SHOEMAKER LIVING ROOM

Three GIRLS are laughing, gathered around a table with candles. The candlelight is the only light.

GIRL 1
Okay, your turn, truth or dare?

LILY
Truth.

GIRL 1
Do you want to make out with Benji Swartz?

GIRL 2 laughs.

LILY
Dare.

GIRL 1
Okay, lame. You have to...say "Bloody Mary" in the bathroom.

LILY
Is that the best you can come up with?

GIRL 2
Who's Bloody Mary?

GIRL 1
She's this witch.

LILY
I heard she was a lady killed in a car crash.

GIRL 1
It doesn't matter who she is. Point is, if you say her name three times in the bathroom mirror she appears...and scratches your eyes out!

LILY and GIRL 2 jump.

GIRL 2
So why would anyone say it?

LILY
Because it isn't real.

LILY gets up, and GIRL 1 hands her a candle.

GIRL 1
No turning on the lights, and remember...three times.

BATHROOM

LILY opens the bathroom door. She looks at the shadows on the wall, then closes the door and puts the candle down in front of the mirror.

LILY
Bloody Mary. This is so stupid. Bloody Mary.

The candle flickers. LILY looks at it. A long pause.

LILY
Bloody Mary.

A pause. A loud noise. LILY shrieks. Pounding on the door.

HALLWAY

LILY opens the door to find GIRLS 1 and 2, laughing.

GIRL 1
Scared ya.

LILY
You guys are jerks.

STEVEN
Lily.

LILY looks up to the top of the stairs, where she sees her father, STEVEN SHOEMAKER.

STEVEN
Do you mind keeping it down?

LILY
Sorry, Daddy.

GIRLS 1 & 2
Sorry, Mr. Shoemaker.

STEVEN heads upstairs. He passes several mirrors; each has BLOODY MARY.

UPSTAIRS BATHROOM

STEVEN takes some pills out of the bathroom medicine cabinet and closes the cabinet, revealing another mirror. He pops the pills in his mouth, then looks closer at the mirror, noticing some scratches under his eye.

LIVING ROOM

LILY and both GIRLS are giggling together.

GIRL 2
You so like him!

DONNA, LILY's older sister, comes in the front door.

DONNA
Hey, geek. You guys having fun?

LILY
You're out past curfew.

DONNA
Thanks, Dad.

DONNA goes upstairs.

UPSTAIRS HALLWAY

A pool of blood coming out from under the bathroom door. DONNA rounds the corner and sees it, stops, then starts forward more slowly. She hesitantly pushes open the bathroom door, revealing a great deal more blood. DONNA screams.
