THE BROWN DOG

genres:

At night, a watchman clocks into a lonely security booth in the empty parking lot of an upscale apartment complex. Voiced by the late Michael K. Williams, the character — identified only as “NOBODY” — spends his shifts composing endless security logs to stay awake. ''What will these bizarrely acute observations amount to?,'' NOBODY asks. As the darkness slowly closes in on him, he abandons his post and goes in search of a mysterious brown dog.
