Outline
Bela Abelman awakes in her painfully colourful dorm that is covered in animal photos and
girly patterns, everything is neat and tidy exempt from some medical bottles that are
discreetly chucked under her bed, she has a violently strong smile on her face as she is
excited to see her new pet that is in her storage unit.
As she skips out of her flat, she Knocks on her flatmate Daniels door to see if he wants to see
her new pet, he doesn’t answer.
She goes to pick up her cheap imported dog food from an individual who steals animal stock
and sells it on a private market, she meets him in a multi-story car park and asks him what a
good name would be. She asks the man if he has any spare earing-tags in his van, confused as
why she needs this for a dog, but he gives her one anyway.
She then travels to a gas station to see if she can pick up supplies/ sanitizer for the ear-tag,
she asks the worker on what they think a good name would be.
She then heads home and walks past one of her female flatmates Jessica who has just come
back from the gym, they talk about how weird it is that Daniel hasn’t come out his room all
day, Bela has only come back because she has forgotten her keys to the garage where she’s
keeping the pet and leaves to go feed him, before she goes she offers Jessica a bottle of water
as she is clearly out of breath from exercising.
Bela skips to the storage room, and it’s revealed that her pet is a tied up malnourished man/
her flatmate Daniel, she forcefully pushes the tag through his ear and forces him to eat the
dog food.
Meanwhile at her flat, her female flat mate is growing more and more concerned of Daniel
and break in his door to reveal he is missing, and roofline by his bed, she looks into the drink
that Bela gave her and sees specks of a dissolved pill.
Bela suddenly appears behind her just before Jessica passes out and falls to the floor
unconscious.
