They lack inspiration so decide to write a meta screenplay about writing a screenplay, the story begins and ends the same way.

3. A story of a man who is given a superpower while messing around with his microwave. He is given the power to step back in time but only by 5 seconds. He tries to use the power for his own personal gain but quickly realises how little he can do in 5 seconds.

Story outline:

Characters

Main character: Scott
Main character's one night stand: Kaylee
The vampire: Bryan

Beginning: The story begins late at night at Scott's apartment as the pale hand of Bryan the vampire knocks on the door. Scott answers the door and both of them look each other up and down Scott wears causal clothing i.e a sweatshirt and jeans whereas Bryan wears mostly black; black trousers, black waistcoat, white shirt, black dress shoes. A timer beeps in the background and Scott runs back into the kitchen while Bryan waits at the door, Bryan denies the food Scott offers him (garlic bread) our first clue to his true identity. Scott offers Bryan a beer and holds it out waiting for Bryan to come and get it but he cannot until he is invited in (another vampire clue). Scott gives Bryan 'The Tour' and leaves Bryan to get settled into his room while he sits to watch TV. We see Bryan in his new room, he glances at the bed dismissively puts his suit cases down, Scott is still watching TV while in the background we hear lots of crashing and scraping which Scott pays no attention to, Bryan leans out the door to tell Scott that he is turning in for night and returns to his room, we see that he has moved the wardrobe in the room on to the floor to mimic a coffin        

Middle: Bryan wakes up in the stereotypical vampire fashion i.e rising from the ‘coffin’ and leaves his room to find Scott sleeping on the couch, Bryan wakes Scott and the two share breakfast and have a conversation to get to know each other the conversation takes a turn and Scott finds out that Bryan is a vampire unexpectedly Scott is not phased by the news and the two end up realising that a person from their past forms a mutual connection between the two. Scott invites Bryan out for a night at a local club where the two share some drinks and Bryan tries to lure an unsuspecting victim outside to feed, however he is unsuccessful. Scott however left early with a girl without Bryan realising. Bryan leaves the club after a montage of failed attempts goes home and sleeps defeated.

End: Upon waking up in the morning Bryan finds the house empty except for the girl that Scott bought home the night before overcome by a raging blood-lust Bryan feeds on the girl, Realising his mistake Bryan tries to hide the body from Scott. Scott returns home to notice Bryan's suspicious behaviour as he tries to make excuses as to where the girl is, Scott finds the body which leads into an argument between the two and Scott vows that the two are done but first they need to find a place to dispose of the body they share an awkward conversation as they think of a plan, Bryan suggests that Scott finds a wheelchair so they can freely move the body under the assumption that the woman in the chair is disabled. The two awkwardly wait until night fall and take the body to a nearby ditch and bury it there. After the events of that night Scott and Bryan part ways and Scott looks for a new roommate. Later that night there is a knock at Scott’s door he opens it to see the girl who he bought home after the night at the club who then slaps him and leaves.
