Treatment

Will is lying in bed asleep. As time passes Will begins to squirm, as if he is having a nightmare, however this nightmare is cut short as the alarm blares a siren and screech of tires and an alarm sound. Will wakes in a fright, he is panting and sweaty. Will gathers his nerves and turns off the alarm clock. Will reaches for the light pull above his head and then cowers away from the sudden shock of light. Will then composes his self and reaches for his glasses, whilst doing so the photo of him and his girlfriend Hollie catches his eye. He picks up the photo frame and stares at it for awhile whilst caressing Hollie’s face, Will starts to feel slightly awkward and throws the photo down back on the bedside table. Will then turns the television off, gets out of bed, collects a towel, dressing gown and saunters out of the room.
Will walks into the running shower naked, he grabs some shampoo and starts to frantically washing his hair, the suds gradually multiply until Will shouts out in pain. The pain is coming from his right hand, so Will washes the suds away to reveal a heavily cut hand bleeding. Will is slumps against the shower tiles with a blank look on his face. He gradually pulls himself up, turns off the shower and walks out of the room.
Will enters his bedroom again with his dressing gown and towel wrapped round him. He drops both of them to the floor and pulls up his boxers. Will then starts getting dressed into a black suit, starting with his shirt then to his trousers, belt, tie and finally jacket. He crouches down to look in the mirror to adjust his tie. He stares at himself, disgusted with his own face he drops his head and walks out of the room.
Will walks down his stairs and finds three letters at the bottom of the stairs, he picks them up and reads who they are delivered to. The letters are for Robert Gamble, who is Will’s flat mate. Will continues to the dining room and finds Robert eating cereal. Will puts the letters down on the table, next to Robert’s cereal. Robert asks if they are for him and Will replies with a grunt. Robert is puzzled and asks Will why is he being weird and why he is wearing a suit. Will looks back in disgust as he expects Robert to already know. Robert swiftly realises and apologises. There conversation continues and a lead to Will expressing his guilty feelings about a crash which took place, stating that it was his fault. Robert immediately counter attacks this by saying it wasn’t his fault, it just happened and Will couldn’t of seen it happening. He also tells him that he doesn’t blame him and he assures that his girlfriend Hollie doesn’t blame him also. They both look at the photo of Hollie, Robert and Will on the table. Will asks Robert if he is sure that he doesn’t blame him and Robert reassures him again. Robert then tells Will that he was sorry he couldn’t come today. His reason being that he has to do some work upstairs. Robert leaves the table and taps Will on the shoulder whilst passing him to leave the room.
Will walks down the pavement, he arrives at florists. He spends a short while deciding on what flowers he is going to purchase. He picks a bunch flowers and enters florists, he purchases the flowers, gets them wrapped and then exits the florists. He saunters down the road.
Will is his mum’s car travelling to the graveyard. We hear his thoughts. We hear the crash and police sirens. We also hear the panic of Will and screams from Hollie and Robert. After awhile the car stops and Will’s mum tells Will that they were at graveyard, so Will exits the car.
Will, walks to the grave, he lays down his flowers and kneels down, we continue to hear his thoughts. His thoughts consist of ambulance noise and a doctor trying to save a patient. The doctor’s efforts are useless and the patient dies. The doctor declares Robert Gamble’s death. Will looks at his left to find Hollie touching his shoulder. Will then looks at the gravestone. We then see flash backs of earlier scenes, with the photo of the three, Robert disappears. The letters disappear. Robert at the dining table disappears. We then see Will and Hollie staring at the grave. There is a sudden screech of tires and we see Will waking up again.
