The Knock

Title: "The Knock"
[INT. ABANDONED LIVING ROOM - DAY]
[The room is cluttered with remnants of a once-bustling life. The last man on Earth, TOM, sits alone on a worn-out couch, staring into the void. Suddenly, a faint knock interrupts the eerie silence.]
TOM
(confused)
Wait, what?
[He glances at the door, disbelief in his eyes. Another knock, slightly louder this time. Tom cautiously approaches the door, intrigued yet wary.]
TOM (CONT'D)
Who could it be?
[With a mixture of curiosity and caution, he opens the door. To his surprise, there's a small package on the doorstep. Tom picks it up, examining it with suspicion.]
TOM (CONT'D)
(whispering)
This can't be real.
[He opens the package to find a handwritten note and a simple, heartfelt message.]
NOTE
"We're still here. You're not alone. - Survivors"
[Tom, overwhelmed with emotion, looks around as if expecting someone to appear. The realization sinks in, and a spark of hope ignites within him.]
TOM (CONT'D)
(whispering with a smile)
I'm not alone.
[The camera zooms out as Tom clutches the note, standing in the doorway of his once desolate home. The knock that shattered his solitude became a beacon of connection in this post-apocalyptic world.]
