A wonderful scenery opens and showcase the life around a high school
student. Showing his nature blends along with his misery.

Voice Over:

Seb: Life plays like a look. A never ending rally of life and misery. A life filled with
challenges. Blasted with a little light of hope, crawling through this pitch black
spherical lage.

Surviving life is one of the most difficult part of being a human. We never
know what tomorrow awaits. Questions running through my mind. Too big for an
18 year old high school student but what I know is that I ought to survive.
