SFX: WIND HOWLS

MVO: The cold night air blew in through the open window; a forebearer of bad news.

ERRIE MUSIC (PLAYING THROUGHOUT)

MVO: His gloomy shadow danced across the kitchen table, to the eerie glow of a swaying light.

SFX: DRIPPING SOUND

MVO: Drops of rain echoed the ticking clock that hung above him - watching, waiting...

SFX: CLOCK TICKING

MVO: Tick, tock. It was time. A steaming mug of coffee looked up at him. Helpless. A callous hand reached out for a carton of cold milk.

SFX: KNIFE SCRAPES

MVO: The act was swift. He poured, and poured, and poured, and poured... again and again... relentless, merciless.

SFX: WOMAN SCREAMS

MVO: Until the last of the coffee’s strength dissolved into meaninglessness.

MUSIC OFF

MVO: What a waste...

MVO: Stop killing your coffee. Switch to Khao Shong Mocha – it's ready to drink.
