When the unrecognized becomes the recognized

Night dripped over the last light of the blazing sun exposing the crescent moon rising above east. A laptop screen brightens a dark room which the display representing an unfinished animated character. A sophisticated young man taps his pencil on his desk and sits back on a chair contemplating on another idea of how to make the design appear more perfect. Marlon, a young man with dark short hair that is neatly groomed as he's keeping up with the latest trends and possesses a muscular body of those of an athlete. On the other hand, he finds interest in designing and creating animated characters. Marlon's ambition is to create animation and become one of the world's greatest animators. He later becomes distracted by a shooting star so he shifts the laptop facing the opening of a wardrobe and pulls out a sheet which appears to be the only civilized of the few. Marlon then pulls the bed towards the window and lies under the moonlight then slowly fell asleep leaving the character's display on the screen. He wakes up the next morning with a headache but still attempts to get ready for work. Marlon works at a science faculty called Marine Biology Department. Although all his life he wishes to pursue a career in animation he has to stick with dissecting frogs, collecting seaweeds and catching butterflies but still he will do anything to win that career title. Marlon begins playing before he then went over to his colleague, Gillette and begins having a conversation with her explaining how species adapt and evolve to their environment is quite fascinating as they produce offspring which have the same features. They however cuts authority as their boss, Jess enters the room. He scolds Marlon for breaking one the equipment he used while collecting butterflies telling him that their expensive. He then apologizes and tells him that he will be more careful. Marlon later rushes home out of the pouring rain, since he's drenched as he enters the house he quickly takes a bath. He then sits around his desk and finishes up an experiment for his job. The light starts flickering and he struggles to see, so he walks towards it attempting to change the bulb. As Marlon walks towards the wall he touches something on the wall and quickly shifts his hand. It was a moth, he didn't see it because it was the same color of the wall and he watches it in amaze as it flew out of the window. He hurriedly changes the bulb and went back to his desk, forgetting about his experiment, he sketches an image of the moth he then uses this to redesign the character he has been working on before. As he finally completes it he sees in excitement as he has created a perfect characters then he sits back in his chair and stares at the screen. The next morning, Marlon jumps up and gets dressed because he took time off work to visit the Facility of Animation Development. He then grabs his laptop off his desk and rushes out the house. He happily waits at the bus stop and reminisce that he tries for years in order to get a change to enter the building and get to face his dream place. As the bus stops at foot, he enters and search anxiously for a seat. Marlon gets off the bus and enters the building he gazes around and feels comfortable in the environment as it warms him he observe what he relates to. Large posters and graphics of the best animated characters design by world-known animators themselves. Marlon gives off existence due to his excitement, he later became noticed by a man. This gives him an idea and then he decided to approach Marlon.

"young man, I see you find joy in what you see, mhmm?."

"Are…are you talking to me sir?"

"Should I?"

One of the world's best scientist in.. in my presence, talking to me. It's a honor sir Ednard ,how can I be of assistance?"

"Shouldn't you be taking football lessons, young man?"

"Should I be?"

Professor Ednard look at him and smirks.

"Well, since you're interested in these kind of things you wouldn't mind if I expose you to something even more fascinating I should say, or am I wasting my time

"Sigh, well then perhaps I said too much I just be on my way."

" Wait sir!, I'm all ears."

(Smirks) "walk with me. You see I'm here because I'm working with one on the world's biggest man in animation history, Michael Azzrope, he's much funnier than his name is(laughs). I've accompanied him on a project that helps to prevent the extinction of human species as the human population is increasing and there's not enough infrastructure to facilitate this outcome. We created Earth's clone,a world called Ednyryth. No spaceship is needed to evacuate earth as we can ejaculate humans through a machine before Earth's destruction. However, to find out if it's suitable for survival we need people like you who is willing to do such."

"I see, risky but exciting, but what's in it for me?."

-------

"How about you get to work side by side with one of the best animator himself?"

"Whoa pile me up baby, umm, where should we start?"

"That's marvelous Ednard." Without a doubt I feel this young lad has hit the jack pot."

A tall man entered the room and intervenes them. He has paled skin, short blonde hair and has a bone structure of those of a model.

"But remember professor Ednard, you forgot to tell him he's needs to adapt to this new world based on the environmental status. Are you willing to risk it all, boy?"

Marlon stares at him and before answering his question he gently take out his laptop and place it on nearest table and proceeds to make his work pops up on screen.

"Take a look at my work probably this will answer your question"

They both look at his works and stares at the screen.

"That's quite marvelous boy and I see you're willing to risk it all but I have to say I'm giving you time whether you need it or not to come up with your conclusion. You're young, bad decisions leads to bad consequences."

I'll make Ednard escort you out, Ednard sir, may you?

(Clears throat) why not."

They then tried to escort him out but Marlon took up his laptop and walks out in disappointment and kicks a bag of rubbish putting his frustration out as nothing he tried in his life never works out for him. He then decided to go home.
