Thesis - The World is a Steam Engine

Thesis Statement

The world is made up of millions of tiny fish. Schools of fish build the world as we know it by spiraling along the surfaces of objects.

Synopsis

You know those things that float around in your eye? Those are actually millions of tiny fish drawing the world as we know it. Everything from the people, trees, city, continents, and the world are nothing more than little goldfish.

The story takes place inside one floating eye dot. Inside this dot, schools of fish swim in spiraling patterns to create a train. Chugging along its tracks, the locomotive composed of tiny little fish passes a landscape of hills and trees which are also composed of these fish. The train’s blast pipe produces steam made up of fish. The steam of fish forms into people walking around a New York City block. The entire city, the entire state of New York, the United States, and the entire continent are all made up of these miniscule goldfish. From a distance, Earth is no more than just one of the many dots that float around in an eye.

Scene 02- Title	The fish all swim in a flock and begin spelling out the title "The World is a Steam Engine"
Scene 03- The Steam Engine	The fish then begin to spiral, to create the front wheel of a locomotive train. Another swarm of fish start "spiraling out" the body of the train, and finally to the steam.
Scene 04- The World as we Know it	The fish steam shapes into people walking. Zooming out, we see that fish are drawing the city, country, and the world. As we zoom out on the world, it turns into one of the floatie things that you see in your eye.
