D: What’s wrong?
J: Dared.
D: What are you scared of?
J: Dared bear.
D: You don’t need to be scared of bears. We don’t have any bears in this country anyway. Only in zoos.
J: [Pointing towards back garden] Bear out there?
D: No. There aren’t any bears out there.
J: [Thinks for a second] Wolf out there?
D: There are no wolves out there either. We don’t have them in this country either. Only in zoos.
J: [Looks with concern in direction of back garden. Nods] Wolf out there.
This is a perfect opening to a horror movie. It would have been even better if you had looked to the back garden and seen a grey blur just running out. Then, you could hit the audience with some pathetic fallacy (distant howl and a cloud over the moon). Actually, did this even happen at night?
