A Plot Synopsis

So I've figured out the complete story. I'm writing the script right now and I'm almost finished, but I want to type the full plot summary on my blog.

It starts out with a girl reading an article on her screen at night. The article is about a man whose rape charges were dropped, and it shows a picture of him and his victim, a young teen.

The girl is angry, but most of all, very sad. She prints the the article and cuts the image of the rapist.
She then goes to her room and takes out her makeshift altar and begins a dark ritual. She gets a pentagram, a bowl, charcoal, four black candles, etc.

At the end of the ritual, the short then goes to the rapist while he is sleeping. He hears a strange noise and wakes up, as he goes back to sleep, these hands appear from under his pillow and start strangling him. He breaks free and begins running into his hallway. As he turns around the hallway corner, he is found in the same hallway, and he can't escape. Other creepy things happen to him throughout the film until the very end, he "wakes up." Everything that has been happening was a nightmare, caused by the witch's ritual. 

Then, we see the witch girl comforting  young teen, the one from the article that was raped. They're siblings, which connects to the whole vengeance aspect. The witch would never harm anyone physically, but she would definitely mess with his dreams.

I want to find a way to show that this nightmare curse will continue to happen for days to come. The main point of this film is to be a sort of letter to victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault. To show that they are not alone, and that those who committed the crime will get what is coming to them.
