Synopsis

Someone is clicking onto the screen with the computer in focus, they click onto a link which takes them to a live video of a girl (one of us) covered in blood and sweat crying into the camera, there is a voting section to the side of the screen telling the user to decide her fate. DIE or LIVE the user will be unable to make a decision as the girls scream and plead for help continue to grow. The timer at the top of the screen hits zero and suddenly the room goes red. The girl stops screaming and instead look horrified. Just as she is about to scream again (and be murdered) the person at the other side of the screen clicks away from the tab closing the live stream. They sit back, shaking and sweating before the computer monitors light flashes on, signifying his camera is recording him. The shot slowly pans away with the person looking into the screen with tears down their eyes glued to the screen. Then the whole room flashes red and the film ends.
