We follow from a distance while the credits display in the lower left. The trees are lush and there is a summer breeze.
(2) EXT. GAS STATION – LATE IN THE DAY
The jeep arrives at the gas station, and 20 year old Mike steps out. He stops, adjust his hat and heads into the store.
(3) INT. GAS STATION
As he enters the doors a bell rings. He looks around and wonders over to the cashier.
MIKE
I'm looking for Dale?
Dale
Your talking to him. You must be Mike, your Dad told me a lot about you.
Mike
Yeah. Its all lies
(Smiles)
DALE
(Laughs) Joker like your Dad I see. So what all did he tell you about this job.
Mike
Gas Station Attendant for the Night Shift.
DALE
He didn't tell you did he? Recently there have campers going missing. It seems someone or something has been kidnapping them. The police haven't been able to find anything. Johnny's the only one who ever escaped claimed it was some evil creature, but he's gone insane after what happened. They say this creature roams the woods every night looking for his next victim, and you'll be right here in the center of it.
Mike looks a little freaked out, wide eyed staring at Dale.
DALE
I'm just messing with you son, their ain't no evil creatures out there.
Mike
I see you've got jokes too
Dale
What can I say I like to keep the mood light. Now in all seriousness. There are a few things you need to know. This Road you got here (Points to Map) on spans over 60 miles through the national park. Across those 60 miles there is only one Gas Station and that's us smack dab in the middle. That's why we are open 24/7 so people don't run out of gas and get stuck. Now you heard about that big casino they are building in Pine Hill?
Mike
Yeah its going to
