I had a crazy idea for a flash, I saw it in a dream.
Problem is I cannot animate anywhere near the level I need to be satisfied with it
Basically I just want to throw it out there to anyone interested, but I would like credit if you do
Essentially it's the story of a bear
A bear that two orphan boys find as a cub in the forest outside their home at the orphanage.
Although reluctant at first the headmaster lets them keep it, only because it has the odd behavior of a dog.
The bear rolls and licks, roars like barking, and even does tricks. The boys name him Beuford.
When the boys are adopted they take Beuford with them. To their new home, their new parents and their new life.
Their parents, a nurse and fireman respectively, raise them in a happy home. Then everything changes one September day in 2001. Three years later the boys, now 20 and 21. Enlist in the war. While on tour their parents die of complications obtained at the WTC site.
The only thing left is Beuford.
When the boys return home they decide to live in their parent's home with Beuford until they get jobs. However, while Boy 1 manages to get a good job the other becomes riddled with debts and drug addicted. Eventually he resorts to the unthinkable.
He has Beuford fight in underground gang shows where Beuford is attacked by multiple dogs at once and tortured for money.
When Boy 1 finds out he is outraged. He sees Beuford, scarred and beaten with a Glasgow Smile hastily stiched up and covered in bandages.
Boy 1 flies into a rage and the two brothers begin fighting, releasing years of bitterness at their lot in life and the treatment of Beuford.
After the fight the two boys weep uncontrollably and let everything out. The grief over the death of their parent's, the war, the drugs, etc.
Afterwards they notice Beuford ran away. They search for hours to find him, and when Boy 2 finds him Beuford runs in fear. They continue looking until they reach the old orphanage. He is dead in front of the building, shot by worried police officers.
Afterwards Boy 2, collapsing under all the psychological stress commits suicide, and Boy 1 lives the next few years of his life numb. Until one day when he returns to the orphanage in need of a new headmaster. Boy 1 returns and finds happiness, reminiscing about days before all his problems. Days with Boy 2, and Beuford.
It was a whacked out dream
