EXT. CITYSCAPE – DAWN
The city is revealed from the morning dawn.
INT. ROOM – DAWN
The morning sun creeps through the blinds. Clothes are scattered throughout the room. A pair of used underwear hangs on a lamp, the light still on. The body on the bed is out cold, the remnants of an eventful night.
The clock changes to 8:00 a.m. The alarm sounds. The body begins to shift slightly; a hand comes out and tries to swat the alarm clock, but misses continually.
INT. KITCHEN – DAWN
The beeping of the alarm clock echoes through the wall. BRIAN is sitting eating a full breakfast at the kitchen table. He is wearing a dress shirt and tie, ready for the day. The alarm finally shuts off. Brian puts down his breakfast and gets up.
INT. OUTSIDE MARCUS’ DOOR – DAWN
Brian knocks on MARCUS’ door.
BRIAN
Hey Marcus, it’s time to wake up.
MARCUS
…
(Incoherent noises)
BRIAN
Marcus, I said it’s time to get up. You have class in an hour.
MARCUS
15 more minutes Mom… (Mumbles)
BRIAN
(Sigh)
Brian sits back down at the table and eats. There’s stumbling in Marcus’ room and a loud bang as he falls out of bed. He stumbles to open the door and walks into the bathroom to pee, leaving the door open. Brian looks over at the bathroom and takes a break from his meal. Marcus flushes than comes into the kitchen.
MARCUS
What a night!
BRIAN
Yeah, some Tuesday night it was.
MARCUS
I invited you to come out, but you were in your room all night!
BRIAN
I was sleeping…
MARCUS
That’s lame.
BRIAN
Yeah. I had work in the morning.
MARCUS
Oh that’s right, your new job. What are the hours?
BRIAN
I have to be there from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
MARCUS
That sucks, your whole day is pretty much wasted. Are you busting tables or something?
BRIAN
No…I’m going to be training as a security guard in the freshman dorms.
MARCUS
You look like a waiter man.
BRIAN
Heh, well I just want to make a good first impression.
MARCUS
Dressed like that, you could cater the needs of anyone.
BRIAN
(Laughs) Very funny.
BRIAN
Alright, I have to get going. Aren’t you going to get dressed?
Marcus goes over to put on his shoes.
MARCUS
Done.
Brian chuckles and leaves the apartment.

Security Training: Opening Scene (Narrator)
Read, give feedback. Sorry Wes if I blew your entry away under this one, it was not my intention. More coming soon.
EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS – DAY
College students are walking in every direction to class.
NARRATOR
In every college campus, there are those that stand out. At first glance they may appear normal, the average college student, but with a closer look they are different.
INT. CLASSROOM – MORNING
A professor is giving a lecture in front of the class. Across a row, students listen inattentively – a girl at the end of the row digs furiously into her textbook. The professor poses a question to the class. The class seems reluctant to participate; an eager hand is raised by the girl. The class turns to see who it is. She gives the correct answer with ease. The professor acknowledges her, and writes it on the dry erase board. The students turn back to the professor. (One of the students goes back to sleep)
NARRATOR
These individuals you may encounter either day or night, on the streets or in the classrooms, rain or shine. They are hard working, excelling in whatever they do.
INT. DINING HALL – DAY
A cashier takes the cash of a two guys buying food. The two guys go to a table to sit down and have lunch. One guy is playing with his food. He takes a pea off his plate and throws it in the air, then catches it with his mouth. His friend motions for him to throw him one, and he does; he catches it and stands up in celebration, then begins to choke. His friend panics and doesn’t know what to do. The cashier quickly grabs the guy choking and performs the Heimlich maneuver and he spits the pea out. In relief, his friend comes over and thanks the cashier; the guy saved thanks the cashier with an exhausted look.
NARRATOR
They are the first to act, when help is in need, they do not hesitate. They are the heroes that put other people above themselves. They are your campus Security Guards.
EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS – DAY
College students stop to see a homeless man run with a purse. A student is on his pursuit and tackles him to the ground. The homeless man drops the purse and scatters to retreat. A fearful girl approaches the scene and stops. A purse is handed to her. The guy stands tall and applause is motioned from the students nearby.
INT. LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
A cozy room is warmed by a fireplace. A man is sitting in a comfy seat.
NARRATOR
Hardworking, Responsible, Leadership. These are the characteristics that define a Security Guard. Welcome to Security Training. Those of you that are sitting here today have been chosen because you have stood out among the many.
As a Security Guard, these characteristics will help you along the way, but this is only the beginning. There are many different elements to the job, which you will learn today in this training video. Knowing procedures, conduct, and customer service will be necessary to do your job well.
Every security desk has a security manual, where you will find all there is to know about Dormitory Security. Now, I could sit here and read to you all the procedures and try to be as specific as possible, but that would only tell you what’s on paper, no other interpretation but literal facts. Though knowing is half the answer, only through experience will you get complete understanding. That is why I won’t read this to you, or show you a PowerPoint, even if I did spend all last night making it. Instead, I will tell you a story of a Guard named Brian. Brian was a new guard, much like most of you sitting here today, and through his time as a Security Guard, he had learned a great deal of the job. He was a boy with a heart of gold, eager to take on responsibilities, even when sometimes they were greater than he could handle. What do I mean by that? Well, you’ll just have to see for yourself.
It all started on his first day as a Dormitory Security Guard…

Allen's Story, pt 1.
Allen woke up with a lazy start -- he didn't have to be at work in the morning, so he let himself sleep in a bit. It helped assuage the hangover. Why am I hung over, anyways? He looked around his room to find clues as to how the night went -- button up on the floor by the door, still buttoned. Jeans at the foot of the bed. Wallet on the desk, keys in the chair, pack of cigarettes in the ash tray and cell phone... cell phone? Just then, a ringing came from under the pillow, which Allen approached to answer dutifully. The cell phone still new, so he didn't realize that the ringing was just an alarm. Nine? It's nine in the morning? He double checked with the clock just to make sure. Indeed, it was only nine. Suddenly the tale of the night had come full circle.
For most people, it only takes one alarm to wake up. For Allen, it takes three. For most people, after they've been up for 13-20 hours, sleep finds them. For Allen, wakefulness begins to show it's face. For most people, getting drunk and passing out goes hand-in-hand with waking up late. For Allen, it means waking up as soon as his body becomes sober.
Trying to make the best of his time, Allen cleans his room... not in the tidiest sense, but enough that it doesn't look particularly messy or dirty. Having lived alone for so long, he'd collected a lot of things to occupy his time... Where did this come from? Allen moved his wallet to find a poker card hiding underneath. King of spades...
