🖋️ Dynamic Screenplay Treatment Excerpt
INT. HISPANIOLA - HOLD & APPLE BARREL - NIGHT
Rain lashes the deck beams above. Saltwater drips through caulking onto the rough oak planks.
JIM HAWKINS (14, soaked, eyes wide with cold clarity) crouches inside the half-empty apple barrel, knees tucked into his ribcage.
LONG JOHN SILVER (50s, imposing, salt-and-iron beard) leans heavily on his crutch against the bulkhead, slicing a salt-pork rind with a weathered sailor's clasp knife. The lantern amber catches the edge of his steel.
SILVER
(low, gravel-voiced, paternal yet chilling)
"The lad Jim has spirit in him, Dick. More than the lot of ye. But when the anchor drops at Skeleton Island, gentlemen of fortune don't keep pets."
Hawkins holds his breath. The sound of his own pulse competes with the creaking timber.
