Shine

A man stops his car in the pouring rain, inches from a girl who is stood, shivering in the cold. As he walks past her he sees the magnitude of the crash unfold before him. His own dismembered body is laying at the foot of his upturned car. The body comes to life, connected to the girl who approaches and picks up one of his dismembered arms. As it gently caresses her face, it wipes a tear from her eye. The rain stops, frozen in mid air. She takes the arm to the body and pulls a hairpin with a red ribbon from her hair, proceeding to sew the arm on. The man finds the remaining body parts for her to sew onto his doppelgänger until he is fully brought to life. The two walk off together and the rain begins to fall once more. The man walks back to his car, contemplating what he saw. Was it something that had happened, something that was happening or something that was about to happen? We are left with the image of the girl driving into his car, a reflection in his eye. All set to the haunting music of Younger Brother. The story is filled with hidden meaning about the nature of addiction.
