Episode One: "Unwritten"
Opening Scene (Interior – Old Study Room – Night)
Close-up shots of an old book opened to a torn page. Ink moves as if it’s a living thing. A narrator (voiceover) says:
"With every sentence written, another is erased... and with every being born, a word fades."
Scene 1: (Exterior – A street in Chicago – Rainy Evening)
Nora, a graduate philosophy student, is walking briskly through the rain. She approaches an old bookstall and notices a strange book with no title. When she touches it, her hand tingles.
Scene 2: (Interior – Nora’s Apartment – Same Night)
Nora opens the book and finds its pages almost empty, except for a single scribble: "Unwritten."
Suddenly, the next page begins to fill itself with words, forming right in front of her eyes.
Scene 3: (Flashback – Dream Within a Dream)
Nora dreams she's in a massive library with no roof. Books are flying, and people are erasing themselves from existence. A tattoo suddenly appears on her arm.
Scene 4: (Interior – Lecture Hall – Next Morning)
The professor is lecturing about “cursed books” in Western folklore. He mentions the legend of a book called "The Second Door," said to write its reader’s fate.
Scene 5: (Interior – University Library – Evening)
Nora searches the archives for the book. She finds a small reference hinting that the book changes those who touch it.
Scene 6: (Interior – Nora’s Apartment – Midnight)
Nora tries to rip out a page after reading a line about her death. Just before the page tears completely...
She screams in pain – a strange tattoo begins to form on her body, repeating the same sentence she tried to destroy.
Scene 7: (Exterior – Rooftop – Dawn)
Shot of Nadim (back to camera), holding another copy of the same book. We hear his voice for the first time:
"Some books... write you."
Final Scene:
Camera zooms in on Nora’s eyes as she lies in bed, eyes wide open... the tattoo glows faint red.

Describing a movie instead of telling a story. Forget about all the camera directions, etc.
Beside that, it's a tad dense and not easy to understand what exactly is going on. As noted - format. Read some screenplays, start over, use screenwriting software. There are free programs.
