o f t h e C a v e
A group of prisoners sit in a cave and see shadows
on a wall. Casted by puppet masters behind
them. Phantoms of real-world entities. Until one
prisoner escapes.
He leaves the cave and goes to the outside world.
Instead of seeing phantoms of a tree, he sees a
real tree as its leaves blew in the wind. He realises
that the shadows are false and heads back inside
to tell his companions.
As he heads inside, he stumbles as he became
used to the outside world. Seeing this and
hearing his shocking revelation - they reject and
kill him. Afraid to face the truth within the lies.
