“TROTA” (The Realm of the Animals) was born out of a curiousity in the Buddhist religion. “TROTA” follows a teen boy who, after dying from cancer, is reincarnated into a snail. In the realm of the animals, Peter has a chance to live more fully than he did in his human life. But, will he make the most of it? This story is formatted as a script for a 10-minute short, as it was created as an assignment for a short-form script writing class.

Below are the first five pages of “TROTA.” Happy reading!
