Group. Treatment

Treatment
Our story begins with a young homeless male protagonist seeking shelter ahead of a cold winters night. As the day comes to an end, the stock character searches for refuge, eventually coming across a gate off the side of the road. As the boy approaches the gate he notices what appears to be an abandoned plot of land, ideal for a nights sleep uninterrupted from an interfering member of the public or policeman questioning his motives for sleeping rough. The young boy breaks into the area, and begins to scout the woodland he has discovered, eventually coming across a caravan. As the temperature rapidly drops, he optimistically attempts to open the door, in the hope of the broken motor home being his chosen destination for rest. To his luck, the rusty door creeks open and the boy enters. He searchers the caravan,  in order to find a possibility of food or any objects that will aid him in a better nights sleep. The stock protagonist rummages through cupboards and behind doors. However only peculiar objects are found, including a scrapbook, with clippings of suspicious deaths. The sinister items he finds spooks the character as he begins to contemplate whether he is alone in the secluded  woodland he has entered. The sounds of the howling winds finalises his decision to stay in the chilling refuge, rather then face the freezing darkness outside. The boy decides to attempt to get some sleep. As he is about to drift off, he is awoken by the door creek open. Alarmed by the eerie sound, he cautiously arises and nervously reaches out to shut the door, trying to reassure himself that the opening was simply due to the wind. A sinister young child's laugh is then heard, and a subtle hint of a small mysterious figure is seen out the window,  yet undiscovered by the stock character being tormented. The boy becomes increasingly aware that he is not alone in the plot of land he has trespassed into, and takes the horrifying past few events as a signal that it is time to leave. As he anxiously gathers enough courage to escape the caravan and land, a sudden bang is heard on the side of the caravan,clearly caused by a hand hitting the metal. The mysterious figure is then seen briefly again, in the window behind the protagonist. The boy finally charges out of the door making his way to the exit of which he entered the premises. However before he makes it, the boy is attacked by the young mysterious ghostly figure. The attack is quick and subtle to the audience, however loud and distressing. The next scene includes numerous reports of the aftermath from the supernatural attack, explaining that the sinister death of the young homeless boy has not been the only victim subjected to these attacks, and it is suggested that the ghostly figure is likely to strike again.
