A Sysnopsis of the story

Camera emulates the front of the subway as it goes forwards in a dark tunnel, it's front lights illuminate nothing but a few feet ahead. The occasional red light goes towards us, revealing the direction we're going. Then we turn to the right, and the tunnel opens up into a pitch dark, desereted station. Suddenly the lights reveal a six year old tiny girl standing on the tracks, holding her puppet. At the last second she turns her head with apathy, it has not occured to her she's about to die.

Breaks SCREEEEEECH!

Homeless's guy's head appears from the bottom of the screen, whiplashes back as he screams, "LUUUU- CY!!!! He then realizes he woke up from a dream, gatheres himself, looks prolongly at his palms, as if to make sure whatever was on them is not there anymore, regulates his breething, and, very carefully looks ahead.

"Oh. Thank God," he whispers to himself, and then, out loud, "ss.. sory for scaring you like that. But it's alright now. It's alright. Daddy loves you very much Lucy."

We can see through the window, which is located behind him, that the train had pulled into a station. Several people are waiting to board the train. While the guy talks, the camera follows the people, who all look the same, dressed the same, and move the same. They walk in a line, and like a choreographed dance, their movments are synchronized so that every of their actions resonates: They all sit, put their suitcase down and open the newspapers, burying their heads in it. "Are you OK lucy? Don't you worry, it's.. it's just a few more stops. We'll be home soon Lucy, just you and me. Like before, it'll be just like before, I promise Lucy." Camera ends it's movement by resting on a little girl, her head sloopped, holding a puppet. she doesn't move at all, except for her head, which bobbes back and forth with the train's movements, and her scrawny feet dangeling below the seat.

We cut back to the homeless guy. "What's wrong lucy, wh.. why don't you say something? Come on Lucy, you wanna play?" Then his voice breaks. "Come on Lucy p..play with me...." Gathering himself up, "Are you hungry? Are you sick, s... sick, I'm not sick, are you sick?! I'm sick, don't be sick Lucy, please don't be sick.."

"What's wrong with you Lucy why won't you move?!" He begins to panic. "Come on we'll play, we'll play a little game," he cries, "we'll play a little game..."

Then, exhausted, he leans back in dispare. "It didn't have to be like this. Things could have been so great - just like they were. Don't you remember?" He looks out the window behind him with a dreamy expression. Camera moves to show the darkness outside is slowly broken by a single spot light, which gradually reveals the father and his daughter sitting on a living-room carpet, playing with a round-circuit train-set. The train is going round and round, little puffs of smoke coming out of it's chimney. Lucy gets up and stands in the middle of the track, holding her favourite puppet. She smiles, her head follows the movements of the toy train, and she dances and spins around. Then she puts her puppet on the tracks, pretending she is in some kind of a westerner, where the villain has strapped a young lass onto the tracks, in the purpose of killing her. She saves her doll right before it gets hit by the toy-train, and jumps on her father with joy, to his surprise. The spotlight fades out as the two roll with each other on the floor, Then complete darkness again.

Two lights suddenly lit up, shooting their ominous rays straight into the camera, making it hard for us to see that they are actually eyes. The character behind these shining eyes is hard to distinquish, and as we begin to make out that it is standing in the middle of a tunnel, right on the tracks, we suddenly cut back to the homeless guy's face, as he startles and flips his head back.

"Lucy?! Oh no... no... no...." He stumbles to the opposite bench. Lucy's no longer there, only her puppet. But something is different about it. As he picks it up he notices the puppet is completely torn appart - it's rotten filling is bursting out of a huge tear in it's stomach, resembeling spilled intestins, and they explode out of a hole of what used to be its face. "no.. no... no... no.." he mumbles as he looks slowly towards the other benches. They are empty. There is no one there. The train rattles and squeeks, the monsterly green neon lights buzz and crackle. "no... no.. not again.. please not again.." The lights suddely shut off one after another, starting at a distance, then closing in on the homeless guy. They all shut off except one, its frantic spasms light the guy's andulating body like hellish disco lights as he screams, "NOT AGAIN!!" And then shuts off.

Pitch black.

Suddenly a spotlight turn on abruptly with a resonating 'clunk'. Daddy and Lucy are standing back to us in what seems to be a subway station. Daddy is holding a grocery bag on the one hand, and Lucy's hand on the other, while Lucy's holding Puppet's hand. A train goes by swiftly with lights and noise. Lucy's hair flatters with the wind, which was caused by the train's movement. Lucy sees something on the right, and she tries to breaks off from her daddy's grip, which she finds impossible. After a few tries, she gets mad and stomps on his foot, which sends him flying in the air, gripping his wounded foot, spilling the groceries. We can't hear what he says to Lucy, but it's pretty obvious from his frantic body language, and poised index finger, which excentuates his every yell. Lucy hangs her head, insulted. Daddy bends down to pick up his groceries, and the moment he looks away, Lucy is able to sneak and run away - the spot light follows her all along, leaving daddy in the dark, still picking the apples and bread and putting it back into the bag. Lucy is now running away, stopping and turning around after a while, looking back to make sure she's really free. She dances with joy, spinning around with her puppet, until suddenly she trips and drops the puppet onto the track. She looks down, and then quickly up again as a train horn is heard.

Again the camera is the front of the train. The scene from the begining is repeating itself, only it is broken at times to reveal the same mysterious character from before, with his front-light-eyes, still undistinquishable in the darkness of the tunnel. When the train hits the curve and pulls into the station, we cut to a shot of the tunnel, as seen from the station. We hear the train horn as the two lights come closer and closer to the openning. Then a monster leaps out of the dark tunnel: it is a hybrid of the homeless guy and the train. His metalic face is contorted with unlimate pain and disbelief, as he races through the station, the trainhorns coming out of his mouth still have a trace of a human scream. As we watch from his point of view, his daughter's apathetic expression changes breifly into slight surprise, as she falls beneath us. Right before we pull into the tunnel on the other side, we look at our train hands, which have tiny spurts of blood on them. Then darkness once more.

"LUUUUUUU- CEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" He screams as the camera pulls out of his mouth. Then he gathers himslef, checks his hands, and regulates his breathing. "Thank god you're still here..."

"Daddy loves you very much."

Then the train pulls away from us, and after a few seconds dissappears in the tunnel, some old newspapers flutter.

Fade to black.
