C.A - you're formatting is not correct for a screenplay. It reads more like a novel.

My suggestion is to research how to properly format a script then re-post, otherwise no one will read your work.

Best of luck!

This looks like it should really be a book, the contents page, everything.
Maybe it should be a novel instead.

Thanks for the feedback.
  I was in a writers group class, and I used the format dictated by the group.  They instructed me to turn my manga/comic into a screenplay, in preparation for an animated movie, giving me several actual screenplay examples which I followed to a T.  
   Next the screenplay script was thoroughly scrutinized by the group, edited thoroughly and finally approved. Very interesting how the opinions on script format vary (perhaps by regions of the world and by era).  A good lesson for me.  

All points well taken!  I'll get back to work on the story.
