Embers Page #2

Synopsis: In a dystopian future, an unidentified virus of some kind has caused a neurological disease of global proportions and has infected the majority of the Earth's population. As we observe the lives of several people who still remain relatively unharmed by this illness, we understand their struggle to hopelessly attach to their former way of life, where even the simplest things, require great effort to be accomplished.

I can feel it.

What if there's

no place better?

I mean,

this is good. It's...

-It's safe.

-You don't...

You don't know that.

How come there's

no one else here?

I mean, there's food.

We're together.

Yeah, but there's not much.

Look, it won't last us long.

If we don't find some

place better, we'd come back.

-Okay?

-I don't know.

We found this

apartment again.

We'll remember.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Mmm-hmm.

-Trust me.

-Here, hold it.

-Yeah.

Yeah.

Doesn't matter.

The longer it takes

the more time it feels.

I don't wanna be

a piece in your museum.

I don't have

anything to tell you.

I don't have anything

new to tell you.

I wish.

Do you like this?

You wanna play with it?

I have so much more

wonderful stuff inside.

Come on!

Come on,

this is my house.

You're gonna like it here.

I've always been here.

Ooh, this is mine.

And this is mine.

I was a queen.

You're gonna like it here.

Nothing bad has ever

happened to me.

You like it?

Come on!

Oh, there you go.

There you go.

Here.

Like this.

Would you like me

to tell you a story?

Once upon a time,

there was a kingdom

filled with people.

And one day,

all the people disappeared.

Except for one girl.

She searched everywhere

for the rest of the people.

She looked high and low

and in between...

And then,

she found the people

waiting for her in a house.

And everyone

was so happy.

They had a party.

And it was also

her birthday.

And everything was good

from then on.

The end.

It's nice.

- Oh yeah?

-Yeah.

Oh!

Are you coming?

Now you are coming.

Wow!

Come, it's amazing!

That was really fun!

Next song.

Next song.

Next song.

Computer, stop.

Play it back.

Who built this?

- It's beautiful.

It makes me

feel safe.

I think...

I think we've been

here before.

Maybe you're right.

It makes me feel

big inside.

The light is all different

colors in here.

--It's magic.

Oh look, it's blue.

What is that?

I don't know.

What?

Do you remember ever

going to sleep before?

No.

No one remembers

anything while they're asleep.

I know. But I mean

do you remember

going to sleep?

Do you remember

where we slept last night?

No.

Do you remember where

we slept the night before?

No. I don't know.

I don't know.

But I know that

we slept somewhere.

If we don't ever--

if we don't ever

remember going to sleep,

if we go to sleep

now, then...

We won't remember

anything when we wake up.

It'll be like we're awake

for the first time.

Yeah, and we won't...

...remember each other.

We can't ever go to sleep.

Okay, okay.

All right.

-We'll just stay up together.

-Yeah.

-And never leave here.

-Hmm-mm.

Okay.

-Stay awake with me.

-We're not gonna forget.
