Project Synopsis
The story follows Tracy, a spirit trapped in an ancient relic, who has a mysterious courtship with the night-janitor of the art gallery she is exposed in.
-
Unseen by the living and bored to death, Tracy’s favorite activity is to long for her lover, The Janitor. She likes to watch him hum or dance love songs at work, and listen to him talk about the beauty of her bewitching shine. He likes to spend his break time eating candy next to her in the midst of the night, but time always plays against them.
-
Tracy, intangible to humans, aches to take her lover’s hand.
She decides, for once in a century, to leave her godly responsibilities to return his lost keys. That night, she watches him while he sleeps. Never has she felt such a connection with anyone else. She disobeys godly rules and lets him rest in the moonlight. The next night, desperate to reciprocate The Janitor’s genuine love, she voices her passion and desire, which, against all expectations, are heard by her lover, mopping the room.
-
Destabilised by this sudden and somewhat paranormal revelation, The Janitor accidentally knocks the pedestal over. Tracy falls to the ground and breaks her curse at the impact. The two lovers can reunite.
