Final Story

The story begins as the main character "Cacci" opens up the refrigerator door. His gigantic eyes begin moving around rapidly to find something that he likes. He finds nothing. Cacci moves around very awkwardly due to the fact that his legs are abnormally small compared to his huge mid-section. Cacci makes it to the couch where his illustrious entertainment center is revealed. The character watches the television for hours without leaving; his daily routine. He turns it on to a music channel where there enormous amounts of bass emitting from his speakers. His neighbors begin to yell, but Cacci is unaffected and continues to turn the volume up. This in turn causes his neighbor to become infuriated and knock on Cacci's front door. Cacci has panic in his eyes and his fear of the outside world becomes apparent to the audience. At this point Cacci shrinks lower into the seat to avoid being seen. He also turns to volume up to dangerous levels to drown out the knocking. By turning it up to maximum levels, Cacci unknowingly causes the foundation of his house to shake. The shaking becomes more violent as the current volume is sustained. Cacci realizes what is happening a second before the houses abruptly collapses around him. He is forced to view the outside world around him. As he looks around he realizes what he has been missing out on. He sees beautiful, vibrant colors around him. His fear turns to joy as he smiles for the first time in many years.
