Storyboard


There was a baby, and he was abandoned by his parents by a sewer. He managed to keep himself alive by eating any living things in the sewer like rats and insects. He had never met anyone and he doesn't know how to speak and communicate.
20 years later, his body got adapted to the environment. He now has webbed feet and fingers. His skin is pale and slimy. He has become a creature, half human half creature that is.
It's evolution. He developed an incredible crawling skill, but sadly his feet were undeveloped. He couldn't walk.

One day, this creature was adventuring through the pipes and tunnels, anywhere he can fit into. Suddenly he saw a flashing light on the ceiling, he tried very hard to climb up to the light just to take a look what the light is. It was a gutter and people were walking all over it in daylight. This creature was shocked at how people were walking, but their feet and not crawling. He soon realized that he couldn't do that. He felt hurt because he felt like he's something else. He doesn't even look like the people living above him!

After that day, he kept thinking about feet. He's obsessed with them. He wanted, to have feet like the people. He wanted to walk. One day he heard someone coming through the sewer, he went and peek, they were the sewer workers. This creature captured them and started chopping their legs off. But who would ever understand this creature, he didn't know what is right and what is wrong. The only thing he knew was right, was he's happy.



One day, a 5 year old kid named Oli was playing hide and seek with his friends. He thought it'd be a really good idea to hide in the sewers. As he  walked along the sewers, he suddenly saw the creature. Oli didn't scream, unlike the sewer workers. The creature was shocked how he reacted and he had never seen a person so small! Oli broke the silence and asked who he is. The creature couldn't talk. So Oli named him Brian and promised him to bring him chocolate next time. Oli squatted down to take a better look at him since the creature didn't seem harmful. The creature did the same, mostly wondering why this little boy didn't run away from him. Oli slowly reached out to grab his hands, and examined. Oli smiled in excitement telling the creature how awesome his fingers looked like. For once, the creature felt like himself. Someone admired his features just like he did to the people. His name is Brian.

The next day, little Oli came by the sewers again, this time with a few bars of chocolate. He shouted for Brian but no one replied. He kept walking and walking. Suddenly he fell into this deep end and because he's so little, he didn't know how to swim.

Brian heard the scream and quickly crawled to Oli's rescue. Luckily Brian can swim faster and anyone else, and Oli was saved. When he woke up, he gave Brian his chocolate. Brian had never tasted anything like that before. It was sweet and creamy. It melted in his mouth unlike the crunchy insects and the rough flesh of the rats. Since that day Brian and Oli had been having a lot of fun. Oli taught him how to speak, even though little Oli's english is not good either. Since that day, Brian seemed to have forgotten about his obsession towards feet. He had found something more amusing, something more important than his own feeling, Oli's existence. For months they have been having fun.


One day, Oli came to the sewers to see Brian as usual. He wasn't around, so Oli thought he should go around the sewers, epxloring this place a bit more before Brian comes back. He went until he found this door. He opened it. The smell of death engulfed him and the image he saw in front of his is an art of insanity. Blood everywhere, pieces of flesh were hanged on the ceiling. Oli turned around and tried to run away when he was Brian right behind him. Brian's heart sank. He told Oli to stop so he could explain to him but Oli didn't listen. He was in too much shock. Brian was trying his best to catch up with Oli but Oli was too fast, and Brian can't run as fast as he could.






 Oli got out of one of the gutter and Brian followed. Brian didn't care about anything but his only friend. He showed himself to the crowd on broad day light. Someone spotted him and started screaming. People were so scared they called the police. Brian tried to run, but the fear from the people made him so nervous he doesn't know what to do. He was trapped. The noise was driving him insane.


The police came and shot Brian right at his heart. Oli heard the gunshot, saw the crowd and quickly ran to the area. He saw Brian lying on the floor, with red blood surrounding him, gasping for air. Oli ran and grabbed him, cradling his head in his arms. Brain told Oli with his last breath, that he only wanted to run like him, and to run with him. Brian lost his breath. A rare human being died in Oli's arms.
