this piece of narrative writing is based upon the poem the right word which was given to me as my piece of the anthology and it also has a partial influence from the film night crawler.

As Michael entered the warehouse he had a slight feeling of worry as he could hear creaking of floor boards above him. He turned around and saw that his camera crew were still taking the equipment out the van. “I’m going to have a search around” he said “Marcus,give me a spare cam corder so I can get footage of the place and If i find anything I’ll call you OK?”Marcus nodded,gave it to him and Michael set of into the warehouse looking around with the cam corder in his hand ready to catch anything moving. It turned out that the creaking on the floor was because of a few rats that were attacking each other over the last of what he thought was moldy cheese. He went back down stairs very disappointed and to his surprise the camera crew were holding a pink slip looking at Michael with sympathy in their eyes. “What’s that?” Said Michael pointing the cam corder at it.”it’s yours read it “said Marcus. On the pink slip it had a few big words that Michael ignored but still got the main idea. “I-I’m sacked? Wh-why” he muffled. ” well you haven’t had a crime caught on camera for 3 months I’m sorry but L.A news don’t have time for this” said the sound boy “i would leave too but” “but what” interrupted Michael “the damn pay?” “No my mum owns L.A news if I leave she wouldn’t speak to me again.” But Michael wasn’t listening he placed his helmet on his head threw Marcus’ cam corder on the floor and cursed, jumped on his mo ped and left.

The main story line is of a sacked crime scene recorder finding a dead body alongside his roommate. The next passage will explain what his home looks like and how he found the body that gets him back his job. I will start on that passage tomorrow.

Michael’s apartment suits him. messy. but he wasn’t the only person living there at the time. ‘his roommate with benefits’ Lyra sanders was lying down on their bed sleeping. Michael looked with tears in his eyes.how will he be able to tell her? he tried to take of his clothes without waking her but he was too clumsy. fell and made a bang on the floor. “what the hell?” asked Lyra. “you woke me up mikey”. “sorry Lyra” said Michael,looking at the floor while he speaks. “whats wrong?” “well you see L.A news have decided that i’m not good enough for them” “what!!! how could they you’re the best thing to ever happen to that show.” “i know i cant believe either i’m so angry right now”. And he burst into tears going up to the bed looking for a hug from Lyra. “I know what would cheer you up” she whispered in his ear. and she got up and took of her gown showing nothing but her breast and panties. Michael managed to create a smile took of her panties and brought her onto the bed.
after 30 minutes of heaven with Lyra, Michael had gotten out of bed still holding Lyra’s waist and said “come with me to the bar” and she followed him (obviously wearing decent clothes now) until they came across a bag not longer than 6ft7″ and on top of it says here lies a paki . Lyra screamed as Michael opened the bag. a short man with a chin strap beard was squashed in the bag michael ran away leaving his roommate frozen looking at the body. he went straight to Marcus’ house took the cam corder and went back to the scene. “as you can see here” he said while pointing the cam corder at the bag “someone has killed a man and left his dead body in this gym bag, it seems like this was a deliberate attack as on the note it only states that the person is a paki but not telling us his real name.”
” wh-what the fuck are you doing?” Lyra chocked.
“getting my damn job back”
“but that is cruel you should have phoned the police when you had the chance”
” but i need this job to take care of us, we are a unit we need to survive”
“but you shouldn’t use footage of dead people…you don’t even know who killed this innocent man.”
“yeah? well when and if i get my job back my old team will stop at nothing to
