That final line blended beautifully into the ending. Excellently done. With so many post-apocalyptic shorts doing the rounds it's rare to find a really good one. Kudos to you.

@local9 4 года назад

That ending was jolting, it hit. "You smile, but you wanna cry. You talk, but you wanna be quiet. You pretend like you’re happy, but you aren’t." Which is why some sit, with no guns, and have a drink.

Really excellent work on this short! Great dialogue, direction & camera work. At the end when I realized I’d been duped 🙂, I thought about the “chatty crazy friend” and how that must been this guy’s inner dialogue just running nonstop - otherwise why keep such an annoying person around? The title initially got my interest and the dialog reeled me in. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing.

Wow. I cannot believe how well they executed a situation I've been through. I was in a survival situation with a manic schizoaffective man. I have a hard time with manic people. I think tolerating him was as traumatic as having my life in danger, but we had to depend on each other. It wasn't his fault, but man...sometimes I thought about pushing him off.
