               EXT. FARMHOUSE - MORNING



The CAMERA follows a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL, long hair, pretty

Sunday church dress, walking toward a peaceful farmhouse. At

the door she lifts the knocker. The door opens slightly. The

girl turns and looks past the camera at her MOTHER, sitting

in an old Plymouth idling in the driveway. Her mother shrugs,

motions for her to go inside.

The girl walks through the downstairs rooms. In the kitchen,

the PHONE is OFF the hook. The girl looks back toward the

open front door. She turns toward the stairs, climbs them.
