Title: The Last Photo

[INTRO - zero:zero to zero:thirty] (Spooky ambient music, camera pans over an empty street at sunset)

Narrator (VO):

"Twilight ... when the sun hides behind the clouds, some stories only begin when darkness falls. This is the story of a photo you should never look at."

[SCENE ONE - zero:thirty to one:thirty] (Cut to Mara scrolling her phone, looking at old photos.)

Narrator (VO):

"Mara was cleaning her old photo gallery when she found a picture she didn't remember taking. In the photo, there was a house at the end of the street ... and a shadow in the window."

(Zoom in on the photo, eerie wind sound)

Narrator (VO):

"She thought it was just a joke ... but something about that shadow felt wrong. It looked like it was staring ... at her."

[SCENE TWO - one:thirty to three:zero] (Mara walking home, shaky camera, suspenseful music)

Narrator (VO): "The next day, while walking home, she noticed the house ... the same one in the photo. Dust-covered, abandoned. But one window ... held a shadow inside."

(Dramatic pause, heartbeat sound increasing)

Narrator (VO):

"She stepped closer, and someone -- or something -- tapped her shoulder. There was no one around. The shadow in the window ... seemed to move toward her."

[SCENE THREE - three:zero to four:thirty] (Close-up of Mara's phone, recording video)

Narrator (VO):

"She started recording, trying to prove to herself it was nothing. But on her phone screen ... the face of a stranger appeared, smiling, and disappeared before she could stop the recording."

(Sound effect: whispering, faint laughter)

Narrator (VO): "The face ... looked just like hers. Older. Colder. Staring right through her."

[ENDING - four:thirty to five:zero] (Camera pans to Mara's reflection in the window, shadowy figure behind her)

Narrator (VO): "Twilight ... the time when memories heavier than light come back. And sometimes ... photos aren't just photos."

(Screen goes black, echoing whisper: "Don't look at me ... ")

[OUTRO - optional CTA]
