Things
"Things" takes place in an alternate universe in which people categorize everything much more simply than our own universe. The pastime of choice is simply known as "the sport" and people drink, well, "the drink". A consequence of all this is that individuals are literally either "nobody" or "somebody" depending on whether or not they conform. Our protagonist, Guy, is a nobody, but his girlfriend, Girl, was raised a somebody. After Guy blows it in front of Father and Mother, he decides to cast aside his nobody ways. The insincere pleading by Girl that he never change is no match for Guy's desire to impress. Guy rampages his flat. He destroys his wardrobe (Hawaiian shirts, cargo shorts), throws out his pet (a hedgehog named Watson), and destroys the key to his favorite activity (a "game" board). Guy changes himself, that's for sure. Will he actually pass as a somebody? Will he finally find happiness? and what about WATSON?
