“Hey, what do we do now?” The girl took out her notebook and hurriedly flipped to a new page to scribble. Bored to death, he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes. After a while, she slapped his arm roughly. “Ouch! What was that for?!” She pointed to the notebook and showed him a roughly drawn stickman in bed. However, most attention-grabbing was the bright red moustache on the stickman’s face. She then pointed to a room in the left-wing of the school. Snickering, he flicked her forehead. “Weren’t you the good kid? What happens if I accidentally burn something that might not be his moustache?” He looked at her and laughed. Hesitating for a while, she flipped a page and quickly wrote the words ‘I can handle it’. She then patted her chest firmly and nodded at him. “I guess that’s the good thing about you having a water element. Don’t you think we are a good match?” He playfully grinned at her. She looked at him for a moment and scoffed. But her cheeks were bright red.
Do you think that, despite being just stick figures, the drawings you make on paper have actual life inside of them? This is what the protagonist of our story will discover, yet. Ever since their mother was killed in a tragic accident five years ago, Larry has taken on the role of guardian for his unrelated little sister. From that point on, they have lived together in one roof while overcoming the difficulties of adjusting to life as a temporary family. Larry was looking forward to seeing his best friend, James, who came to his house one day. They came across a collection of their childhood stickman drawings while reminiscing. Suddenly, an mysterious purple void appeared out of nowhere, enveloping the two teenagers and transporting them to a surreal land populated by the very stickmen they had doodled. But upon waking up, Larry couldn't find James anywhere. Thus began his unexpected adventure in the whimsical world of stickman creations, to find his best friend and to find the way out of this while experiencing a once in a lifetime journey.
