EXT. PARKING LOT - DUSK

A trailer truck sits in an empty parking lot. A police officer approaches. She walks to the driver side cab and climbs the step to peer in. She checks the handle and the door is unlocked. She speaks into her walkie.

OFFICER
Truck appears to be empty and is unlocked. Going to check the interior cab. 

The officer opens the driver side door. As she looks around she leans her hand on the driver's seat and water squishes out. The officer quickly retracts her hand. Water lightly drips from the ceiling of the truck cab. She gets out of the truck and closes the door. She walks to the back of the truck. Water leaks from the corners of the back doors. The officer opens the back doors of the truck and is confronted by a wall of water that reaches the top of the truck. It doesn't spill out. The water retains it's shape as if the doors hadn't been opened. The officer stands still in confusion. She reaches her hand to the water and touches it. She grows braver until she eventually crawls through the wall of water into the truck and is submerged. 

INT. TRUCK LAKE

The officer swims in the dark water. She turns on her flashlight. The beam of light illuminates an underwater world full of fish, plants and rocks. As she continues to swim she sees an old man in the distance. He lays motionless on the truck lake floor. She swims hard but the current picks up and she's out of breath. 

INT. BATHROOM

The officer swims up for air and emerges in a strangers bathtub, gasping, still in uniform. She tries to dive back down but it's still the bathtub. She hits her fists against the bottom of the tub but nothing changes. She gives up and gets out of the tub. Soaking wet she walks downstairs.

INT. KITCHEN

The officer walks past a family eating dinner. 

OFFICER
Evening. 

The family watches as the officer leaves the house. 

EXT. HOUSE

The officer looks around to get her bearings. She spots her car and the parking lot about a block away. She runs back that direction. 

EXT. PARKING LOT - NIGHT

The officer gets back to the parking lot and the truck is gone. The only sign it was there are a few puddles of water. 

She heads to her car and sees the old man sitting in the back, wrapped in a blanket. She runs to the door and opens it. Her car is half filled with water and it's rising. The water never spills out of the car.

OLD MAN
Hey! Get in. I want to show you something. 

OFFICER
How did you get in here? 

The Old Man looks at her with a big smile.

OLD MAN
Magic! Just fucking with you. The door was open. C'mon.

The officer nods her head and closes the car door. She sits in the back with the old man. He holds her hand. They both take a deep breath as the water rises over their heads.
