Fade In
Enter a young man, about 5'8 , short brown hair and light brown eyes. Walks slowly toward a bench as the camera zooms out to get the whole picture. The Setting: the boardwalk, the beach in the background.
The young man sits there quietly and looks up into the sun and stares across the deep blue sea. Watches the birds fly over head and squints his eyes in the sun trying to see the boats from a distance. With the sun in his eyes and the breeze brushing along his face, a tear forms out of his right eye. The tear drop falls down onto the wooden bench and the spot twinkles in the sunlight. The young man quickly wipes his eyes inorder for no one to see or assume he is crying. He did this because he was insecure or afraid someone might think differently of him.
Sometimes he wishes he could just wish upon a star...
so people wouldn't assume the littlest things are true. This young man had a lot of dreams and many people put him down. This made him fear more of what others thought.
The young man sat back and soaked up the last drop of sun left in the sky before it starts to set in the ocean's distance. He closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. The young man was satisfied where he was. He had no fear except that tear drop that formed and people assuming something else. This made him realize that why should he be afraid of what others think. He shouldn't care. He should be happy that he is satisfied with himself right now. He's sitting on a bench facing the beach with the sunsetting in the distance and a perfect breeze hitting his face. Why should he fear anything?
He took one more deep breathe and quickly jumped through the railing that divided the beach and the boardwalk and ran toward the ocean. He quickly slid off his sandals as he continued running without falling. He took off his white t-shirt then took everything out of his pockets and wrapped it up in his shirt, he threw it to the ground and ran into the ocean. His feet slid right on the sand where the waves crash in. He dove his whole body into the water and floated ontop. He sat there laying on his back and let the sun sink through his body with the last light of the day. He smiled and layed there until it became cool and the sun's rays were slowly dissapearing into the distance. The young man walked slowly out of the water and walked toward the sand. He then turned around and faced the ocean, he sat down. He just watched the sun dissappear and waited for the moon and the dark sky to be revealed. He laid down on his back.
He was waiting for the stars to come out.
