Yeah, I found the short film myself a while ago and it was well worthy of the Oscar it earned back in '05. I think the movie is basically taking that short scenario and blowing it up into Epic territory. (And making it a little less lonely sad, what with there being other sack people alive and well in addition to 9).

Whatever crack you're on, I like it! You could easily spin that concept into a series of interwoven short stories--like standalone "chapters" compiled into a larger novel about the Engine, with each Doctor dealing with it in interesting mindscrew, timey-wimey ways. DOOOOO EEEEEET.

I hope some of them are still alive at the end. One of the things that the short made me realize is that there's a distinct possibility the movie will end the same way. I mean, it probably won't, given that it's a wide-release movie, but the possibility is there. And I'm already a bit sad about the prospect of saying goodbye to the wee sack people. :( They're just so cute!

Oooh, that's an idea. That way I could write stories specifically designed for the Engine without writing it in where it doesn't fit (of course, that leaves the problem of how to extricate it from the plot of stories I'm writing where it doesn't fit), write stories that take advantage of the non-linear possibilities, and have a big epic culmination!

Now I just need to start planning stories instead of collections of creepy images, heh.
