Theme: My idea was born from a sociological concept I heard
a few years ago: Society regulates itself not because it wants to, but because
it feels watched. This means that a person does not steal not because he thinks
it is wrong to steal, but because he knows that if he does the community will judge
him. But he could steal and not let anyone knows about it; however, in the
society we have built we have created the idea that we are always being watched.
That’s why there are cameras everywhere that are reminding us that someone is
watching us (even when those cameras are not working).
The story: it is based on a circular city, where all the windows
are looking towards the inside of the city. There are no windows looking to the
outside. There is a tower in the middle of the city which is higher than every other
building. This tower does not have stairs or doors; it is just a big cylindrical
column. At the top of the tower there are two beings, one is blue and the other
one is red. Everything else is black and white.
These characters are the keepers of the city and they play
with the lives of the citizens that never look up. However, one day, Blue and
Red are playing dumb at the top of the tower and a cup of tea feels and almost
hits a citizen. Then, this new character starts noticing the two weird beings,
so they decide to play “who kills the guy first”. Every time they try to kill
him, he finds a way to trick them and save his life. The keepers will play with
dice to see who the next to try to take his life is.
That’s how the story is going right now. I will make another
post to talk more about the characters soon.
