A.N.: Ok so two versions of this movie, Maniac, 1980s version with Joe spinell and 2012 with elijah wood. You are free to imagine either one but over all I think the character and plot are beautifully done by both. There are minor differences in the two films so if i mention something from one and not the other don't let it effect your choice. If you have never seen either or only one I highly suggest both.

The day was bright and sunny and people were busily moving around the park, I snapped pictures of family's happily playing, dogs playing fetch, kids swinging and riding their bikes, birds in their nests. In all my attempts to catch life's moments I failed to notice the man not far from me, he looked like he had watching me. That and he seemed on edge and nervous, I held my camera up and caught the moment he looked right at me. The image was a unique one, his eyes holding so much in that one moment. I smiled warmly at the man. "I'm sorry I hope you don't mind!" I told him shyly. He seemed at a loss, his lips parting to answer before closing again. "I-its fine, you're..uh..you're a photographer?" He asked glancing at my camera. I laughed softly, "Some days, other days I'm a painter, or a musician, or a writer. I suppose I cant keep my artistic focus." He smiled. "Wow, you must be really talented. I-I'm Frank by the way..." He said sweating a little. "(Y/n) and I guess you could say so, what about you?" I asked. Finding myself bored of the scenery, I debated in my head where to go next. "I-i run a mannequin restoration business." My eyes lit up as I smiled widely at him. "Thats so cool! Maybe you could show me sometime, I bet they would make lovely photo subjects, if that was ok with you?" He paused thinking then nodded smiling slightly. "W-we could go there now if you'd like?" I couldn't help but fill giddy and nod "Sure!" I following Frank. We went a little ways from the park into a little bundle of stores and I could see mannequins in the window. I pulled my camera to my eye and snapped a few photos. "Wow these are beautiful! How long did it take you to restore them?" I asked. "Sometimes a few days others a few weeks." He said unlocking the store. "Would you like to come in?" I started to answer when my phone rang. I answered mouthing an apology to frank. "Hello?" "(Y/n) I need you down here so you can pick which of the last set of photos needs to be displayed at the exhibit, go ahead and develop the ones you took today and get them ready for the next line up." My friend and business manager said. "Ok ok shessh ill be over asap." I sighed hanging up. "Sorry work calls maybe next time, here. Call me sometime." I handed him my card and hurried off.
