INT. CASTLE DRACULA - GUEST ROOM - DAWN

Grey light. A small shaving mirror hangs from the window latch. JONATHAN HARKER (20s) lathers his jaw and lifts the razor.

A hand settles on his shoulder.

THE COUNT (O.S.)

Good morning.

Harker starts. The razor nicks his chin. He looks into the glass for the man behind him.

The bed. The door. The whole room over his shoulder. And no one standing behind him.

He turns. THE COUNT (70s), tall, white-moustached, stands close enough to touch. His eyes go to the bead of blood on Harker’s chin.

THE COUNT

Take care how you cut yourself. It is more dangerous than you think in this country.

He lifts the mirror from the latch and drops it out of the window. A long moment later, it breaks on the stones below.

Scene plan Before a word is written, the scene’s purpose is agreed. By you.

Scene plan

The empty glass

Enters: Jonathan has been the Count’s guest for three nights and has never once seen him eat.
Moves: A greeting from behind. A slip of the razor. A glance into the glass.
Pressure peaks: The Count sees the blood on his chin and steps closer.
Leaves: The mirror lies broken in the courtyard. Jonathan knows his host casts no reflection.

Characters What the story knows about them, and what is still only a possibility.

Jonathan Harker

Characters

Wants: To close the sale and get home to Mina.
Fears: That he is a prisoner, and that saying so makes it true.
Contradiction: Writes down everything he sees. Acts as if he has seen nothing.

He pretends he saw nothing.

A possibility

Story Space Where it began: your own words, kept with the night you said them.

Your words, 22 October, 2.07 am

“What if Jonathan sees it and just keeps shaving? He’s a guest, he’s English, he’s polite. The politeness is what keeps him alive. That’s the horror of it.”
