Prison child psychologist Dr. David Munck (Burke) is driven to leave his job by his most recent patient, a convicted serial child killer known only as “John Doe” (Sterling). Doe sidesteps most questions about his past, claiming to be from no place that Munck could understand. He will only say that he takes his victims to another place where he “frolics” with them.
At home, Dr. Munck’s wife Leslie (Aspen) tends to their daughter Colleen (Kailey Nicole), who seems to have picked up a little boyfriend at school…

!!Tropes seen in the short:
* CardboardPrison: It wouldn’t be for criminals who are only human, but that’s not the case here.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: The Muncks rush upstairs to see their daughter missing from her bed, implied to be John Doe’s most recent victim.]]
* EmpathyDollShot: The deer with its stuffing pulled out.
* HumanoidAbomination: John Doe looks human but claims to be something else. Certainly seems like he’s right at the end.
* KubrickStare: Whenever Doe looks up from his drawing he seems to be giving one of these.
* NightmareFuelColoringBook: Doe’s drawings.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: As John Doe, Maury Sterling slips between a Southern accent and a haughty pseudo-British one. It actually works in terms of making the point that Doe’s human persona is hastily put together.
* SettingUpdate: The short story was published before cell phones and laptops were generally available on the market, but the film reflects their being ubiquitous.
