Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. 52. CLOSE SHOT – GOODMAN 52. As he instinctively backs away. GOODMAN She's crazy. Look I can explain that. Please . . . I can really explain that . . . She's making it up anyway. (then he shouts,) I tell you she's making it up! Now he takes a step toward the crowd and they back away from him. He walks down the steps after them and they continue to back away. Now he's suddenly and completely left alone and he looks like a man caught in the middle of a menacing circle as we take a SLOW FADE TO BLACK: Based on the clues in this excerpt, what will most likely happen next?
