EXT. LARGE PARK WITH LAKE/POND - DAY 1
Daniel sitting on a park bench dressed smartly in a suit
but with his tie lose hair a bit of a mess, half smoked
cigarette in his left hand, mobile phone in his right and
an empty coffee cup at his feet.
CU AS HE TAKES A DRAG AND BLOWS THE SMOKE OUT.
The phone rings and he lets it ring out. It rings again
and again but he doesn’t answer. After the call rings out
he looks down at his phone with multiple missed calls and
messages. He pauses and contemplates what to do. He
unlocks his phone and sighs. He locks his phone and takes
a drag of his cigarette and puts his head into his hands.
An elderly man walks by and sits next to Daniel on the
bench.
ELDERLY MAN
