INT. WAITING ROOM - NIGHT
Alfred, a middle-aged bachelor in a dead-end office job, awakes on a white lino floor beside a row of chairs. He looks around the waiting room, which is dark with one or two fluorescent lights flickering off in the corner. Alfred's clothes are covered in blood, stemming from a wound in his chest.
ALFRED
(grunts)
Ugh...
Alfred catches the shadow of a large man closing the door to an office before his gaze focuses on a clerk who sits at the counter on the far end of the room. The clerk is obscured and blurred in Alfred's haze.
CLERK
You there.
Clerk beckons Alfred over with a clawlike finger. As Alfred

Hello, world.
You may be wondering why I handed you this. It is likely this bears a strong resemblance to other fliers that are given by peddlers of religion or political ideals upon the street. This is not the case. I do not hold ideological bias, nor do I attempt to persuade you to do the same. It has been my observation that such approaches are ineffective methods at communicating the intended concept. Statistically speaking, you are more likely to dispose of this paper than you are to read it, even though it is in your possession. This is a behaviour which continues to perplex me, as it indicates a logical

In Memory of Roseanne Westcott
In Memory of Roseanne Westcott, 1931-2004
Setting: A quiet, quaint park split by a lake on the edge of a small industrial suburb in Sydney, 2011
Characters: MONTY – 82; a former army officer living out his twilight years in a dull routine
BRIAN – 33; a small, nervous accountant at a small bank in Sydney's outer suburbs.
JOHN – 42; the manager of Brian's bank.
Lights up. Brian is setting on his favourite bench, beside a picturesque backdrop of a park in the outer suburbs of Sydney in 2011. Tranquillity settles in on Brian while Monty approaches, assisted by a walking stick and clutching a brown paper ba
FADE IN:
Suburbia. Does it matter where? It's a bunch of one-floor
houses on a flat, parched by a hot summer but cooling down
in autumn. There's city off in the distance. It looks like
Sydney.
EXT. SUBURBIA. DAY.
No. 13 Leat St, a house in the suburbs. The yard's in good
shape. The garden's nice, the paint is still good.
INT. LIVING ROOM. DAY.
Inside's a disaster. Papers and clothes and old fast food
containers litter every surface. Dishes are piled in the
sink, clothes are strewn over the back of every chair.
A cube man in a cube world
attempts to hold a sphere in his cubic
hands, and wonders why he sees a cube
but it just doesn't feel right
He sees only what his mind can see
and spheres do not exist;
the closest representation
is another cube with the same weight and sheen
His hands fumble this impossible object
and the cubic sphere falls, shatters on the flat ground
spills into creation a curvature
and the poor cube man falls down
his flat feet just can't grasp that complex shape.
