this is probably one of the scariest shorts ive seen, because it can really happen to anyone.

[KawaiiContinuum]

Since three years ago, I've come back once in a while to watch this. It always makes me sad, but I watch it because it teaches me values. I really fear this happening to me or anyone in my family

[Sajal K. Mitra]

ok, i didn't understand jackshit! was the mom ill or something?

[MsDebbieWebby]

Thank you for making this short film. My family struggles with caring for my aunt who has advanced alzheimer's disease. It's really a terrible disease not just for those who have it, but for their loved ones as well. We're the ones who have to see them regressing before our very eyes. It's so hard. My thoughts and prayers go out to those going through the same situation at home. You are not alone.
