“Lost” by Christopher Donahue

EXT. - ISLAND - DAY

A plane crashes into the sand. There are a lot of big bangs and a lot of smoke. HURLEY, a big curly haired guy, emerges from the plane. He looks confused. SAWYER then emerges from the plane. He is a guy too. His hair is less curly and he is smaller than Hurley.

HURLEY: Sawyer, what happened?

SAWYER: I don’t know Hurley. The last thing I remember we…

A loud scream is heard from the woods and some other noises, like a growl or something.

SAWYER: What was that?

HURLEY: I can’t believe how LOST we are!

All of a sudden a big smokey black monster thing appears beyond the woods.

BIG SMOKEY BLACK MONSTER THING: Bleh, bleh, bleh. I am the BIG SMOKEY BLACK MONSTER THING!

HURLEY: Zoinks!

SAWYER: Hurley, quick. RUN!

Sawyer begins to run away and Hurley follows slowly behind.

They end up in a cave.

HURLEY: Sawyer, I’m scared. What’re we gonna do.

SAWYER: Well Hurley, I guess we’ll just have: to get found.
