RedRum


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Raj lies on his bed having a loud conversation through his Xperia Ultra Slim mobile. The light from the bed lamp shows us his frustrated expression. The room is disorganized, wall filled with random posters, a rum bottle which is four-fifths empty on his bedside. 

                                                                 RAJ

Don’t irritate me. You are worse than a mosquito. If you believe whatever that Deepika says, GTFOML. 


Raj switches off his mobile and throws it on the bed. He picks up the rum bottle and drinks all of it in a gulp. He closes his eyes for the greatest future ahead.


EXT. THE BEDROOM WINDOW - NIGHT

Three mosquitoes MACHO, PHANTOM and RED DRUM flying in the air discussing.

                                                                 MACHO

Yesterday my 5th boy friend died

                                                               PHANTOM

Ohh. Thats good for you. You could brake the record. Only 7 more left.

                                                                  MACHO

Sometimes you feel sad that you forget with whom you have your first kiss.

                                                               RED DRUM

I too feel like quitting on my first boyfriend.

                                                                PHANTOM

                                                                    Wait.

                                               (sniffs, turning towards Red Drum)

                                                          PHANTOM (CONT’D)

Did you drink the alcohol? Young fella.

(Phantom sniffs and makes a aahaa sound)

                                                               RED DRUM

No. Im only 17 days. Should wait for one more day.

                                                              PHANTOM

Do you think all your elders have followed these rules? Come on


Macho and Phantom nod to each other and starts flying from there. Red Drum follows them.


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

Macho and Phantom are only 3 millimeters ahead of Red Drum. Her fast moving wings are incomparable to her fat belly and boobs. Macho and Phantom start sucking the blood with their straws. Red Drum lands on Raj’s cheek, she knows the spot of a handsome guy. She starts sucking .... 

FADE OUT. THUMP.....THUMP


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

We see neither Macho nor Phantom nor Red Drum on Raj but a Mosquito wing flying near to his nose. Red Drum falls on the bed in front of Raj’s face. Raj blows it away. Uffff. Red Drum falls on the floor next to the rum bottle. She closes her eyes.


INT. HOSPITAL - NIGHT

WHITE STICK is watching the Red Drum. Tears are running in his eyes. He has not noticed the Doctor’s arrival. Doctor makes him sit on a chair.

                                                            DOCTOR

Stick, She is out of danger. Don’t need to worry much. She needs 4 hours to get her wing back.

                                                         WHITE STICK

Doc, Can I talk to her?

                                                           DOCTOR

Yes, yes. She is all yours young man.


Doctor leaves the room. Stick sits next to Drum and takes one of her hands into his. Drum opens her eyes and heartbreaks by seeing her boyfriend.

                                                     RED DRUM

I have committed all mistakes. If mother knows about me...

                               (Stick puts his hand on her lips)

                                                     WHITE STICK

Dont talk now. You need only 4 hours to receive your 18th day gift. Now sleep.


White stick kisses her and leaves the spot. Red Drum cries even more. She closes her face in a shame. 


INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR - NIGHT

White Stick takes his phone and makes a call.

                                                         WHITE STICK

Hello SKINNY. What’s up!


EXT. ON THE FROG’S HEAD - NIGHT

A skinny mosquito sitting on a frog’s head picks up the call.

                                                           SKINNY

What’s up, man! I’m chilling out.

WHITE STICK says something on the other end.

                                                            SKINNY

Ok. I’ll be there in a few hours.


SKINNY moves away from the frog’s head, picks up a piece of paper from the garbage, and puts it in her pocket. 

EXT. ON THE GARBAGE BIN - NIGHT

White Stick is standing outside. He is listening to the music that is coming out of the bin. He knocks on the door and a sexy mosquito lady opens the door.

                                                   SEXY LADY MOSQUITO

Hello Stick. Long time. Wanna come in?

                                                         WHITE STICK

I need 10 of you

                                                 SEXY LADY MOSQUITO

Ohh.. I see. What can I do for you?

                                                        WHITE STICK

It’s RED DRUM’s 18th day. We’ll present her the red rum.


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

WHITE STICK is talking to 10 other mosquitoes when SKINNY flies into the room.

                                                              SKINNY

The plan is prepared.

                                                         WHITE STICK

Everybody come closer.


They come closer and SKINNY explains the plan. We hear nothing but buzzing.

WHITE STICK makes a call.

                                                          WHITE STICK

Doc, is she ready?


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT (10 MINUTES LATER)

The 10 mosquitoes try to distract RAJ, and then RED RUM is taken by 2 mosquitoes to RAJ’s ass. WHITE STICK is watching them with a grin on his face, and checking the time. There’s only 5 seconds remaining.....

SKINNY is drinking juice from his tetrapak.


ON RAJ’S ASS - NIGHT

RED DRUM is walking towards the sucking area with a limp. She has a long suck. Everybody is shouting "REDRUM, REDRUM". WHITE STICK is getting tensed because time is running out. She finally stops and heads back. She lies on the stretcher, and the 2 mosquitoes start to take her away. But her fat belly (which is filled with a lot of red rum) makes the stretcher break, and she falls.

RAJ turns to his right. RED DRUM gets crushed under his

mobile and dies.

SKINNY throws away his tetrapak and flies away.

WHITE STICK goes to save her, but he also gets crushed and dies.


INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

RAJ wakes up, takes his mobile, and types ’SORRY’
