this is the script i have written for the voice over for my film. i may change it slightly when it comes to actually recording it, depending on how it sounds.
My name is peter dodds. Six months ago, the world ended. I
don’t know how. I don’t know why. One day the world was normal. The next it was
empty. People were dying. They’d get ill at the start of the week and be dead
by the end. Watching my friends and family die had been the hardest experiences
ive ever faced. The agony they suffered through. Id wondered if killing them
would have been kinder. but what right did I have to make that decision. They
could have pulled through for all I knew. But they didn’t. Before the broadcasts stopped, I heard some
people were immune. But it was hard to believe. Everyone I knew was dead.
Everyone. But I'm alive. Somehow, I am alive. I was immune. it was true. So
theyre were others. i left my home shortly after that. The memories were too
painful and there was a chance of meeting survivors out that. After a week of
travelling, I was convinced I was alone in this world. life was abysmal, if you
could call it life at all. The hovels I stayed in. the things I ate. Under any
other circumstances, id never have eaten it. but when life is tough, you have
to make hard decisions. however I was wrong. Along my way I met another
survivor by the name of lewis, someone immune like me. I couldn’t believe it,
and wouldn’t of if he hadn’t been stood there. But there he was and That gave
me hope. If we had both survived, maybe there were others. My companion seemed to have trouble letting
go of the past. He told me how his friends had turned on him when he didn’t get
ill. He’d had to kill one of them before they killed him. He seemed
traumatised, though I expect that’s to be expected having killed a close
friend. He still had the gun he’d done it with. I asked him why once. Why he
kept it. the answer was always the same. “Just in case”, he would say. It
seemed odd. More dead people is the last thing this world needed. Assuming
there was anyone left to die, besides us that is. And so we wandered. And
wandered. But we never found anyone. And it was getting harder and harder to
stay alive. Food was scarce. Tins of beans will only last so long. About five
months after Armageddon, my one friend, joined the rest of the planet. I felt
suddenly empty. Id been alone before. Before id met Lewis. Struggling to
survive had been hard, but it had been made easier having him there and knowing
we were in the same boat. Now, hanging onto life felt pointless. In the end, it
didn’t matter. Once winter hit, surviving became impossible. It felt horrible,
dying cold, hungry and alone. But we all have our time. And for me, that was
it. the last man alive will be the last man to die.
