Duty Calls

2008, 10 minutes

On the night shift a dieting solitary security guard confronts his biggest threat - a vending machine.

In the early hours of the morning Dave, a dieting, middle-aged security guard, awakens from his customary nap. Whilst doing his rounds of the expansive and eerie warehouse he is suddenly confronted by a droning vending Machine and its appealing contents. After succumbing to the Machine's allure Dave makes his way to the bathroom with a pack of chocolate balls in hand and in a moment of reflection decides to flush them down the toilet. On his route back Dave once again passes the Machine, as a taunting hum begins to emanate from it. Turning to face his adversary, Dave pounds the Machine, causing every unhealthy snack imaginable to free-fall to the ground. Defeated, Dave returns to the office, cheeks smeared and pockets bulging.
