Hi there. I'm writing a movie script and have a question.
First I have a scene in an office. My main character, Steve, is talking with his boss at the boss' office (the door is closed) and the boss fires him. Then there is a change of location to the office bullpen just outside the office, when this happens...
1) Steve storms out of the office.
2) Steve storms out from the office.
3) Steve comes storming out of the office.
4) Steve comes storming out from the office.
Questions:
- If the location is the office bullpen and not the office, could I use both "of" and "from"?
- Would option "3" and "4" be natural as well?
- Which of the 4 sentences do you prefer?
Thank you.
