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: 88Please respect copyright.PENANAsSrUSrIBcW
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. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAJ945XTLA1u
Change angle to second. The Informer stumbles towards the camera, looks tired, strained, drug-induced maybe, he speaks: 88Please respect copyright.PENANAUfVPcIafLa
Informer: It was not like this at all. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAar0VYQNvM4
Observer: How was it then? 88Please respect copyright.PENANAjLwnYoRYzG
Informer: Completely different from your view. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAAi4lTxZUdc
Observer: What other view is there... 88Please respect copyright.PENANAEReAqPqLu9
Informer: You’re a sick creature and we don’t want you to return. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAA03Dt2EjL0
Observer: This is strange from what I’ve seen. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAcoU9K7zcim
Informer: If you return you won’t be let in. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAeymiKyGSN3
Observer: They always let me in. Even Sundays. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAcSP2txVpX3
Informer: They said that you can’t any longer. They told me everything about you. 88Please respect copyright.PENANASJCGcDbhXI
Observer: What did they say about me? 88Please respect copyright.PENANAhjRIdnojt9
Informer: They said nothing. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAfEGhMNvgT2
Observer: But what did they say? 88Please respect copyright.PENANAjfNXYM6qfy
Informer: (with emphasis) They said nothing. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAOSbvEL1y7C
Observer: It is so. There are still truths to be found in the gutter...88Please respect copyright.PENANAl1obkGZbG7
Informer: This is false. Those are my clothes and shoes. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAI9FbDHay8I
Observer: That cannot be.88Please respect copyright.PENANANkhy28ndNB
Informer: That can only be. I work as a strip model at the Dean. So those are my clothes. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAoOV9QZTgxb
Observer: Why were they left behind?88Please respect copyright.PENANAK4VBhwEAS0
Informer: Wouldn’t you like to hear. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAb48JM1HKWH
Observer: Please. It’s now all I have left. Let my drums sink into them. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAWIpvK2pN3g
Informer: I fucked him over the Honda parked opposite. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAsZWCqg3nsW
Observer: What did it feel like? 88Please respect copyright.PENANAZZP3LOs7NH
Informer: You would never know. Emotional memory distant. Leave away me now. 88Please respect copyright.PENANANXQeJV0eWk
Observer: And can’t ever feel. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAAOc0UrDTKe
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. 88Please respect copyright.PENANABNFkTt1g4f
Observer: And can’t ever be. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAdBncNxSdxP
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: 88Please respect copyright.PENANACLn7NfMneV
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. 88Please respect copyright.PENANAfJmczAQdcw
End. Blackout. Ends. 640 words. Almost there.88Please respect copyright.PENANAPQXhZeUIe8
