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: 38Please respect copyright.PENANADI0x2mLp0p
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. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAN07b9d8iwp
Change angle to second. The Informer stumbles towards the camera, looks tired, strained, drug-induced maybe, he speaks: 38Please respect copyright.PENANAar02xDe5cb
Informer: It was not like this at all. 38Please respect copyright.PENANA0JNp3wqqqR
Observer: How was it then? 38Please respect copyright.PENANAEsm2UIGUZE
Informer: Completely different from your view. 38Please respect copyright.PENANA5XR2Pjs60V
Observer: What other view is there... 38Please respect copyright.PENANACsPK22dKdW
Informer: You’re a sick creature and we don’t want you to return. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAeJeD8IDjin
Observer: This is strange from what I’ve seen. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAovn8pwET4d
Informer: If you return you won’t be let in. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAsbZD8WNOx7
Observer: They always let me in. Even Sundays. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAh5F9DvS3u9
Informer: They said that you can’t any longer. They told me everything about you. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAtVdU4jCB14
Observer: What did they say about me? 38Please respect copyright.PENANAWfG00ZqbOr
Informer: They said nothing. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAn1U34eWxe1
Observer: But what did they say? 38Please respect copyright.PENANA7tFu9Q62IA
Informer: (with emphasis) They said nothing. 38Please respect copyright.PENANATabMU8NQLH
Observer: It is so. There are still truths to be found in the gutter...38Please respect copyright.PENANAXCLlxl7LFe
Informer: This is false. Those are my clothes and shoes. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAaIg3k7gY4d
Observer: That cannot be.38Please respect copyright.PENANAeVgjwivxzI
Informer: That can only be. I work as a strip model at the Dean. So those are my clothes. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAj9XsBJdKQT
Observer: Why were they left behind?38Please respect copyright.PENANAb5NKRtxMRM
Informer: Wouldn’t you like to hear. 38Please respect copyright.PENANA0oYJqQwZii
Observer: Please. It’s now all I have left. Let my drums sink into them. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAUae9ly0FP3
Informer: I fucked him over the Honda parked opposite. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAnhKdezXJVS
Observer: What did it feel like? 38Please respect copyright.PENANANuObBTWflj
Informer: You would never know. Emotional memory distant. Leave away me now. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAhKYkzrEJrK
Observer: And can’t ever feel. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAPARuOLfgTX
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. 38Please respect copyright.PENANA4E1HVYxoXi
Observer: And can’t ever be. 38Please respect copyright.PENANA6bhTbsUZsk
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: 38Please respect copyright.PENANAMnA5gE7cxn
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. 38Please respect copyright.PENANAupMmMCwvE0
End. Blackout. Ends. 640 words. Almost there.38Please respect copyright.PENANAsyvEdagdwx
