INT. ANN’S LIVING ROOM DAY

CLOSE UP: ANN’S FACE

It’s a typical cloudy and moody Wednesday morning in the UK,

Ann, 73, just goes back home with two bags of groceries on

her hands.

ANN

Am home. I got you your favorite

Ravioli. Almost quarrel with the

guy at the check out. On what

universe couldn’t they accept my

voucher...you know, it’s just

expired two days ago. How

ridiculous was that? Look how

filthy the room is..I need to do

the cleaning today.

Ann takes off her coat, starts to do the cleaning. She wipes

the dinning table, mops the floor and waters the plants on

the table.

ANN

Do you know that the Greek woman

lives at the end of our block,

what’s her name...oh

Livana[U+FF0C]had a stroke last

week. I say she had it coming

herself. How many times her stupid

dog slunk into our garden and

ruined your orchid in the garden

she just simply said: I am sorry

Mrs Russell, but isn’t my bobby

adorable?" I saw someone coming

yesterday picked that dog

up.Finally!

Ann walks into the bedroom, takes several pills out from a

box on the bedstand and swallows them. She looks out of the

window, signs.

INT.ANN’S LIVING ROOM

Someone’s knocking at the door.

ANN

Who is it?

POSTMAN

Postman, open the door please.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 2.

Ann slowly walks towards the door and opens it, with a

impatient countenance on her face.

POSTMAN

Good morning

ANN

I don’t know you. where has

MR.Miller gone?

POSTMAN

MR.Miller retired last week.I am

Scott, nice to see you.

ANN

I don’t like you young man. Look at

your furtive eyes and sullen face.

Who will be happy to see you

everyday?

POSTMAN

Oh madam...

ANN

Give me that before you ruin my

day!

Ann grabs the box and shuts the door.

POSTMAN

What the..

Ann opens the box, it appears to be a silk scarves from her

niece Rachel.

ANN

Guess what is it Martin? silk

scarves from Rachel. Oh right she

went to China with her weedy little

husband for honeymoon. Have you

ever heard a man allergies to

everything? Last time they came

over for dinner a roache scared the

hell out of him. What a pussy...

what do you think..? is it good on

me?

INT. ANN’S LIVING ROOM

Ann is sitting on the sofa with an old photo album on her

hands,the television is on.

ANN

Look at you in that uniform, what

year was that? 1963? It really has

been a long time.

CAMERA ZOOM IN, CLOSE UP TO ANN’S FACE. IT IS TENDERNESS IN

HER FACE WHEN SHE LOOKS AT THE OLD PHOTO FROM ALBUM.

The camera moves on the wall, there’s a cold newspaper

clipping with the headline: "Fire fighters,45,died after

saving 3 people’s life"

ZOOM OUT AND FADE TO BLACK
