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: 67Please respect copyright.PENANAnOa9K7tWwh
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. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAXO9hMH0aaR
Change angle to second. The Informer stumbles towards the camera, looks tired, strained, drug-induced maybe, he speaks: 67Please respect copyright.PENANAlI0ZkHbi4S
Informer: It was not like this at all. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAriYwgQGyI5
Observer: How was it then? 67Please respect copyright.PENANAM6q86GcO0l
Informer: Completely different from your view. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAq4WMBT4JR6
Observer: What other view is there... 67Please respect copyright.PENANAclgGjXCtgz
Informer: You’re a sick creature and we don’t want you to return. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAAxQVALzRyq
Observer: This is strange from what I’ve seen. 67Please respect copyright.PENANA0nG8eKi50P
Informer: If you return you won’t be let in. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAySPmCqzVPt
Observer: They always let me in. Even Sundays. 67Please respect copyright.PENANADtSsc9Duum
Informer: They said that you can’t any longer. They told me everything about you. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAGbNHUdlKYl
Observer: What did they say about me? 67Please respect copyright.PENANADHmWNDiezp
Informer: They said nothing. 67Please respect copyright.PENANA8LfmC7EbiQ
Observer: But what did they say? 67Please respect copyright.PENANAUNG99nG3Hm
Informer: (with emphasis) They said nothing. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAw93GSlDWIK
Observer: It is so. There are still truths to be found in the gutter...67Please respect copyright.PENANAyFzR3puQx4
Informer: This is false. Those are my clothes and shoes. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAchu8VIN9Id
Observer: That cannot be.67Please respect copyright.PENANAhMQQpVQZBe
Informer: That can only be. I work as a strip model at the Dean. So those are my clothes. 67Please respect copyright.PENANANuVkpc5v7K
Observer: Why were they left behind?67Please respect copyright.PENANAHmLMc2rVPL
Informer: Wouldn’t you like to hear. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAsmlSrzHvOl
Observer: Please. It’s now all I have left. Let my drums sink into them. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAi3KWNzEDFX
Informer: I fucked him over the Honda parked opposite. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAlFGUhvz2Lv
Observer: What did it feel like? 67Please respect copyright.PENANAu5nE0Kei4q
Informer: You would never know. Emotional memory distant. Leave away me now. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAEv7t7oku6H
Observer: And can’t ever feel. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAWmYpELpnpg
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. 67Please respect copyright.PENANAqdXkWe6sjJ
Observer: And can’t ever be. 67Please respect copyright.PENANACPadpwbcE0
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: 67Please respect copyright.PENANAKqL6yyx3im
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. 67Please respect copyright.PENANALagoelCCqA
End. Blackout. Ends. 640 words. Almost there.67Please respect copyright.PENANAXf88LVtdCK
