This short sample was written as part of the Netflix “New Voices” Script contest. We were given an assignment to write 5 pages where two characters from a Netflix show are traveling when their car breaks down. I chose Geralt and Jaskier from the Witcher and changed the car to a cart. When their cart gets stuck in a swamp the men soon learn that they are not alone in the bog. It was only after registering and writing the assignment that I realized this was a contest for writers living in the Netherlands only. Instead of letting this sit on my hard drive i decided to post it here and still submit to the contest knowing fully I’m not eligible to win. Regardless here is a cold opening for a spec episode of The Witcher titled Kikimores and Queens.
