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: 90Please respect copyright.PENANAJTxCAD3pxd
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. 90Please respect copyright.PENANANxOwcn4GKj
Change angle to second. The Informer stumbles towards the camera, looks tired, strained, drug-induced maybe, he speaks: 90Please respect copyright.PENANAfMqqqVYonA
Informer: It was not like this at all. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAWAMQlMh3jU
Observer: How was it then? 90Please respect copyright.PENANAtV3NcBnrXl
Informer: Completely different from your view. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAmkJH3B4Sw8
Observer: What other view is there... 90Please respect copyright.PENANAT1EABKtlrZ
Informer: You’re a sick creature and we don’t want you to return. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAr7Cgf6NSgv
Observer: This is strange from what I’ve seen. 90Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gmj1dn2PK
Informer: If you return you won’t be let in. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAGv6dGr7MdZ
Observer: They always let me in. Even Sundays. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAB39IEvjMuJ
Informer: They said that you can’t any longer. They told me everything about you. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAtWJ3aZGznU
Observer: What did they say about me? 90Please respect copyright.PENANAVnssdkYeic
Informer: They said nothing. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAYvWgaRvzac
Observer: But what did they say? 90Please respect copyright.PENANAIbyfx4BY8A
Informer: (with emphasis) They said nothing. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAJ56zIschqm
Observer: It is so. There are still truths to be found in the gutter...90Please respect copyright.PENANAtbX4oIa8P0
Informer: This is false. Those are my clothes and shoes. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAvEYh85Fgnr
Observer: That cannot be.90Please respect copyright.PENANAVEpLmzSYMy
Informer: That can only be. I work as a strip model at the Dean. So those are my clothes. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAkRzz61PeQP
Observer: Why were they left behind?90Please respect copyright.PENANA1sRH23yuIC
Informer: Wouldn’t you like to hear. 90Please respect copyright.PENANA18Oxrv9jva
Observer: Please. It’s now all I have left. Let my drums sink into them. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAc4U1JNOcq4
Informer: I fucked him over the Honda parked opposite. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAxH9cbpxwQy
Observer: What did it feel like? 90Please respect copyright.PENANAAmUThUlTJC
Informer: You would never know. Emotional memory distant. Leave away me now. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAfBQTM2zzBO
Observer: And can’t ever feel. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAIMCew7urWN
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. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAh2hSiV5qxN
Observer: And can’t ever be. 90Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ20Opf1qi
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: 90Please respect copyright.PENANALMCEvF2N9G
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. 90Please respect copyright.PENANApUUTjg4shu
End. Blackout. Ends. 640 words. Almost there.90Please respect copyright.PENANAlo70fnFOHW
