dark  inside  the  house.  The  husband  and  wife  are  scared  to  go  in  the  house  but  still  they  enter
               the   house)

               Wife:   Hello.   Is   there   anyone   here?   We   need   your   help.

               Husband:   Hello!!

               (The   door   closes   automatically  with  a  bang.  The  couple  run  towards  the  door  and  tries  to
               open   it,   but   nothing   happens)

               Wife:   (in   a   scared   tone)   Oh  my  god.  What  will  happen  now?  We  are  stuck  here.  I  am  so
               scared!   I   want   to   go   out!.   Please   help.

               Husband:  Wait.  I  will  try  to  break  this  door.  After  all,  it’s  wooden  and  looks  very  old.  It  will
               not   take   much   effort.

               (Husband  tries  to  break  the  door  but  after  multiple  failed  attempts.  He  gets  tired  and  sits  near
               the   door)


               Husband:  (in  a  tired  voice)  it’s  not  opening.  It’s  a  very  strong  wood  door.  I  can't  break  it  on
               my  own.  Why  did  we  come  here?  We  should  have  stayed  in  the  car  only.  That  was  much
               better.   We   are   stuck   here.   I   just   want   to   go   out.

               Wife:   We   will   get   out   of   here.   Don’t   say   that.   Wait,   I   will   look   for   something   here.

               (Wife  tries  to  look  around  the  room  with  her  phone’s  flashlight.  All  she  could  see  was  old  and
               dirty  wooden  furniture  and  a  dirty  floor  with  sand  on  it.  It  looks  like  no   one  came  here  in
               years.   Very   old   and   destroyed   paintings   were   hanging   on   the   wall.   )

               Wife:  I  can't  find  anything  here,  everything  is  so  old  and  rusty.  All  we  can  do  now  is  wait  for
               the  morning.  There  is  not  even  a  window  in  this  house.  Only  one  door.  What  is  this  place?
               Where   are   we?

               Husband:  It’s  all  my  mistake.  I  only  asked  you  to  come  out  of  the  car.  I  am  sorry.  We  are
               stuck   here   because   of   me.


               Wife:   No.   Don’t   say   that.   I   asked   you   to   come   inside   this   house.   It’s   all   my   mistake.

               Husband:   no   it’s   my   mistake.   I   am   responsible   for   this   situation.

               Wife:   No,   I   am   responsible   for   this.

               Husband:   No   you   are   not.   I   am   responsible.

               Wife:   No,   we   are   here   because   of   me.

               Driver:   Both   of   you   are   here   because   of   both   of   you.

               Husband:  Driver,  you  idiot.  Where  are  you?  We  are  stuck  here  because  of  you.  Now  come  in
               front  of  us.  I  will  tell  you  how  powerful  I  am.  You  are  finished  now.  I  will  complain  to  the
               police.   Now   come   in   front   of   us.
