Many Voices, No Name

*Applause fades in*

Blinding lights shine upon the vacant microphone. The shadow of a man can be seen a few steps behind appearing to embrace every ounce of glory.

Claps, whistles and howls fade away as the camera then turns to face the lights.

End Scene

Through the whimpering curtains, a ray of sunlight shines upon the cluttered room.

*The mother Knocks on the door*

Mother - "Time to wake up for work, Isiah! and Fix that room before you leave. I'm running late for work but keep in mind what I was saying about looking for a trade, I've left some bits on the side so you can make breakfast."

Rubbing his eyes to try and clear his vision, as he sat up to look around his room.

*actor kisses his teeth*

Actor - Its too early for this.

Flopping back down as if to go back to sleep, he tried to envision his day.

Actor - No time to sit and think I need to get ready.

End scene

yawning away as he sluggishly walked into the bathroom. Where he begins to set himself up for a shower and to brush his teeth.

Bending down to spit out the toothpaste, lifting his head back up to his surprise, he is wearing his mothers clothes.

Mother played by the actor - "Remember what I said you know. Not gonna have you around the house not doing nothing, So its about time you figured out what your gonna do. Don't forget to tidy that room, Love you x"

Splashing his face with water as his vision is blurred. As he wipes his face his vision clears, he is just seeing things.

End Scene

Exiting his house to head to work, he encounters a few familiar faces on the estate.

Their eyes said it all; looking at him from head to toe. Whispering about his kicks, kicking each other about his jeans, looking around for the precise time, as they angled their head at his watch.

Actor nods his head and they nod back.

Before turning his back towards the boys, he soon realizes that one of the boys looks exactly like him.

Boy on the corner played by the actor - "Are you good family, your out here moving mad".

Unknowingly nodding away to every word the boy said in confusion, he rushes off to the bus stop.

End Scene

Heading over to look at the bus schedule, then checks his phone.

Homeless man - "I am a what society made me. I am a physical reflection of depression, of which they don't want to deal with. I am apart of the elite professions, yet I am consumed in debt and insufficient living conditions."

Change drops and pings in his hat, as his hands lay bare their struggle.

Homeless Man - "How you doing there, son?

Any spare change for the homeless man; you are all so kindly stepping over?

Ive been here for a few months and I've been apart of society for 46 years and look how the world treats me.

Your suits, your ties, your boots, your smiles, they are all apart of who i am.

Dismissive and rude

Look into my eyes, my mind shows more than what you see.

Who are you in this world?

I bet your thankful your not me.

So could you lend us some money for a cup of tea?

Camera Cuts to him on the phone

*looking at his phone to check the time to see a message pop up*

Ex girlfriend - "This time last year I needed you to change for me, to help with my pain."

At the time I felt like you could of done more.

I was depressed; struggling to find a breath of fresh air, or a voice of my own.

I lost myself and I began to think this is just how life works.

But If I could say one thing, it would be never lose who you are, never lose your voice."

camera cuts off him as the bus comes into view

After reading the text, you become anxious as you look at the time.

Where you realize the big red shiny bus, has just blown hot air in your face.

You jog alongside the bus tapping the windows but to no prevail.

You check the times for the bus again but realize its Sunday service.

So catching one bus to the next, so you check the time to see how much time you have left, all the while you still haven't phoned in.

Despite this you arrive five minutes before you start and still your manager lays into you about arriving late.

End Of Scene

As the day goes by and your shift comes to an end; you check the time to see you only have five minutes left.

So you try and hide to burn time, but a customer finds you and asks to return a pair of shoes.

As you begin to process the return you see a bus go by. Checking your phone again you realize its five past four, you leave the floor and grab your things.

manager - "where are you going?"

Actor - "home."

Manager - "Who did you ask to go home?"

Actor - "My shift was done five minutes ago."

Before the manager can go on he is called over.

Manager - "Do not leave the store yet, okay."

Twisting your face you leave anyway to see your bus waiting at a red light so of course you commence to run.

End Of Scene

As you get on the bus you look out the window, watching the day wind down and people go by.

Finally arriving home you try to write down your thoughts but the rooms a mess.

reflecting on your day you go back out for a walk around the scenic routes of London. No headphones just yourself, pen and pad.

Writing down your thoughts, reflecting on what you have seen today and the voices in your head.

You set the header as many voices, no name.
