FADE IN:

INT. SMALL APARTMENT - NIGHT

A cluttered desk. Coffee mug. Half-crumpled notes.

JOHN (40s) opens a blank document. The cursor blinks. Outside, the world demands attention. In here...

...there is nothing but the page.

He exhales, cracks his knuckles, and starts typing.

JOHN

Let's do this

He begins to type. The words come slowly, then all at once. Like a faucet turned on full blast, the story just pours out.

JOHN (CONT'D)

(muttering, surprised)

Okay… yeah. This is actually working.

He keeps going. The cursor never stops moving.

The page is no longer blank. It is full of possibility.

FADE TO:

The page is waiting.

No sign-up. No tutorial. No friction. Just open it and start writing.
