I was told by a friend that I should post my Firefly fic here. I hope some folks enjoy. It takes place not long after the events of "Serenity" (the movie), and is in Screenplay format. Any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.<br /><br />Rating - Everyone<br />Category - Action/Adventure<br /><br />Disclaimer - It all belongs to Joss Whedon. No infringement intended. Just doing this for fun.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />INT. RUN-DOWN COTTAGE<br /><br />Pan around what appears to be the central room of a well-kept but fairly poor cottage. In one corner stands a hand-made Wing Chun wooden dummy. A few feet away hangs a well-worn, patched-up heavy bag. On a window sill rest several Bonzai trees of various dimensions. We see a kitchen in one corner with centuries-old appliances.<br /><br />A faint clicking sound can be heard, rhythm-less in nature.<br /><br />CU of clean, calloused hands, one holding a pair of precise clippers, the other caressing a meticulously shaped Bonzai tree. The clippers move carefully, snipping off a minute portion of the tree.<br /><br />CU of Bonzai tree, slow clockwise pan. The tree is perfect in its imperfection.<br /><br />CU of Right Ear, head tilts a fraction. We hear the slightest of noises in the otherwise silent home. A hint of a rumble.<br /><br />CU of Hands. The clippers are carefully laid down and the Bonzai tree is carried like a new-born child to the sill. A nearby spray bottle is picked up and the trees are lightly misted.<br /><br />EXT. RUN-DOWN COTTAGE<br /><br />CU lower third of door to same house. It opens and a pair of worn-out soft leather boots step out. The door closes softly and the boots exit to left of frame.<br /><br />OVERHEAD VIEW of small town. Run-down cottage rests on the outskirts, separated by over 100 feet.<br /><br />The man is visible, though his face is too far away to focus on.<br /><br />CU of boots as they start to run away from town.<br /><br />Man's POV angle up to see slight silhouette of ship breaking clouds.<br /><br />Serenity's atmo thrusters shift position to slow its descent. Landing area is still miles away.<br /><br />Man's body runs directly away from us, toward a hilly horizon where Serenity will apparently land.
