2021 · 19 min · Comedy, Action, Science Fiction

Daniel, a 30-year-old man-child crashing on his sister’s couch, decides to purchase a “cursed” samurai sword from a seedy flea market. He believes that if he manages to unlock the power within the sword, he can change his life for good. However, the sword proves to be a formidable foe. He gets kicked out by his sister, shunned by a former love interest, and thoroughly embarrassed by pretty much everyone in his life. Eventually, Daniel must decide if unlocking the sword’s power is worth the hardship. Or, maybe he just needs to take a look inside.
