SCENE 1
INT. A CABIN IN THE FOREST — DAY
Interior plainly decorated, with no walls to separate the living room from the study room or main bedroom. Sunlight shines into the cabin through the window.
GRANDMA, an elderly female with not a lot of wrinkles, sitting with a relaxed posture on a chair by the dinner table, fiddling around a ball she is holding.
(The sound of a door opening came in from the right side, outside the stage.)
Following the sound, A young boy (MANSON), wearing a red shirt and a red cloak tied over his shoulder, holding on to a basket with his right hand and swinging it back and forth as he almost half skipping, entered from outside the cabin.

SCENE 3
EXT./INT. THE FOREST/THE CANDY HOUSE — NIGHT
563Please respect copyright.PENANADq3xtI8qOt
(Same lighting.)
A house made out of candy is seen in the far back, GRANDMA standing on the far front, on the right.
GRANDMA, standing, with one hand holding on to the red cloak, lifted her hands and lightly cleaned the bloody knife and herself. Turned toward the direction of her candy house, dragging the red cloak by her side, and walked toward it.
(As GRANDMA is walking toward the candy house, the background switches to the interior of the candy house. Lighting mixed with the color of fire from the fireplace, emitting a sense of coziness.)
GRANDMA changes body direction to face the left, made a motion of opening the door and entered the candy house. Walked in and walked up to a wall on the far left, pulled the cloth in front of her, and hung it onto the wall.
GRANDMA turned around, facing the audience, smiled lightly, and laughs mischievously.
