Comment from Jim Wile
This was a very interesting and well-written story about a man with an affliction that is probably more common than we know. How many times have we spotted a homeless person without knowing their backstory and how they came to this point in their lives.
It's sad that many of them have never received the help they need to be able to make more of their sad lives. Well-told, K. I wonder if he ever got any help. Jim

I think you meant "wandering" instead of "wondering."

Don?t know. It was rather sad to watch this person. Of course there is some creative liberties taken with the story but the take-away was that this person suffered from a mental illness. Thanks for reading and the time to review.

This is a very interesting piece of writing. As a psych nurse, I saw many patients with schizophrenia. You did a good job describing it. There is one edit, "wondering (wandering) the neighborhood." Have a blessed day.

What a shame for this poor guy in the video. These people are often vulnerable to thugs on the streets who make fun and can hurt them. This is an unusual write, very entertaining, love Dolly x

Thanks. It?s a writing prompt that asked for something a bit out of the ordinary. Hopefully I delivered. Thanks for the nice review.

I think you made Jovic a rather endearing character and I feel sorry for him. It seems he has to deal with mean and uncaring people as well as some kind ones despite his mental issues.
In your notes:
or physcotic person might face in there day to day life. (psychotic ...their)

Well, I suppose this is a person speaking to themself. You have an interesting idea for the contest. But, as far as the script aspect goes, you are missing script elements and formatting. I would suggest some rewrites.

I think you`ll find more clarity in the updated version.
Comment from Bill Schott
This script, The Bus Leaving from Split, sets up a great example of the neurotic settling in with regular folks. The addition inset of the twitching myoclonus would certainly amplify the visual.
