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: 102Please respect copyright.PENANA7Y7WqiUgST
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. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAMKcbvvFHdD
Change angle to second. The Informer stumbles towards the camera, looks tired, strained, drug-induced maybe, he speaks: 102Please respect copyright.PENANAMFz13QnDhK
Informer: It was not like this at all. 102Please respect copyright.PENANA9W2ELayZuT
Observer: How was it then? 102Please respect copyright.PENANAVjg8sbIU5d
Informer: Completely different from your view. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAChF8mJgOnW
Observer: What other view is there... 102Please respect copyright.PENANAuQzLOIjulb
Informer: You’re a sick creature and we don’t want you to return. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAqRHUf8LXlR
Observer: This is strange from what I’ve seen. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAR6VgjrnjVB
Informer: If you return you won’t be let in. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAuEPb5iyCAB
Observer: They always let me in. Even Sundays. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAAw08GmFiRZ
Informer: They said that you can’t any longer. They told me everything about you. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAoW87nWXjNW
Observer: What did they say about me? 102Please respect copyright.PENANArDjy4wwVJ9
Informer: They said nothing. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAGbHbAYo6K8
Observer: But what did they say? 102Please respect copyright.PENANASzamKkcNYc
Informer: (with emphasis) They said nothing. 102Please respect copyright.PENANA9HwXVN8RzW
Observer: It is so. There are still truths to be found in the gutter...102Please respect copyright.PENANAEvjIBqNTFL
Informer: This is false. Those are my clothes and shoes. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAnsHTgJBEm2
Observer: That cannot be.102Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BAZiurI8
Informer: That can only be. I work as a strip model at the Dean. So those are my clothes. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAIM7bVWs3BE
Observer: Why were they left behind?102Please respect copyright.PENANAZO4v1iKM1x
Informer: Wouldn’t you like to hear. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAFMDWRpmPr8
Observer: Please. It’s now all I have left. Let my drums sink into them. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAfnb5jj5uYd
Informer: I fucked him over the Honda parked opposite. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAeMQ8vFWZkE
Observer: What did it feel like? 102Please respect copyright.PENANA19rl6scPjU
Informer: You would never know. Emotional memory distant. Leave away me now. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAWT7nQV6UV3
Observer: And can’t ever feel. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAFH2iKDHyNl
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. 102Please respect copyright.PENANABEwgsr1f9K
Observer: And can’t ever be. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAu6MS8v1W5w
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: 102Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ8IPnr8SG
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. 102Please respect copyright.PENANAvw64RuSCWt
End. Blackout. Ends. 640 words. Almost there.102Please respect copyright.PENANA725EYhokfU
