Pop was all that too anyone ever called him and he liked that it gave him respect and dignity and he thought that was nice until one day he looked in a mirror and discover that he was being called pop because he was old. So he decided to do something.In all Pop that was only fifty four and compare to some he was a young man still, but not to Pop .The scene opens with Pop looking in a mirror....................................................................
<POP>
Pop ( voice could be done by anyone I had in mind maybe Danny Devito )
Pop
God then I'm old
everyone was right .
Around him then too Pop then could hear classical music playing but there is nothing or no one there, he shook his head as he still stood there .He then looks at himself from head to toe smiling . He was not that old,not compared to some who noawadays people lived to be at least seventy or eighty at the most ,healthy that is .
Pop
I think I need a
change in my life .
Then the scene changes as we see Pop getting into a classic car then that he used but no one in fact ever uses cars any more,they neither use their jet packs which are easily made and sold for or nowadays then too they had a moving sidewalk .The future had arrived but Pop never did .
Pop
Technology
I'll show them
Starting up the car then he drove tt out of the garage and never paid attention to the stares or names he got,he kept driving long and fast his life was a lonely one .Then he turns on the radio listening to Johnny Cash he had loved the past everything and everyone he knew existed in the past
Johnny
Ring of fire
the ring of fire
Pop then like music from the past just like movies or books everything now he thought was to future,technology again he could never get use to it .He then too like the past,everything was a lot easier too handle. Life indeed too was easier technology had not overtaking everying yet .
Pop
Old I'll show
them old I
Pop then usually on one of his long drives would just keep driving until he in fact would end up lost and not knowing where he was ,would then tell people he just arrive and was looking for someone,sometimes a friend sometimes family member .
Pop
I lost my family
my name is
Jones is there
anyone by that
name here ?
But no one then knew anyone name Jones but eventually someone would let him stay with them until he found who he was looking for or would just give up and go to the next city and do it over again .But Pop would suddenly realize that his welcome was wearing thin and leave .
Pop
Thought that
someone
would find
out what I
was doing
And then he was to right the woman he last stay with, Emma Hendricks was cleaning up his room when she saw empty bullet shells and what look like a buildings's plans to get inside of it ,there was then even an X marks the spot where someone was going too then try too break in . As he too then was driving Pop put the gun he bought under the drivers seat and pushed on the gas pedal,he then wanted too get this over,other cars passed him by or let him pass and the sun was setting now it was then becoming night .
Then the scene change as Pop got near a wooded area .
Pop
Now then
is the
time
Pop then stopped the car grabbed the gun and with all his might he pushed the car into the woods,covering the car with branches and leaves then using a shovel he buried the gun, now as he knew the land lady would eventually find the blank shells but Pop buried the real shells with the gun and as night came he slept in a makeshift hut and knew he had to stay here until the excitement would be over about the blank shells then he would move on .
Pop
Tomorrow Another City
Being fed up with people and technology Pop lived in the woods though with change his mind had a hard time adjusting and adapting to it thats why he started his what he called threatening act,he never really hurt anyone or killed anyone because he was to old to have any strength .
In one scene then we see a flashback as Pop who just turn 50 was asked by Hendricks to move because of not paying the rent,he immediately decline too and instead started harassing the other neighbors .She called the police but the officer that arrived told her there was a new law that states anyone over 50 cannot be vaccated from their homes no matter what the reason, because it was unethical to do so .
Hendericks
I have to put
up with this old
stiff for as long
The officer warned her not to say any more because one day she would be old too . She smiled and thank the officer reluctant,I think Emma Stone would be great as the land lady . Trying to make it on her own .
Hendericks
All right you
can stay but you
need to behave
Then the police officer look at Pop and he nodded ,but for the next four years at least until he turn 54 Pop stayed in the apartment trying to be on his best behaviour which was saying much about Pop .Then the scene changes and again but as Pop sits in his hut he had a flashback he was not 54 any more he was 20 and he and his girlfriend Jenna were walking on the local boardwalk ,it was then too her birthday,she just turn 20 herself .
Jenna
Thankyou . The
best birthday I
ever had, I love
you you know
Pop turn and kiss her,in tthe entire story Pop's name is never mentioned at all . No one then knows who he was or is at all .In the years following Pop had missed Jenna more then he knew thats why he acted the way he did or did what he did . He then had missed the only person that cared for him .Suddenly then as Pop was inside his hut he heard a sound ,not very familiar to him at all, Pop then reached for his gun, there should not be anyone else around,no one knew he was here no one .
POP
Whos there?
I have guns
Go away now
But then the sound of someone moving outside continued and Pop held onto his gun as he stood and started out of the hut .He then took a deep breath it was unusually quiet now he saw only a squirell as it moved around and was trying too find nuts or something too eat. It was then getting cold ,winter was coming soon and even Pop had to get ready .
