This story is written like a screenplay/Script because it was originally supposed to be a play.

"Script" is the most general of the three terms, and is not reserved for any specific type of media. "Screenplay" specifically refers to the script of a film or television program. "Teleplay" is even more specific and is only used when referencing television scripts.

A play is a work of drama, usually consisting mostly of dialogue between characters and intended for theatrical performance rather than just reading. The writer of a play is a playwright. ... The term "play" can refer to both the written texts of playwrights and to their complete theatrical performance.

A playwright or dramatist is a person who writes plays.

A 2009 national study, "Outrageous Fortune," found that, on average, playwrights earned $25,000 to $39,000 annually from their work, with about 62 percent making less than $40,000 — among several findings that have spurred a still-continuing discussion about the state of playwriting.
