🎬 Time Will Tell

Season 1, Episode 1: “The Arrival”

Opening Scene – The Portal

The screen is dark, and all we hear is a deep frequency hum rising, almost like a heartbeat.

Suddenly, streaks of blue and violet light tear through the black. A circular portal forms in mid-air, spinning like liquid glass.

The edges ripple like water, but inside we see fragments of futuristic skyscrapers, neon skies, and drones buzzing.

CUT TO:
I silhouette slowly walking out. My heels/boots hit the ground, and sparks from the portal light my face. Im wearing a futuristic trench coat with embedded glowing lines, like veins of technology.

Scene 2 – First Glimpse of the Future

I step into New York, 2150 (or whichever city we choose). The air is filled with floating holo-ads, self-flying cars, and robotic street guards patrolling.

People wear augmented visors and speak through holographic wristbands instead of phones.

As I walk, citizens glance at me strangely, whispering, because my arrival wasn’t supposed to happen. You’re an anomaly.

Scene 3 – The Realization

I see giant screens playing government propaganda: “The Chosen Timeline Cannot Be Altered.”

A hologram AI voice announces: “Warning: Unregistered traveler detected. Initiating capture protocol.”

Suddenly, drones turn their red eyes toward me.

Scene 4 – The Chase

I sprint down glowing streets, dodging neon hover-bikes and robotic guards.

My futuristic trench coat opens, revealing I have a small time device strapped to my wrist — the very thing that brought me here.

I activate it slightly, bending time around me: the world slows for a few seconds, giving me just enough escape.

Closing Scene – The Warning

I duck into an alley filled with broken tech and old posters.

An old man (a rebel survivor) steps out of the shadows, whispering:
“So… you’re the one who came through the portal. Time will tell if I survive this era.”

Camera zooms in on my face, fierce but uncertain, as the portal hum echoes faintly behind me.
