The ground becomes a town, the town becomes a block, the block becomes a house, the house becomes a roof, and... INT. JACOB'S BEDROOM - NIGHT KA-BLAM! The ceiling explodes as Jacob's body plows through, slams down, shatters the bed, and we immediately: CUT TO: INT. JACOB'S BEDROOM - MORNING Jacob's eyes blast open as he sits up from bed in a cold sweat. A dream. The worst fucking dream from hell anyone would ever want to have -- but still just a dream.
