This is a webseries I wrote and produced in 2013 for the New York Television Festival Comedy Central Short Pilot competition. It was a finalist but did not win.

Real life can be pretty rough. Fantasies are much more fun.

Our protagonist sees his coworkers as puppets. They don’t like him, either.

Everyone is having fun this weekend, except our lonely and delusional protagonist.

He wonders what it would feel like to be wanted.

This episode answers the question “why isn’t there a pizza-themed superhero?”

Apparently, the whole time he’s been living in his fantasies, there have been a lot of interesting storylines happening that we missed.

In the final episode, the true monster is revealed (spoiler: it’s the main character).
