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: 83Please respect copyright.PENANAZW9Csdb8yX
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. 83Please respect copyright.PENANADWCaiUWwQd
Change angle to second. The Informer stumbles towards the camera, looks tired, strained, drug-induced maybe, he speaks: 83Please respect copyright.PENANAwaR6oqVCgc
Informer: It was not like this at all. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAY4ljCGxRun
Observer: How was it then? 83Please respect copyright.PENANAbGxtuiRDgb
Informer: Completely different from your view. 83Please respect copyright.PENANA3YWtfIE7Hf
Observer: What other view is there... 83Please respect copyright.PENANAqoTYCEnGJD
Informer: You’re a sick creature and we don’t want you to return. 83Please respect copyright.PENANA6qk81OPTqQ
Observer: This is strange from what I’ve seen. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAHEaAs7EQHk
Informer: If you return you won’t be let in. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAdFU9Ienbne
Observer: They always let me in. Even Sundays. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAR9kzlhNA9x
Informer: They said that you can’t any longer. They told me everything about you. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAlBYrnqJrGe
Observer: What did they say about me? 83Please respect copyright.PENANA2P1tSOLwBW
Informer: They said nothing. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAgQOKH4LLYN
Observer: But what did they say? 83Please respect copyright.PENANAZPPEQLhmtv
Informer: (with emphasis) They said nothing. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAU1TIvwDUos
Observer: It is so. There are still truths to be found in the gutter...83Please respect copyright.PENANASzGOkEoezt
Informer: This is false. Those are my clothes and shoes. 83Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ts8IBL3t8
Observer: That cannot be.83Please respect copyright.PENANAy3Q4vRYakG
Informer: That can only be. I work as a strip model at the Dean. So those are my clothes. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAX5ZY2mvalu
Observer: Why were they left behind?83Please respect copyright.PENANAc83RsCnOlV
Informer: Wouldn’t you like to hear. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAuYxeDn1UI8
Observer: Please. It’s now all I have left. Let my drums sink into them. 83Please respect copyright.PENANA47PpYbiVst
Informer: I fucked him over the Honda parked opposite. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAqKI4nHksae
Observer: What did it feel like? 83Please respect copyright.PENANAHU1I7QaHQa
Informer: You would never know. Emotional memory distant. Leave away me now. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAYxViSBw45J
Observer: And can’t ever feel. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAE8w5SMXS9R
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. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAXwIf8gxQtW
Observer: And can’t ever be. 83Please respect copyright.PENANARayJ8yoZK3
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: 83Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4LM4aWtlu
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. 83Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Gl9Ndiyr
End. Blackout. Ends. 640 words. Almost there.83Please respect copyright.PENANATqfD08EQ8u
