In the Wilderness, On the Run (Running from Abuse) A family oriented story. #lorijeanfinnila #screenplay #reallifestory #tent #camping

Our first night seemed like fun. Even a bit of a vacation. That's what I wanted my little three year old man to think. And he did very well. The little man even became my helper through all this all the way down to hammering the stakes in for tent eventually and carrying and gathering the wood. We were fine. We were happy together. We had each other and we had peace, most of the time, of course not counting mother nature and it's obstacles for us. We ran for peace.


 In the Wilderness, On the Run (Running from Abuse) A family oriented story.  A screenplay by Lori Jean Finnila.


Me and my sandy haired little kid, three, packed up what we could, as fast as we could. I peeled out of the dirt drive in my dented left side vehicle and made my way to the nearest campground.

EXT. Day. Campground

Car pulls up. Lori walks out of car. Walks around to get Jessie. Unhooks his seat belt on his car seat.

Lori: Hey little buddy.

Jesse smiles and hops out man style.

Lori: (cont.) We're here.

She looks around at an 10 x 15 partly grassed spot. Jesse is happily running around exploring the small ground.

Lori: (cont.) Well I guess I better get the tent together.

Lori makes her way to the car and takes out the small 4 man dome tent and the sleeping bag with the manual pump. She hands Jesse his sippy cup. Jesse grabs the mug and drinks it down.

Lori: (cont.) This thing is complicated.

The metal poles sling back on her a few times. Then another few times.

Lori: (cont.) I got this!

Jesse dances around in glee.

Jesse: Yep!

Lori: Ah. You're so happy. Huh?

END

Watch for more.

EXT. Day. Campground Site Lori is pulling up the tent setting it up. Lori: Jesse want to help mom with the stakes for the tent? Jesse: Yeah Lori: Ok. Lori walks over to Jesse and hands him the hammer and takes a stake and puts it into the ground pulling the tent tighter. Lori: You take the hammer and this part of the stake till it goes into the ground. Don't put your hands near it. Jesse: Ok. Lori: I'd rather you miss than hit your hand. I want you to take your time. Jesse: Ok. Jesse swings the hammer to the top of the stake and it slides off. Lori looks and smiles. He does it again and moves the stake a bit. Lori: I don't want you to rush. We have plenty of time. Jesse: Ok. Jesse keeps hitting until the stake starts towards the ground more. Camping neighbors walks by. Neighbors: Oh look! (One woman with a hand to her mouth smiling.) Her husband smiles too. Lori looks over proudly to Jesse and then smiling back to them. EXT. Day. Campsite Jesse has almost 100 cars lines up

EXT. Day. Beach Campground Jesse and Lori walk toward the beach campground bathroom. Lori carries their towels and essentials. Jesse rides his three wheeler as you can hear the crunching of sand run under his plastic tires. Lori: We're going to take a shower. (humming) Jesse smiles as he speeds up on his three wheeler. Lori walks up the short wooden ramp as Jesse rides his three wheeler in. Mud passes in with his tires. Women in plastic caps, some wrapped in towels, look on in amazement and somewhat horror. A few step beside the mud tracks. Jesse rides into the biggest stall. Lori: Here's your stuff. Lori puts Jesse's items to wash and dry with down on the bench in the shower stall. She then proceeds to turn the water on adjusting it to warm. Lori: Ok buddy. You're all set. Jesse: Ok. Jesse puts his bike set in the corner. Lori walks into her shower and proceeds. You hear humming coming from Jesse's shower. INT. Day. Beach Campground Bathroom
