Synopsis
The jaded subway operator in NYC finds his life repetitive and tedious. Once he and fellow passengers turn into toads, the operator explores through portals to find what causes the transformation.
Purpose
After several over-nights in a row at work, I was in a subway car looking out the window. Seeing reflection of myself ?I looked way too much aged compared to the day before.
Contemplating while looking at the reflection changing in every split of second, I saw something moving from the back of the lights. It could have been a homeless person, or an abnormal creature. Seeing the unknown in dark ?it was striking.
I immediately realized it was a reflex of my desire wanting something new, something to explore. My life was repetitive with a bunch of 몊ame-old, same-old뭩. Bits and bits of my thoughts started to float.
That night, lying on my bed, the floating pieces of my thoughts were gathered into my notes.
Here, I question: Are you living in the world that you dreamed of?
