What ’ s going on ? Where are we ?
New York City . 2075 .
ALYSSA
MS . TAYLOR
ALYSSA But why are they in their attic ? Alone ? What ’ s going on ?
MS . TAYLOR We didn ’ t take care of Earth . Global temperatures rose so fast that within the span of a few weeks , icecaps around the world melted .
Is that even possible ? I don ’ t think it is .
ALYSSA
MS . TAYLOR Maybe right now it isn ’ t , but who knows what the future holds .
This can ’ t be real .
ALYSSA
MS . TAYLOR It ’ s certainly real for them . All these two can do is shelter in their attic away from the floodwaters , ration their food , and wait for help to arrive .
Will it ?
We ’ ll have to wait and see .

( The lights on ALYSSA and MS . TAYLOR die out , focusing on REBEKAH and WILL . WILL is rummaging around in a leather bag . He pulls out what appears to be a can of soup .)
This is the last of it , Becky .
WILL
REBEKAH Already ? I thought we salvaged enough food for three , four weeks , at least .
