Alternate Ending Of The Unna Monologue
EXT. POOL - EVENING
Across a public pool, sits a girl (Melody)--her legs propped up on a chaise longue. Around her lies dead leaves fallen from washed out trees in the background. The cloudy sky casts a dull gray light softening the shadows and highlights; the desaturated colors of the concrete parallels the bright vibrant blue of the swimming pool. Melody is wearing a gray cardigan with the sleeves pulled all the way down--as if to protect from the subtle yet constant cold. She sits silently and expressionless, headphones in her ears. The scene flashes back...
EXT. PARK - DAY
Melody’s phone rings. She slowly pulls it out of her back pocket and brings it over towards her ear.

Inside, a solitary match remains. The last match--the last strand. She hesitantly shakes the box, as if a part of her resisted the developing thoughts in her mind. Melody swiftly stands up and rushes towards the pile of leaves, kicking it towards the edge of the pool. There, she lights the match, and then the leaves on fire.
Like raging fury, the fire shoots up into an all consuming flame. Melody stands above, no hesitation in her movements. Reaching inside her pocket, she pulls out a container of anti-depressants--still unopened. Steadily, she opens the bottle, letting the cap fall to the floor. Above the flame she lifts the pills. She begins tilting. The force of gravity slowly pulls the pills down, one by one dropping into the raging flame.
Her face, illuminated in an overbearing red hue, grows more and more restless; her eyes dart left and right until her they lock onto a lifesaver secured to a fence. For a moment, she stands still. All she can feel is
