I opened this in FD7 and some of your text was off. You had some action as a scene heading, some dialogue as action etc. You can reformat this quite easily in FD.

A few typos and spelling errors. It should be 'Come on' not 'Common'. The BOLD MAN should be a BALD MAN unless you're referring to his personality. It should be 'Phil waves' not 'waives'

(V.O) is not sufficient for a character heading. Since you introduce Alan immediately after his first speech, you might as well use his name here.

The dialogue is good and for the most part it sounds authentic, especially the TV presenter. Your description is pretty solid too.

Overall, a pretty good short. You write well but I wasn't all that engaged in the story.

I can't read it in fdr format.  In the future, you might want to consider using a more common format (like .doc or .pdf) to get more reviews.  Just my 2 cents.

I like the central idea, but I think maybe if you got the characters bewildering inside the turmoil, It should be like a blackhearted story...

In FD7 you can save as PDF, RTF, or HTML. The PDF file sizes are huge but if you save as RTF you can use a free online converter such as CutePDF- do a google search.
