SLUGGISH

Henry slogs into his room after a long day of work. His apartment is a mess, the visual epitome of an unwashed bedsheet. He brushes his teeth and takes a dump before collapsing into his bed. A massive pile of laundry sits in the corner.
We fade into the first dream sequence. Henry stands triumphantly atop a mountain as the sun rises. He is dressed as a cowboy, a western cinematic symbol of freedom. He holds a knife that drips blood as he towers over a dead cowboy. Henry bends down to close the eyes of the body. He stands up again and watches the sunrise through white sheets drying on a clothesline tied to some trees.
The next time we see Henry, he is washing dishes at work while his coworkers bicker behind him. On this day, Henry is working with Jade and Justin in the kitchen. Justin is a typical burnout guy with an unwashed apron while Jade is essentially the person the manager gives the keys to when they need to make a run. They abruptly end their debate and Justin leaves to cut onions. Jade turns around and tries to strike up a conversation with Henry. She invites him to her boyfriend’s art gallery opening, but Henry stresses the dire importance of his laundry.
Later in the day, Henry finds himself at the apartment of his friend Lopez. Henry plays Red Dead Redemption 2 while Lopez does bong rips. Henry can’t stay long but Lopez thanks him for coming anyway. He tells Henry of his neighbors who are fighting because one of them allegedly killed their cat, and this triggers an awkward silence. Lopez breaks the silence by inviting Henry to see their friend’s band and He responds by reiterating the importance of his laundry, irritating Lopez. The two then bicker about Henry's shitty broken washing machine, and his unwillingness to just go to the laundromat. This is interrupted by an alarm on Lopez’s phone that signals it's time to feed his pet snail. The two stumble over to the snail’s aquarium. Lopez feeds Phil (the snail) as he muses about how easy a snail is to care for because they “never do much.”
Henry bursts through his door and collapses into his bed, bypassing a massive mountain of laundry.
Henry begins to dream again. This time he finds himself wearing a suit inside of a massive building that looks like the ribcage of a whale. Henry meets with a man in this hotel who is also wearing a suit. They share a loose conversation about the nature of Henry's dependency. Henry insists he's fine, but the man disagrees and warns Henry that this way of life is not sustainable. The man throws Henry on the ground.
Henry falls off his bed, waking him up. His boss calls his phone and asks him to come in. Henry says yes.
Work is extremely busy so Henry steps outside to suck on licorice. Jade comes out to smoke and inquires about why Henry sucks on licorice. Henry explains that it helped him quit smoking and jade takes one. Jade then invites Henry to meet him at heaven’s hill; a place where you can hear tornado sirens harmonize at sunrise. Henry declines but Jade emphasizes that the offer still stands.
Henry walks out of the restaurant and a man comes up, offering to fix Henry’s car. Henry declines but the man insists, making Henry only move faster. In his haste, he accidentally runs over the man’s foot on his way out.
Henry arrives home and goes into his fridge to look for milk. All he finds is spoiled milk. He puts it up on the counter, and leaves the room. In his absence, the milk jug falls off the table. Henry returns and slips in the milk, knocking him out.
This begins the third dream sequence where Henry is harassed by the man whose foot he ran over. The man shows Henry his grave and then turns him into a slug.
Miraculously Henry wakes up. He hears tornado sirens and decides to go join Jade on Heaven’s Hill.
