Human Kingdom

 Short

All are naked caucasian whites.

Man crouches and crows like a rooster, in a human backyard at dawn. Woman and man are on their hands and knees on the front porch barking and yipping. A montage of humans being other animals, similar to the one in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, hippos, chimpanzees, snakes, spiders, fish, mollusks.

Man in a dark dirty basement noses low to the floor, sniffing for food, like a rat.

Woman hops sporadically in hot wild grass, twitching like an insect.

They are in the wilderness, or normal environments, then they are in cities, parks, apartments, offices, grocers, restaurants, gas stations, factories, banks....

A 14 year old Alyssa sits on her unmade bed at night. Bright bluish-white security light shines through her unobstructed window. Blue light from a smart phone shows her face. She watches and listens to Human Kingdom [what you are reading] .

Her wide eyes water, unblinking. The human kingdom are loud, fast, repetitive, overlapping from the phone speaker.

Kind - Gone

Abruptly we now see a semi-suburban street, something like Silver Lake, near sunset, golden.

Chickens and dogs walk in clothes on sidewalks, like people. We see the POV of a dog, another dog walks in front of us, holding its own leash with its right front paw, leg cartoonishly bending up and back.

Chicken speaks to cell phone, "Did you hear her talking last night?" Dog: "Hey, so, how was the par-ty?" Another: "I almost made it, but I did not, want, to..."

Did you hear her talking last night?

Hey, so, how was the par-ty?

I almost made it, but I did not, want, to...

Random non-human animal in Business suit: "My mergers are projections are 4 plus 2 plus 2."

My mergers are projections are 2 + 2 + 4.

My mergers are projections are 2 + 2 + 4.

My mergers are projections are 4 plus 4 plus 2.
