hands.
Daniel

Old man

Daniel turns his head slightly
Daniel
How do you know somethings wrong?
Daniel continues to look at the old man as he rules his
newspaper
Actions speak louder than words
and you always have options
however its best to do something
about it and to fail than to do
nothing and expect it to change
Daniel looks shocked, the old man turns over to the next
page
Daniel

Daniel looks down disheartened
Old man
its easy for anyone to say but
your the one that has to do
something because your the one it
effects
Old man turns page
Daniel

Charlotte, She looks away with an almost empty cup of tea
in front of her.
Daniel

sitting staring at the tea
shot of the tea leaking across the table and flowing onto
the floor slowly
