Death Note Scenes 1-6

Death Note is a Japanese manga by Tsugumi Ohba. I've written an adaption. The story is about an 18 year old genius named Light and he finds a Death Note on the ground. If you write a name in the Death Note you'll die in 40 seconds from a heart attack.

Scene 1

[Notebook drops to the ground. Heavy rain starts to fall followed by thunder and lightning. Adam comes walking and picks up the notebook. The notebook says "Death Note". Adam opens his front door ,proceeds in, and closes it. Adam turns on tv. Adam lays the Death Note on his desk. Adam walks a few feet away from it. He looks back at it and slowly turns around. A rumble of thunder is heard in the background. He sits down at desk and opens the Death Note]

Adam:
   The human whose name is written in this notebook shall die. This notebook will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his or her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected. If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen. What?!  [Chuckles] Wow.. this is a nice prank to pull on someone.

[Adam puts the Death Note in the draw of the desk. When Adam starts to get up he hears a noise]

Adam:
Who's there?! [Chuckles and shakes head] Damn, today I'm going crazy. First this Death Note and now this noise?

[Adam walks another few feet away from his desk, turns his head and looks at the desk. There is another rumble of thunder and a flash of lightning. Adam runs to his desk. He sits down and opens up the draw and takes out the Death Note.]

Adam
All right then you damn notebook you want me to use you?! Huh?! Well now I am going to expose that you are just a worthless piece of crap!

[Adam takes out a pen. He writes down "Steve Sommers" in the Death Note and closes it. He looks at his watch.]

Adam:
3-2-1.[Chuckles] See.. nothing happened.

[Adam gets up from desk again and hears another noise.]

Adam:
Who's there?!
 
[Adam's phone rings which jumps him. He breathes heavily.]

Adam:
Oh it's only the phone. [Picks up phone and puts it to his ear] Hello?

Adam's friend(on phone)
Adam, help! Steve's not breathing I think he had a heart attack! He held his chest and collapsed! Please come Adam please!

[Adam looks amazed at what just happened. Adam drops the phone. Adam looks at the Death Note sitting on the desk. Adam runs up to the Death Note. We hear a pumping sound. He holds his chest and collapses. Adam looks up and sees Ryuk. Adam screams and tries to get up. Adam falls and lies motionless.]

Ryuk:
Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk. Pathetic human.

[Ryuk opens up his notebook and flips pages. A page in the notebook says "Adam Madison". Ryuk closes notebook and picks up the Death Note on the desk.]

I don't think I am.

George:
Why?

I haven't seen the show, but I love Japenese horror. I see everyone calling for more action but that's not how Japenese horror works, does it? I like this, but was confused how Adam's name got in the book AFTER he had possession of it. It's sad about the boys in the club....first night out... And there was the action they were waiting for! Darn cute girls....they're always trouble, aren't they?! ; )
Good job on this... I like it!!

Good piece. I've seen the show. It is interesting. Strange, but interesting.

Wow that was interesting... I think you should add more action to it... you know? I know the original didn't have that much action in the begining but it would have been loads better if it had. Thanks for the add request man!
