(camera fades in in black and white on a whithering tree. bartlet pear tree if it helps your imagination. all the camera picks up is a solid black tree, backlit, so all you can see is the outline. then as the sun rises over the hill in the background, the foreground becomes slightly more apparent. A little girl sit huddled up under the tree, avoiding the morning light. She opens her mouth, but no words escape, at first.
After a few more attempts, she spews fourth the word "help" out of her mouth, solid, as in an object solid, and it falls to the ground. as soon as the sun touches it it begins to burn vivid orange on the black and white background. She tries again to say something, struggling, but nothing is coming out. Finally as the sun still rises, "Please" pops out of her mouth ... falls to the ground and then "help" follows suit. As the sun hits the series of letters, it starts to smolder and then explodes, making the girl jump in shock, and just catches ablaze in lucious blues and lucious reds and oranges. One of the dying, wilted branches of the tree starts to catch fire. The sun rises a bit faster.
As the light bends around the tree it slowly caresses the top of her foot. She recoils as if she'd been shocked, but slowly starts to catch fire. The look on her face turns from despair into acknowledgement and even acceptance. More a grim understanding than a bleak comprimise. "I" falls slowly out of her mouth onto a stump-like root of the tree and then "tried" comes next. They are slowly absorbed into the trees roots and fruit starts to bear on the tree except for where it's burning. The fire spreads further up the tree and further up the girl. Color begins to come to the girls face ... a raggedy anne type of red to her cheeks almost as if she's ashamed of what's happening. "I Really Did" in one solid long line falls like a brick from her mouth and shatters on the gnarled root. It melts in the light slowly and the fruit bulges as if it were to burst and turn a lucious yellow-green, as if ripened almost instantaneously.
She looks away from the light and her ear is gone. In fact it looks like there was never and ear, or even a canal for hearing. Just solid head. Her legs burst into flame and sparks jump up onto the tree and it goes up like tinder. The sun is up almost to the top of the screen and fire has engulfed half of the tree and half of the girl. She stands slowly and bends around to hide directly behind the trees branches. As she stands slowly, she has two sets of knees that become apparent like a deformed doll. "Please" falls out of her mouth again and explodes like a firecracker even before it hits the ground and takes out one of her junctions of legs. As she falls "Never Forget" comes out of her mouth and flies upward like a bird. And as the girl falls in slow motion into the light she catches on fire as does the tree and the camera pans up from this explosive destruction in slow motion and follows the bird like splendor of the words "Never Forget" up into the sky further and further until it is a black speck amongst other black speck-like birds or objects in the white sky. Slowly the pictures colors become inverted and the white sky becomes the black night, and the black specks become the white stars. We pan back down to the tree and rising from the hill behind is the moon, bright and lucious. It illuminates the shape of a whithered tree in the shape it was at the beginning. As the moon rises slowly, 2 glowing eyes open slowly and stare into the camera, then close even slower as if to drift into slumber. Fade out)
