Story Synopsis

2010-11-11T03:55:00.000-08:00

A man covered from head to toe in post-it notes is presented with two new tasks by his boss. The only space on the man’s body not covered by post-its is over his eyes. He is forced to blind himself before heading out into the streets. Blinded he stumbles out in front of a large street sweeper and is swept out along the garbage.
He wakes up in a junkyard, in the desert where birds have been picking at his post-its. In trying to recover them, he sees that he is far outside the city he lived in.A new task appears to him, to get across the desert and back home, but in his way is a wall of thorny bushes, a river, and the harsh desert wind, all of them eager to steal his post-it. When he reaches the gates of the city he is left with only one post-its, the one urging him to get back home. He sees that his journey has changed him and that in order to live he can no longer be in the city. He decides to give up his former life and return to the desert.
