Hi Rob, I'll comment as I go. Take what you want...
Love the logline, made me want to read this....
Love the description of her attire and the headphones and that it is stuck to her.
Cellphone burning her hand, very cool.
Aidan trying to help, offers to dress like her. I like him he's sweet shows how much he loves her.
Okay now he's getting pissed and we get to see some 'body horror'.. nice..
"BAILEY
What happened to me?
A wince of pain.
BAILEY
Tell me. Where did I go?
Her head drops.
BAILEY
Where's the real me?"
This dialogue threw me off, for me it doesn't feel organic that she would ask where's the real me? She is still there, she is just dressed differently..... it could be condensed to just a 'what's happening?".
I would put this under sci fi/horror. (It did seem like a comedy horror at first)
Okay she is herself in the future but is stuck wearing 80's attire, and she is herself in the past. So where is the 80's (inside/personality)version of her? Would be extra plot to show where the 80's version of her is? So we see that she is caught up in some very strange time travel with a twist that you are stuck with what you are wearing..
Now that she's back in time the scene needs symmetry with the first scene. As mentioned, she needs to be in her wedding dress. Need to show that she can't take off the clothes she is wearing. maybe she can't let go of her phone, (yes once you've fixed that she is holding her phone when she goes back in time).
'How did she get here? Where has her real world gone?
No answers'
You don't need these questions..Just SHOW us she is stuck there.
This is a fun story, I like the twist that the clothes don't come off. An original take on time travel...nice
