Synopsis/Details
Three strangers, whose names reflect their particular personality types, awake in an unfamiliar room, with no way out. Their disorientation quickly becomes aggravation as each person exemplifies annoying traits. Black Cloud is the smelly, vanilla doused youngster of the group, who believes aliens have abducted the trio, and pouts periodically to prove it. Tornado has to be the center of attention. She comes in, messes everything up, and moves along; figuratively so, in this case. No answer is good enough. Junior, the sole male of the group, is taken with himself and his undeniable leadership qualities. Convinced he should be the one to lead them out of the fray, he digs into his 'murse' for the pen and notepad which do not actually count for anything. During their tenure in this room, they speculate on who and why they're being held. Junior is convinced that he's the one they wanted, and the other two were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Black Cloud believes that aliens have come to Earth to exterminate our species. Tornado is along for the ride, and simply unhappy to be in the company of the other two. While the have a couple of short conversations with their captor, the exchange does little to help them understand their plight. Ultimately, they decide to ignore the situation and hope for the best. Through luck and impatience, the group accidentally find the hidden doorway leading to their escape. Behind it, a camera and banner of Congratulations. In the hidden room on the other side of the prison, are two cloaked puppeteers, happily predicting their YouTube channel success.
