This is the strangest Birth day card ever to be received. ”If you had three days left to live, what would you do?”

Fruit flies have natural instinct of reproduction. Cats and dogs survives on instant gratification.

Travelling feel like an outsider, eating generates reluctance for leaving. Loved ones know I love them and too short to create any legacies.

No idea. Hope someone can water my plants if possible.

Actually…. never mind.

Analysis

This story is created using the character we created in class ‘ Sunny’. Sunny likes to disconnect his emotions with the world, living without care or any goals. In a way, he is free. He likes to keep hygienic, has a few air plants on the windowsill, t shirts and genes made up the entire wardrobe. The only time he enjoys to stay connected, is when going online.

I remember first time going online

I remember being born

I remember last time watering Air plant was 4 days ago, still 18 more days to go

I remember people’s murmur

In this opening of Sunny’s transformation to in recognising his desires and exploring the world. We first used a nonchalant monologue calmly answering the strange birthday card. The use of almost scientific and stoic tone reveals his lack of interest in life. He precisely dissects his thoughts, observes them to grant logic to emotions. He refuses to feel and forces himself into the position of an observer of the world.

In the end, with the help of an online friend and his mother, he finally faces his wishes and desires. But still continues to live as he is.
