I saw Daz put first 10 of one of his script, and I've been wanting to do some sort of trailer, but I didn't know you could just do the first whatever many pages, so thats what I'll do.
I don't know if I'll finish it YET at least, because right now I'm in the mood to do a comedy, but a nice cozy one, don't know how to explain, like Zack and Miri when they weren't making the porno, it was all nice and it made me want to eat cookies... Yeah I'm retarded but whatever, here goes, never written on here before, time to show my crappiness!
P.S. I know there are formatting issues where I should have certain things capitalized, but I use Celtx so it does that when you Copy and paste.

ext. Decrepit street - night
The street is surrounded by apartment buildings, abandoned cars, and zombies.
TWO WEEKS AFTER THE INFECTION
Entering we see 4 survivors. One a woman, in her early 20's, attractive, she wears a PINK jacket, her undershirt bears the THE SHINING logo. ZOEY.
Another is an African American man in a bloody, torn up business suit. LOUIS.
Next to him we see BILL, and FRANCIS. Bill wears a green army jacket from his past. he's noticeably older than the rest of them.
Francis looks the part of the traditional biker dude.
zoey
How many rounds do you guys have left? All I have left is my pistols.
louis
(checking magazine)
My shotgun has a couple shells left, pistols are fine.
francis
Same here, I think we can make it for now. We just need to find some food.
bill
Or maybe somewhere to sleep.
francis
Sleep? Yeah. Right.
bill
(irritated)
No, we will, s-
All the sudden we hear faint, and fast tip taps coming from one of the nearby alleyways. The 4 Survivors stop and turn around, except for Francis.
FRANCIS
(NOW turning)
One zombie? Come on guys why so cautious.
louis
Maybe cause I don't wanna be ripped apart and eaten alive. Even if its just by one.
The ZOMBIE emerges from the alleyway. Francis runs up and knifes it straight through the top of its head.
francis
See. Easy!
zoey
(sarcasm)
Thanks.
Then they hear the sound of running feet again. This time multiplied.
zoey contd
(waving)
FRANCIS!
Francis runs back to the survivors as fast as he can, their GUNS ready to fire.
Louis
(whisper)
Come on.
He get's closer and closer, the zombies burst out of the alleyway and the gunfire ensues. Francis shoots from behind blindly, until a slimy, snake like, rope wraps around his neck.
francis
(choking)
GUYS!
Everyone stays distracted by the unending onslaught of zombies, shooting away, except for Zoey. She sights Francis struggling behind the walls of the undead.
zoey
You guy's they have Francis!
They look to her, she points to him. He's gone. But they move forward anyways, shooting through the fast, rotting zombie's blocking their way.
We hear the faint yell of francis through the growls, and hisses of the zombie's. The numbers have been lessened.
With about 5 Zombie's behind them, the 3 hightail it down the alley.
ext. alleyway - same
louis
FRANCIS!
The rest yell along with him. Until they get to the end of the alleyway. The 5 zombie's have caught up with them.
Zoey blast's one's head off with her pistols, louis really blast one's head off with his shotgun, and bill shoots the rest all over with his assault rifle.
bill
Where the hell is he?
ZOEY
(given up)
I don't know.
francis
(far off)
Guys...hel-...
The 3 look at each other confused. They run back from where they came. Bill turns his head to the left as they run back and sees the door.
bill
(pointing)
WAIT! Door.
Louis
(out of breath)
Thank the fuckin' Lord.
They jog to the door, open it fast, and walk in cautiously.
Int. dark room - same
Complete darkness overcomes them. We hear a nearby struggle.
ZOEY
FRANCIS!
They wait for a response. Nothing.
bill
(annoyed)
Anyone have a light?
louis
I'm getting it.
All the sudden, the darkness is no more, though seeing is still not easy.
louis
(command)
FRANCIS!
With the help of the flashlight the 3 see shelves with food, and many boxes on them. They all look that the food longingly.
ZOEY
We can't now, but when we find Francis.
bill
Yeah, yeah.
They finally all split up around the medium sized room, and scout it.
ZOEY
(echoe)
I found him!
Bill and Louis meet and find her voice. Then gunshots. they fun faster, until they see francis on the floor unconscious, and over him zoey covered in black goo.
Under her is the creature that got francis, it's face is bulbous and deformed, the tongue on it was the rope we saw earlier.
The 3 conscious survivors aren't shocked. It's obvious they've seen this before...
louis
He okay?
ZOEY
I felt his pulse, he'll get through it.
Then all the sudden, they hear the faint sound of a crying woman. It's haunting, it's the witch.
CUT TO BLACK
We hear a dramatic booming noise.
The Left 4 Dead logo appears on screen.

ext. Enders university - campus courtyard - day
BEFORE THE INFECTION
The courtyard is well populated with college kids going to their classes, or chatting it up. We see a well sized dorm building in the midst of this.
int. enders university - dorm - day
ZOEY sits on the couch, watching the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, as she munches on some subway for lunch.
The door to the room opens, and her roommate stacy enters with her bag.
stacy
Hey, whatcha watching?
ZOEY
(eyes on TV)
Night of the Living Dead
stacy
(laughs)
Nice.
Stacy walks to the couch, and gets comfortable.
stacy contd
Wow. Old.
ZOEY
Yep, 1968.
STACY
So you excited for the party tonight?
ZOEY
I guess.
STACY
Oh come on, you never have fun. It's time girl.
ZOEY
I have fun.
STACY
OK, when do you have fun then?
ZOEY
A lot of the time. Like today, this movie is really good.
STACY
(looks at TV)
Oh come on, its not even in color.
ZOEY
STILL. But it's fine, I'll just buy some earplugs and lock my door so no one comes in to screw.
STACY
Oh you don't have to do that. Participate for once! Every time I host a party here you do this.
ZOEY
What's so great about parties anyways.
STACY
Oh I don't know, boy's, alchohol, and some really good bean dip!
ZOEY
Why do you want me for it anyways?
STACY
I don't know, I just think... that you need to let loose a little bit, ya know? So, will you?
ZOEY
I... guess.
STACY
Yay!
ZOEY
(mocks)
Time to let loose.

Baby?
He goes over and turns the lights on now. She's not there. Louis exits the room.
