Clearly not a script in the traditional sense but what a great little story. Excellent title. Congrats.

I have to agree with Warren: This definitely isn't in script format, but the more I read scripts, the more I realize that format isn't everything. A good story is a good story, and this is a good story. My only gripe is the use of the word "torch": I get it. Not everyone uses a flashlight, but I pictured a flaming torch, and not a flashlight, and I had to re-read the block. I thought the robot was going to set something on fire. Jordan

I was the one who took out that option. I loved this story the moment I read it and it stuck with me for days. I decided that it just had to be made. This will be produced as a claymation film. As you can imagine it will be an extremely long process but I look forward to showing everyone the results.

Warren,
I am very glad you picked this up. I very nearly didn't post the work since it wasn't really in screenplay format, however the story was compelling and in the end, I'm glad I did.
Please let us know how this goes.
- Don
As Warren owns the rights to the script, the script was removed from the site. However, I wanted to keep the thread up to spread the good news.

Don, I couldn’t agree more. It’s quite simplistic but it really struck a cord with me. Funny thing is I’m usually on the side of the format police. I’m so glad I gave this one a go.
