Osama the Hero
About this book
"I never know when things are funny, so what I do is wait until someone else starts laughing and then I join in, quick as I can and hope I haven't got in too late because there's nothing worse than being left out in the cold with a laugh hanging.People laugh a lot nowadays. I think that's fear." Gary's not stupid. He just dares to see the world differently. In the classroom and on the estate he provokes without intent. When another act of violence unsettles those around him, Gary must take the blame.

Inside the now burnt out and blown up garage. GARY sits on a charred chair, hands tied behind his back, gaffer tape over his mouth. FRANCIS stands, staring at him. Walks around him, behind him. Pulls out a single white-bread sandwich in clingfilm. Eats it, thinking. Folds up the clingfilm and puts it back in his pocket. Sits around in front of GARY on a box. Stares at him. Somehow, through his fear, GARY manages to feel embarrassed and looks away.
FRANCIS: Dâyou know who I am?
No answer.
Oi.
Oi.
Oi, you.
Sâalright, Iâm just asking you a question.

Do you know who I am?
GARY doesnât know what to do. Eventually he shakes his head.
What you mean, you donât know who I am? How do you not know who I am? So youâve got no idea?
GARY shakes his â
Donât shake your head.
So youâve got no idea who I am?
Beat.
No-one ever said anything to you about me?
Beat.
I know who you are, a piece of shit like you, I know all about you and your little presentation, yes, thatâs right, we know all about that. We have ears, Gary. And youâre saying you havenât even got a fucking clue who I am, like no-one on this estate has ever said a word to you about me, ever?
Pause. GARY nods.
