The world lies - a job post by Demian Malcher

About the job

3 friends goofing off in the afternoon the sun is still up, fall is here the leaves shine brightly in the light. There is some time spent showing the characters and them walking from different angles.  The sun starts to wane. The friends lose track of time and the ghost is introduced as a white figure far off and one character has a double take moment but thinks they are seeing things and are tired from walking. Others poke around that they are going crazy. Discussion ensues. Then it is brought up that they should head back. The map is checked. But they realize that the only map they brought with them is damaged and they don't remember which way is the way back. They decide to do a backpack check 2 flashlights. Good. only 1 extra set of batteries( they don't work/ are dead). One friend partially remembers the last hour or so way back they start in that direction. Camera pans away to spot in trees farther away. Something is watching them. Camera is shown from different angles while they walk.  Evening ensures. At one point one friend sneaks away to go jump scare the other 2. At the exact moment afterwards they get jumpscared from the other a distant stick crack is heard far back. Then they call out " Hello? Anyone out there?" Silence.. long. Long silence. Wind. Followed by awkward camera angles. They rock paper scissors, one friend goes to check it out.  After disappearing for sometime they get concerned call out a  few times. No reply?  Again. Nothing.. then they both go check it out. By now it is pretty much dusk. Footprints and branch breaks lead to a swamp and nothing. Suddenly from the path a light source is switched on. And starts moving further down the path. They call out to it. Nothing. Then there is a chase to go catch up with it thinking its the friend. When they are just about to reach the light it extinguishes. Oddly enough. But then whoever was lighting left their shoes. The shoes are bloody. They are friends shoes. Realization sets in and they are freaked out. And start running. At one point they both  see a ghostly apparition its their friend but in its place of a head just black. More panic! Next scene they make it to a small bridge over a stream and decide to wait a bit to catch their breath. It was all a dream there was no third friend. Yet they still remember that they came the 3 of them.
