My Thriller Opening

My opening will start with a woman returning home from work. When she enters her house, she will go about her normal routine e.g  turning on the lights and making her self a tea. She will then sit down in another room and receive a text message which will result in her looking at her phone she will then place it on the sofa "screen up" and go into the kitchen When she goes into the kitchen, she will take some pills from the cupboard but before she takes them she will hear a noise coming from the room that she was previously in therefore she will go to the other room to see her phone "screen down". This will lead our character to believe that somebody is in her house, which we will see by her facial expression. The character will then hear a noise coming from upstairs and will slowly make her way up the stairs. The upstairs part of the will be very dark


Character: Women in her mid twenties, works in an office and lives with her friend who will be out for the night.
