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.

You should look into some creative writing classes! It will help you format your stories correctly and learn about length in scenes. Good luck! Always be educating yourself and you'll get better and better and better.

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.
