Current treatment

 Larger than Life

The classroom is still all but the frequent tapping on the keyboard as a student silently goes about his homework. As an over the shoulder shot comes into display hovering behind him, it shows he is working on his next drawing; A sci-fi girl donned in blue armour of sorts.

The student rubs his eyes and gives off a big yawn, it is evident he is pretty tired or his eyes are at least. After a brief stretch, he heads out for a breather and his leave is signalled by the soft thud of a shutting door. And all is still.

Suddenly, the girl on the screen begins to shift around as she slyly looks about from the confounds of her monitor prison. After determining the coast is clear, she hops out of the screen materializing as a 3d model and begins to wander about the surface of the table as a small collectable toy size miniature.

She is snapped out of her surveillance of a pair of glasses when a series of harsh beeping sends her shooting over the keyboard, ducking in cover for she knew what those sounds were; security drones that have been alerted to her escape and have come to detain her. As she peeks over the top of the mouse she’s just able to catch a glimpse of a pair of shadows hovering past a sketchbook before she ducks back down again.

She is not as powerless as these drones will discover soon as she infuses her right hand with energy charging it up into an electrical blue. She takes a deep breath and jumps out from cover taking a few shots before diving for cover behind a small mouse. The drones are now pelting her with blasts of their own, one which manages to smash into the mouse sending chunks of plastic debris flying.

As the girl pants and tries to think of her next move, in the distance she hears the unmistakable footsteps of the person returning to his post. She abandons the fire fight with a dirty scowl and jumps back into the  screen presuming her position in the psd file.

As the camera pans over the table all you can see is two little toys (the droids) lying motionless atop the desk and the girl back on the screen back to her original self. All you can hear as the screen clouds to black is.

Student: “Hey what happened to my mouse..”?
