Finkle's Odyssey
Synopsis
His dream draws closer when a mysterious salesman sells him a suitcase full of ideas. On closer inspection it seems the 'Idea' is actually the living incarnation of the word in the form of a microscopic mite.
These mites ultimately guide him to a mysterious orifice which has appeared in his ceiling through which he must enter to end his torment.
