BEDROOM - DAY Lying in bed, a boy opens and closes the metal blinds, gating the outside light onto his face, otherwise his motionless body lay in rest. His environment has been hit by bomb shell, scraps of screwed up paper, past week food, wrappers and a mountain of clothes being its debris. Springing from his rest spot he heaves the string rising the flimsy metal sheets to expose the full beam filling up the room with natural lighting in places once shadowed. Leaning on the flaking painted ceil, he begins geometrically flowing his index finger on the window removing light condensation, prevented by the weather, in the process, taking real care to eventually removing its existence with merely one swipe. Jarring his head to the right peering down at his alarm clock which shun 12:30. BOY: *Sigh* Collapsing back into his worn mattress, eyes firmly shut till something catches his attention. *Clink*(SOUND OF GLASS TOUCHING, Sound of liquid being poured) The boy opens his eyes directing them towards the sound. His calm facial expression drops into a screwed up glare with anger fuelled eyes. He shoots out of bed landing on the ball of his feet and tip toes to his bedroom door, opening it with a lot of care to hold back the squeak of the worn hinges. Then continues to another ajar door further down the hallway. INT. HALLWAY/KITCHEN - DAY Peaking out to explore further, he comes across a man, scruffy beard, overgrown hair, stained t shirt and boxers grasping a bottle of cheap branded whisky paired with a whisky styled glass in either hand.

The boy takes one more deep breath to build his courage to open the door. FADE OUT/IN INT. BEDROOM - DAY They both settle on the two bed a distance away, the boy slouch against the wall twiddling his thumbs not facing the man. Where as the man looks at him leaning against his palm.
