Vertigo: Echoes of Obsession

🦋🤖 Robo-Spun by IBF 🦋🤖

Prompt: Rewrite Vertigo so that Scottie meets Judy as his therapist after the shock of losing Madeleine. Fictionalize the dialogue where Scottie sees Madeleine in his therapist!

INT. THERAPIST’S OFFICE – DAY

SCOTTIE, a man haunted by loss, sits opposite JUDY, his therapist. His eyes are distant, his demeanor shattered.

JUDY
How are you feeling today, Scottie?

SCOTTIE
(Sighs heavily)
Lost… adrift. Every corner I turn, every face I see, it’s as if Madeleine is there, mocking me.

JUDY
Tell me more about these feelings of loss. How do they manifest?

SCOTTIE
(Slowly)
It’s like she’s everywhere and nowhere at once. I see her in strangers passing by, in the echoes of her laughter lingering in the air. I can’t escape her.

JUDY
It sounds like you’re struggling to come to terms with her absence.

SCOTTIE
(Nods)
I can’t shake this feeling that there’s something I missed. Something I should have seen.

JUDY
Perhaps we should explore these feelings further. What was your relationship with Madeleine like?

SCOTTIE
(With a mixture of pain and longing)
Complicated… intense. She consumed my thoughts, my dreams. I thought I could save her, but…

Suddenly, as if a ghost has entered the room, Scottie’s gaze fixes on Judy. He sees flashes of Madeleine in her, the same grace, the same haunting beauty.

SCOTTIE
(With disbelief)
Madeleine?

Judy’s eyes widen in surprise, then concern.

JUDY
Scottie, it’s me, Judy. You’re safe here.

Scottie shakes his head, trying to dispel the illusion, but Madeleine’s presence lingers.

SCOTTIE
(Desperately)
No… you’re her. You’re Madeleine.

JUDY
Gently)
Scottie, Madeleine is gone. But I’m here to help you find peace.

Scottie’s world spins as the lines between reality and obsession blur once more, trapping him in the labyrinth of his own mind.
