Run Forest Run

EXT. FOREST FLOOR - MORNING - DREAM (2037)

TOM'S POV--WHOOSH. Trees BLUR by, branches SMACK him as he and some of the other children run. They leap over a large drop off and over a serpentine creek revealing more of them and the height of their jump. They land and come into a clearing approaching a MERCENARY who points them into a safe direction.

MERCENARY 1

Head east, follow the creek, towards the cities. Don't stop.

TOM maintains focus on the Mercenary as a shadow briefly blocks out the sun above. The mercenary looks up. The silhouette of a stealth chopper can be seen over the treetops in the distance. Suddenly, a large force crushes the mercenary. Body parts and dirt explode. TOM falls back from the impact. A severed arm lands near him. He sees the large mass stand up from the bloody crater.
