The Falling

2025 · 15 min

A short, uneasy chamber piece that turns a routine procedure into something quietly unsettling, keeping you alert for what lurks beneath the surface.

Overview
When Jiminy tries to move, he feels like he's falling, so he makes an appointment with Dr. Scanlon, a government-certified psychoanalyst and dreamcather, to extract his past trauma. The procedure is routine, and Dr. Scanlon begins without concern until he discovers something locked in Jiminy's subconscious that he didn't expect.
How it feels
Eerie, tense, absurd and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
