A WINDOWPANE
Assaulted from without by SNOWFLAKES. Wind tossed.INSIDE, a bed, dappled with moon shadow. A LITTLE GIRL, fast
asleep. The wind whistles and sighs outside. She DREAMS...
Eyelids closed, eyes roving beneath... then suddenly they
SNAP open. A stifled cry. She thrashes for her STUFFED BEAR,
as a soft voice says:VOICE
Shhhhh.And there's MOM, kneeling beside her. Vague shape in the
dimness. The full moon throws light across one sparkling
eye.LITTLE GIRL
Mommy, the men on the mountain...!MOM
