Kaji: A Safe Place

Writer's picture: Peter K F Cheung SBSPeter K F Cheung SBS

Act 1


INT. SITTING ROOM - MORNING


Some loud sounds from a distance. KAJI sees PETER's going out.


KAJI (V.O.): It seems that even home isn't safe. Can I join?


PETER: Stay home.


Exiting, Peter closes the door.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Days ago, I sneaked out after him but was caught back.


Recalling.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But as an obedient pet, don't I deserve a safe place?


Act 2


INT. SITTING ROOM - LATER


KAJI (V.O.): I hear some noises behind the door.


Kaji goes and waits at the door.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, it's Peter!


Kaji whines as she sees Peter carrying a piece of bread in a transparent bag.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Welcome back with our bread!


INT. DINING ROOM - LATER


They take their seats and share the bread.


PETER: Finished.


KAJI (V.O.): My 2nd breakfast is coming up.


INT. BEDROOM - LATER


Returning to bed, Kaji sleeps between Peter's legs. Hearing some noises from a distance, Kaji moves closer to Peter. Then, the PACK LEADER rolls over.


PACK LEADER: Could you please go and buy breakfast?


PETER: Yes, anything, anytime.


Exits Peter.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Who's here to cuddle me then? The pack leader doesn't seem to have heard anything.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The best way I can avoid disappointment is not to expect anything from anyone. I should help myself.


Kaji surveys the bed space.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Peter's vacant spot should be a secure shelter for me.


Another round of loud sounds from a distance.


ACT 3


INT. BEDROOM - LATER


As the returning Peter opens the door, he looks shocked.


PETER: Ah! You've usurped my position.

KAJI (V.O.): Is that right? it's just a safe place.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Moreover, I'm staying home to help you guard the Pack Leader and to obey her commands.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): As we share everything, your safe place is no exception.


As Peter takes a photo, Kaji stares at him in defiance.


FADE OUT.

THE END
