David Can Build It

The Story ยท Chapter 1 ยท

Chapter 1: Hello World

It starts with a blank floor.

The comment

No comment yet. It starts with a blank floor.

Chapter 1 is the opening. Every chapter after this one starts with a real comment.

What happened

David drops out of the sky onto a huge, empty grey floor. Nothing else exists yet.

He says he builds real things, fast, and proves it: a workbench snaps together part by part. Then he admits he can go much faster, and 50 tables pile up into a tower. He winks.

Then the deal: you comment what he should build, he builds it, and it stays in the world forever. Whatever happens next is on you.

What got built

A workbench in a few seconds (legs, rails, a butcher-block top and a blue vise), then 50 tables stacked into a tower about 38 m tall.

Now in the world

Frame by frame

  1. David Can Build It: the empty grey floor before anything exists
    "This is my world. It's empty."
  2. David Can Build It: David lands on the grey floor in a puff of dust
    David drops in and lands hard.
  3. David Can Build It: David next to his finished workbench with a blue vise
    "I build things. Real things. Fast."
  4. David Can Build It: tables stacking into a tower next to the workbench
    "I can build MUCH faster than that."
  5. David Can Build It: close-up of David winking
    The wink.
  6. David Can Build It: the 50-table tower seen from far away on the endless floor
    "Whatever happens next... that's on you."
  7. David Can Build It: David waving next to his workbench
    "Comment what I build first."

Leave a comment on the latest Short. David reads them, picks one, and builds it for real. The comment gets screenshotted and goes right here, at the top of the next chapter.
