January 25 - "The First Day of School"

A KID is asleep in bed.

His alarm clock goes off.

He wakes up.

He looks at it.

He hits the top of clock.

He goes back to bed.

January 15 - "No Rest for the Wicked"

Silence. Darkness.

CLARK is in bed. He can’t sleep.

He looks at his clock.

He rolls over.

He switches sides.

A siren goes by out the window.

He rolls over again.

He looks at his clock again.

He switches sides again.

He turns the pillow over.

Footsteps and whispers in the hallway.

He looks at his clock again.

He switches sides again.

He rolls over again.

Knocking on the door. Then banging. Then, it is kicked in.

OFFICERS enter, pull CLARK out of bed.

They handcuff him.

They drag him out.

Silence. Darkness.

A living room.

MAN and WOMAN, middle aged, sit, staring at the television.

VOICES ON TELEVISION
Three...two...one...Happy New Year!

MAN

Happy New Year.

WOMAN

Happy New Year.

They kiss.

A beat. AULD LAND SYNE on the television.

MAN
(to WOMAN)
Shall we?

WOMAN
(to MAN)
Good idea.

MAN shuts the television.

They get up and go to bed.

Blackout.
