Establishing shot shows street. Wall. Street. Drone off into sky. Return. Switch to observer’s face. Observer woman mid 20s, starring off front, distant eyes, moving forwards slowly, shawl or scarf tight around head. Observer voice over plays after a few moments, lasts until appearance of Informer. Voiceover is as follows: 60Please respect copyright.PENANATgAFaVxOX7
Observer Voiceover: Back along the streets I used to walk on. Picking stories out. Bruise marks mean heeled feet. A pair of tights and a sports jacket, college night out. Cork crests. Look into the broken glass see his alcohol tolerance. And no-one in sight. No-one ever in sight. Every cig end was smoked once. All the mouths. All the feet, socks, shoes, tramping on through. Don’t touch with fingers. Fingers carry the little killers. But look at that shoe tossed away. Whose was that? Athletic one. A man approaches. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAcbjKV7Eg30
Change angle to second. The Informer stumbles towards the camera, looks tired, strained, drug-induced maybe, he speaks: 60Please respect copyright.PENANAmmHR2NAqED
Informer: It was not like this at all. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA6GFmEClCGz
Observer: How was it then? 60Please respect copyright.PENANAGhSClIPFcH
Informer: Completely different from your view. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAWUfeLDdJ9R
Observer: What other view is there... 60Please respect copyright.PENANAlX3Evg5MlY
Informer: You’re a sick creature and we don’t want you to return. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAKyBT1DF8c8
Observer: This is strange from what I’ve seen. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA6aN7vtIhpx
Informer: If you return you won’t be let in. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAMRJHIqhMwG
Observer: They always let me in. Even Sundays. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAW6D1dfxR0w
Informer: They said that you can’t any longer. They told me everything about you. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAmM8sdNoNc5
Observer: What did they say about me? 60Please respect copyright.PENANAWPHEVhZyXt
Informer: They said nothing. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAYKdplXiOCe
Observer: But what did they say? 60Please respect copyright.PENANAgb71dTgWaL
Informer: (with emphasis) They said nothing. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAy08poH4dAo
Observer: It is so. There are still truths to be found in the gutter...60Please respect copyright.PENANAjYMXgbUDha
Informer: This is false. Those are my clothes and shoes. 60Please respect copyright.PENANA8Lz8tT2SQo
Observer: That cannot be.60Please respect copyright.PENANAsSB7gYACea
Informer: That can only be. I work as a strip model at the Dean. So those are my clothes. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAxn3Lgnxo0L
Observer: Why were they left behind?60Please respect copyright.PENANAwgkE84W0rk
Informer: Wouldn’t you like to hear. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAv99nFOhWdm
Observer: Please. It’s now all I have left. Let my drums sink into them. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAROagvH5XNm
Informer: I fucked him over the Honda parked opposite. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAmaAEnez42D
Observer: What did it feel like? 60Please respect copyright.PENANA4yIlAK3VN4
Informer: You would never know. Emotional memory distant. Leave away me now. 60Please respect copyright.PENANArttJuRkcZ2
Observer: And can’t ever feel. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAGI7eFHEzhe
Informer: And another thing. They told me all about you and there was a bit more. They said you know no-one and should never be listened to. You are darkness. You are emptiness packed with cig butts and trays of dead grease. You are nothing and won’t ever be. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAMGtoxK2bDY
Observer: And can’t ever be. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ3J3IAcdK
Suddenly, the Informer vanishes out of existence. Sudden blackout. Then. Observer awakes on ground. How many years has it been. Voiceover voice now distorted and rough from age and use. POV angle of Observer getting up from street. Cut back to fisheye angle of face. Continue walking along with voiceover monologue playing until end. The shawl is gone now. Hair is messy. Voiceover is as follows: 60Please respect copyright.PENANA9znaLdoGAc
Observer Voiceover: And that was it. That was all that all it was. Walking back along. Always find my way back somehow. Same old place somehow. So many streets in Cork. So many middle, first names. I run out of hyperfixations, run out of fancy lightings, my meaning becomes abstract. I become now the abstraction of me. Forever doomed. Never can be. And see again. Same old clothes, left behind in the shit drain. Junkie turd levelled on a pair of sad tights. Fall now. Become the studied shit. 60Please respect copyright.PENANAZZlwQaQUcA
End. Blackout. Ends. 640 words. Almost there.60Please respect copyright.PENANAC7tV6noEkK
