Variety Training: Dont Try This at Home

[Possum Person GFX]

The scene begins in darkness, silence. There is a small light in the distance, like looking down a long tunnel. The light seems to be growing, and as it gets more visible, we can begin to decipher colors and shapes. The light is almost filling our vision when we notice that the light is actually a torch. We follow the pale hand that holds that torch, up the arm, and to a man. The man is tall and slim and he seems to be running with the torch. There are figures behind him but they are still too dark to identify. As the man gets closer the flaws in his running are clear, as he continues he lifts his knees to his chest or higher with each stride. He has a look of horror on his face as he sprints down the stretch of dark. The scene freezes and the man is left with one knee almost hitting him in the stomach and the other leg just barely off the ground. Text appears on the screen in front of the man, it reads

Bryan Variety
“Shooting Star”

The scene continues and Bryan runs past the camera barely noticing it. Then as we look back is a huge swarm of some sort of insect following close behind him. One of the bugs lands on the lens of the camera and now it is clear it is some sort of bee. The scene freezes once again and text appears in front of the bee, it reads

Yellow Jackets
“Angry Insects”

The scene returns with the camera operator falling to the floor and the swarm continuing its pursuit on Variety. The camera turns to view down the expanse of darkness; Bryan looks over his shoulder and notices the insects. He lets out a loud whimper and continues his awkward sprint. It also reveals another light only a few yards away leading into a seemingly large forest and several thorn bushes. We can hear Bryan as he curses just before he jumps into the thorns. More text appears on the screen now and it reads

“Not Recommended”

Then the scene fades to blackness.
