Mooms prop - Character and narrative first ideas



I struggled a lot with finding which prop, as the idea and tone of the scene could be completely changed depending what he is reacting to, if it was a small object he may get onto the floor, or do i need a table?

I thought about things like a laptop, then i would have freedom to what was on the laptop, if he didn't get a job, failed uni, failed a competition or game for example. i also thought about the idea of maybe something breaking, or a hobby and something isnt working like maybe a broken string on a guitar.

i considered if he is drunk, mad and if he really believes what he is saying. for the moment i think i have settled on the idea of a flay pack done wrong, or trying to fix something, i feel it could go well, possibly only having the flatpack coming into view half way through or possibly him trying to put it togeather in the first paragraph and it completely falling apart in the second with him falling to the floor as if he has given up.. like me with maya basically.. i know i keep mentioning it but i feel his frustration so i guess at least its something for me to build on.
