Toxic (Short Screenplay Character drama with fantastical elements)

 

Sixteen-year-old Alice was raised by her mother in an underground bunker. But when her mother suddenly dies, Alice isn’t sure what to do. She was given strict instructions of what her mother wanted her to do if something like this occurred – clean the house, shut down the system, and take poison so she, too, can die like her mother. She is almost ready to follow the instructions and even places the poison in her mouth, but then she realizes - Alice wants to live.
