Monkeybone2001 — Short Story

Monkeybone2001 never meant to become a legend; he just wanted to fix one small mistake.

He didn’t have one. He had the city and his tools and the list of small repairs. He had never expected the map to demand a person. He thought of the people he’d helped, of the way small kindness rippled outward. Maybe the final fix would be the largest one yet. monkeybone2001

The Plot:
Struggling cartoonist Stu (Brendan Fraser) creates a hit comic strip starring “Monkeybone,” a manic, wisecracking primate. After a car accident leaves Stu in a coma, he wakes up in “Downtown,” a surreal purgatory where repressed thoughts, nightmares, and cancelled cartoon characters roam. To return to the living world, Stu must escape Downtown—but Monkeybone hitches a ride into Stu’s comatose body, causing chaos in the real world while Stu’s fiancée (Bridget Fonda) and sister (Megan Mullally) try to save him.
