A forest that never forgets.
A ladder that grows in the dark.
A ranger haunted by something more than memory.

Tien has worked alone in Thailand’s deep forest for too long.
The nights are quiet—until they aren’t.

Each evening, a wooden ladder appears between the trees.
At first small.
Then taller.
Then towering—groaning as if something is climbing it.

No one else sees it.
No one believes him.
Not even when he spots his dead friend standing at the top.

The ladder isn’t just an object.
It’s a warning. A memory. A doorway.
Maybe even a mouth.

When a new partner arrives at the ranger station, Tien finally feels less alone—
until the hallucinations become shared,
the forest begins to breathe,
And something from the past starts knocking.

What follows is a descent into guilt, obsession, and supernatural terror—
told entirely in cinematic screenplay form.

This isn’t just a script.
It’s a séance disguised as a short film read.
