Story Brief

The story is cast in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. The cause of this apocalypse is bio-weaponry, where a deadly virus has wiped out 90 percent of the entire human population. This story, does not, however, focus heavily on the cause or the reason for this outbreak, but rather on the experience of one woman and those she encounters on her journey for survival.

Over the course of this story, the main character is put under the stresses of survival, and must make decisions that may or may not be morally sound. The audience will also see the effects of the struggle for survival, whether it'd be paranoia, hopelessness, etc.

The Addams' Family Screenplay

Addams' Family Screenplay

EXT. JUST OUTSIDE THE ADDAMS' GROUNDS - SAME TIME
14
TULLY ALFORD, the family attorney, and his wife, MARGARET, approach "GATE," a wrought-iron monstrosity that opens of its own accord. Though Tully comes here often and Margaret has been here before, they never cease to be startled by "Gate."
Tully has a puffy, once handsome face, and an embittered grey aura that is the mark of a middle-age misspent. High-strung and superficial, Margaret is more disappointed in Tully than he is in himself.
Margaret passes through Gate first. Then, as Tully passes through, Gate slams on him, clipping him and catching the end of his coat. Tully fights Gate for his coat.
TULLY
Let me go! Ignoring Tully, Margaret continues stiffly up the walk.
TULLY (to Gate)
Gimme that! Stop it! I'm warning you! It's not a good day!
