  I'm glad you guys liked it! Thank you, sincerely, for the votes and the kind words. We're crossing our fingers as the competition is definitely tough.
  
  cortes, I wasn't quite sure of the origin of the story, so I asked our writer, Isaac Finkbeiner about the origin of the story. Here was his response:
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I was sitting in my room brainstorming for ideas for the assignment in which [Toilet] Story came from. The TV was on and there was an episode of "Friends" playing. Yeah haha I watch Friends occasionally, so what of it! Anyway, one of the characters on the show, I believe it was Chandler, did something really bad to this girl he was seeing. I can't remember what exactly, something like dumping her on her birthday or whatever. Feeling really bad about it he said "Oh man, in my next life I'm coming back as a toilet brush!"
  
  I laughed but then I was thinking it would be worse to be a plunger. Then I immediately thought no way, being toilet paper is by far the worst thing. So the Toilet Story just sort of flowed from there. I logically came up with a bathroom scene and used the idea of the toilet brush (from friends) and plunger and TP that I was thinking about. I thought of the toothbrush for a main character because it made sense and it just fit. That way it would build up to the punchline of the TP.
  
  So there you have it.
  
  I remember when I first time I saw that comic i was like ah sh*t! My story idea wasn't so original after all. I honestly didn't see it until after.

  I guess it was just coincidence that there was already such a premise in existence, but hey, they say great minds think alike! ;)
  
  Sirtony, I took a look at your film and found it very intriguing. Although I honestly didn't know what was going on at first, after reading the description I thought it to be a really different and interesting take on "life flashing before your eyes."
  
  I'm very interested to hear your ideas; I'll contact you shortly.
  
  Again, thanks for the votes!

  Toothbrush: "Sometimes I feel I that have the worst job in the world!"
  
  Toilet paper (thinking to himself): "Yea... right!"
  
  Famous cartoon by Tim Peckham which seems to be the basis of this short film. However, great execution.
