| Draft date: 2026-05-13 | |
| Notes: | | |
| A short sample screenplay shipped with SceneMachine for parser | |
| regression testing. Two scenes, one character. Intended to exercise | |
| the fountain parser, scene splitter, character extractor, and the | |
| T2V → I2V continuity routing. | |
| INT. CABIN - NIGHT | |
| Rain hammers the roof. A WOMAN (40s, alert) reads by a single | |
| guttering candle. Shadows from the rafters move when she does not. | |
| WOMAN | |
| (quietly) | |
| It's only the storm. It's always only the storm. | |
| The candle goes out. | |
| EXT. CABIN PORCH - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS | |
| The woman steps onto the porch holding a relit candle. Wet wind | |
| flattens her hair against her face. She squints into the dark | |
| treeline. | |
| WOMAN (V.O.) | |
| Something out there has been waiting since the world was young. | |
| FADE OUT. | |
