Too brief. I think you need to greatly expand on this story to achieve the emotional impact I think you want. We, obviously, know from the very first page what she's holding. I'm assuming you  intended for that to be a clever metaphor/surprise but it felt too... obvious. Too predictable. The script went in one ear and out the other. The characters are all in this too briefly for me to care at all about what's going on. I think if you lengthen it and expand on the emotional core of the script, you'll have a better story but as it stands, it's pretty forgettable. Some formatting errors aside, I didn't really like it.

Keep at it.

Best,

G
