EXT. PARK-MORRIS BUILDING ROOFTOP - NIGHT
CHARACTERS:
THE PROTAGONIST (holding a gun)
[Subtitle: The Protagonist, Insomniac]
TYLER DURDEN (standing behind The Protagonist)
[Subtitle: Tyler Durden, Soap Manufacturer]
The wind howls as The Protagonist teeters on the edge of the rooftop, the cold metal of the gun pressed against his lips. Tyler Durden stands behind him, eyes wild with fervor.
TYLER DURDEN
(patting The Protagonist’s shoulder)
Come on, feel it. Feel that ultimate freedom.
THE PROTAGONIST
(voice trembling)
Tyler, I don’t know… I can’t…
TYLER DURDEN
(leaning close, whispering)
Don’t fear the void, my friend. Embrace it. We will be legends. Our names will be remembered forever.
THE PROTAGONIST
(closing his eyes, gun barrel against his teeth)
My life… is meaningless.
TYLER DURDEN
(laughing heartily)
That’s right! We’re just dust in history, unless… we choose to leave our mark.
The Protagonist's finger trembles on the trigger.
TYLER DURDEN
(urgently)
Pull the trigger, prove you existed!
The Protagonist hesitates, sweat dripping from his forehead. The distant city lights twinkle, as if mocking his fear.
