Abyss

SUMMARY

A young boy is granted a wish to see his dead dog one last time but only if he can survive the journey to the very bottom of his heart.

Abyss is an experience that embodies life's deepest struggles about death, failure and heartbreak. It represents the overwhelming hole we sometimes find ourselves in, where everything feels insurmountable and climbing out seems impossible. We dig these holes without realizing, carving both a prison and a path. The obstacles we face are the very walls we built ourselves and we must confront them to climb back toward the light. With each descent into darkness, the challenges grow more difficult and dangerous than the last, but no matter how endless it seems, there is always a way out… even if you have to make it yourself.

STORY

After his dog dies, the boy cries himself to sleep and wakes up on a strange tropical beach beneath a star filled sky. As he turns around, he notices a lonely bar in the distance with a glowing sign that reads Rock Bottom. Inside, a skeleton in a Hawaiian shirt quietly cleans glasses behind the counter. He calls himself Death.

Death offers the boy a choice to descend into the basement and discover a world hidden deep within himself. After walking down the stairs, the boy opens a door that locks behind him. There is no handle, no way to turn back, only forward. 

Beyond the door, through a trash filled room buried in darkness, he discovers an ancient mirror. The mirror speaks of a place known as The Abyss, a surreal dimension between dreams, life and death. A realm where humanity’s deepest wishes can be granted but only to those who survive the journey to the very bottom of their own heart.

The mirror tells him he can see his dead dog again. Blinded by grief and hatred, the impulsive boy does not hesitate as he jumps inside.
