Neil Gaiman's Likely Stories

S01E01 Foreign Parts

A looming sense of urgency permeates the narrative. Our protagonist, Simon, feels trapped in a monotonous cycle, akin to a man ensnared in quicksand. His daily routine involves waking, dressing, and commuting on the DLR, with each day blurring into the next. As his identity begins to fade, he finds himself transforming into someone else. Similarly, Dr. Benham is caught in the confines of his STD clinic, witnessing a constant flow of patients. His own journey of change reflects a gradual loss of self, as he too evolves from the ground up.
