Identify Yourself
JACK DURFEE is fed up with the modern world. It drives him
nuts that his seventeen-year-old daughter SKYLAR identifies as
a non-binary person and his fifteen-year-old son JEREMIAH
identifies as a hippopotamus. Jack’s wife KAREN is more
accepting of many of the unorthodox beliefs of Gen Z.
Jack also resents the fact that some of his neighbors identify as
animals and the guy next door who happens to be a white male
identifies as a nineteen seventy-five black man. Luckily for Jack
he works for OUTER STELLAR ASSOCIATES INC. This
extraordinary company specializes in the ability to travel to
other dimensions.
One morning Jack heads into work and is greeted by a top-level
executive named CLIFF BARNWELL and the man who is the
head of research at the laboratory DR. VANGELDER. The two
men explain to Jack they believe traveling to the fourth
dimension is now possible.
Jack jumps at the bit like a kid in a candy store. He is
overwhelmed with joy when THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS gives
him the green light. Jack is going where no human being has
ever gone before.
Jack is given an Ipad to document his journey and instructed to
lie down in the TRANSMITTER. This state-of-the-art creation
resembles an MRI machine. Dr. Vangelder and a few other
technicians press a few buttons and Bam, the transmitter and
Jack are gone.
Upon entering the fourth dimension, Jack is in awe of this new
universe with beautiful gases that light up space and exquisite
colors that form grids. He is befriended by a talking tesseract
named ZONE. Jack starts to feel at home until he meets the
humans of this strange world.
They are cruel to Jack because he is different from them. They
mock his very existence and call him derogatory names. Jack
comes to despise this bizarre galaxy.
He eventually returns back to the good old third dimension as a
new man. Jack apologizes to his children and neighbors for
being so judgmental. For Jack now knows what it’s like to be
created like an outcast.
He now embraces the ever-changing domicile called planet
Earth. He even goes on national television to share a message
of inclusion and good will towards others. He also reminds
everybody to always IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. It took Jack
traveling to another dimension to fall in love with his true
home.
