The primary purpose of the SimplyScripts Discussion Board is the discussion of unproduced screenplays. If you are a producer or director lookng for your next project, the works here are available for option, purchase or production only if you receive permission from the author.

The story is that there are two brothers. The younger one shows signs of being a psychopath but every time he does, the older brother tells him to never do that. Sheltering him so he doesn't get put away. But eventually the younger brother has the urge to kill so he murders their mother. (I know, it needs to be developed better on the script, I tried making this as short as possible)
The VO story is supposed to stand for that. Kind of like a metaphor. Master is the older brother and the "The man who only comes out at night" is the younger brother.
I walked away from it for a bit and reread it with different eyes and see how people are confused by it.
The flashbacks are to when the younger brother played with a dead pigeon for fun
I was completely going for a indie noir, I'm glad that came through. But in the ending Porter called the cops and decided to turn his brother in. What Al did is above him.
Thanks for the responses! I appreciate you guys reading my script.
I like your idea of someone looking out for their sibling even though they are a murderer. The structure was confusing but a rewrite can clear that up.
I noticed a typo on the first page. I think you meant to say “Breathes normally” on the second action block.
I liked the narrated story at the beginning. It fits in with the story well.
This feels like the beginning of a story and I think you should make it longer and see what comes out.
