Story Edits...Must Catch Up

Haunted Printer:

Rather than go through a tedious morning, Bob will be in the office late, after an office Halloween Party. Working on his computer finishing his work and oblivious to his surroundings.
In another part of the office a window creeps open and a ghostly haze makes its way into the office and settles over the office printer, possessing it. The printer's viewport shows ghostly red eyes.
Bob hits print on his computer and casually gets up and makes his way towards the now possessed printer, unaware of its new host. As he goes to retrieve the printed page Bob pulls back in horror as the printer growls and snaps open its top revealing the now terrifying demonic printer.

From here we can go into scooby doo style chase scenes. Bob jumping up on the break room table screeching like a frightened house wife on a chair frightened by a mouse. Running past another late night employee working in his cubicle who could care less about the passing events.

Eventually a confrontation between bob and the printer, Bob grabs a mop tustles with the printer a bit,
he could have the printer chase him and eventually trick him to flying out the window, and as the printer crashes out the window, the page that Bob printed could slowly fall to the floor. Bob will casually pick it up and continue on as if the event never occurred.

Character Development

My character's name is Bob. Bob is a mellow, apatehtic guy. He comes from a small little family that lives right next to the dump. Bob's Dad was a sewer Monster and his mom was a dump dweller. Bob grew up on the surface and went to school with all the regular kids in his neighborhood, for the most part he didn't get picked on too much. If the other kids pushed him too far he blew a fuse and went kinda berserk. Bob lives for the most part in solitude. His parents were killed in his late teens from a large stack of flattened cars falling on his house. Ever since then Bob has lived alone.
Bob grew up to work at a software company and delivers the mail from desk to desk. He keeps to himself for the most part. There are a variety of monsters mixed in with normal folks in his world. Due to Bob's passive aggressive nature, he can snap from time to time.

Toll Booth Story:

It's a pretty good commute from the dump to Bob's office, about 15 miles. Every morning as Bob leaves his quaint little house at the dump, he must pass through an automated toll booth. There is only one booth, a small little rickety box with a bar that raises up and down when the correct amount of change is inserted. On top of the box are two lights, one green and the other red. Upon inserting 35 cents in the basket on the front of the box, the light switches from the red to the green and the bar raises allowing passage. It seems no matter the case every day this little booth gives Bob problems, as if it were conscious and did so on purpose.
As Bob pulls up to the booth one particular morning he realizes that he has no change. Rather than look through his car for treasures buried between the seats, he slowly bumps the bar blocking his way, reverses a little bit, then bumps the bar again. To Bob's excitement the bar begins to raise only to slam right back down. Bob decides to give it a second try, only this time with a bit more force. He backs up a little bit further and rams the bar. The bar pushes back opposite Bob's car but springs back slamming into his car with a bit of a thud. Beginning to become a little frustrated Bob gets out and kicks the machine, as soon as he does so the light turns green and the bar lifts, but as soon as he gets back into his car the bar slams back down. So Bob does the same a second time, quickly sprinting back to the car to try and dash through only to crash into the bar just as it crashes down. Bob, getting frustrated at this point picks up a rock and throws it at the box, this raises the bar and he goes to drive through but the bar crashes down on the hood of his car. At this point Bob is done so he continues forward with the Bar on the hood of the car, it goes but in doing so scrapes a huge line of paint off the car all the way back. Making the most annoying high pitched scraping noise, worse than nails on a chalkboard. Bob doesn't really care once through, puts back on his apathetic face and sets out to make his commute to work.

Concepts

Hello class. Here are some concepts that I have for our project.

The first concept is about a chef that can't stop eating everything he makes. A chef that is a foodaholic. Hilarity ensues as the waiters can't get any food out of the kitchen. Customers complain, staff gets mad, etc.


The second concept I have is about a realistic looking duck living in a cartoon world, sort of a reverse Roger Rabbit effect...Story goes on as he looks for his place in this world, an outcast with hope to find happiness.



Third concept is about a Turtle that is afraid of the dark and gets lost in the woods. As he meets scary monsters and dangers, he cannot hide in his shell like a normal turtle because of his fear.


Fourth Idea I have is about a very skinny Monkey that is a picky eater. He gets thinner and thinner, his monkey friends bring him all kinds of food to try and find something that he enjoys. (I see that someone else has a picky eater idea....mine will most likely change now....I am thinking add a piano...BAM....now this will be a PIANO PLAYING MONKEY!!! Problem solved.)



The Fifth and final idea is about a Monster named Bob who works as a software engineer and hates his job....he works with normal everyday people and no one seems to mind that he is a monster, but he finally snaps and starts eating everyone.
