Storyboard Text

  • Slide: 1
  • I have been on the run for so long, it's not even funny at this point.
  • It all started when they announced "Apoptosis was coming". Everyone knew Apoptosis was the Grim Reaper of cells. But Bob the cell was not ready to let go.
  • Slide: 2
  • Initiation Point: Activate Caspases Here
  • Knowing that caspases were the enzymes responsible for initiating apoptosis, Bob made a quick U-turn and sprinted in the opposite direction, narrowly avoiding activation.
  • Slide: 3
  • Demolition St
  • Clearance St
  • Execution St
  • At Execution street, he spotted a group of caspases assembling a molecular guillotine. With a gasp, he ran behind a mitochondrion. As he walked to Demolition St, he stumbled upon a gang of executioner proteins armed with cleaving swords. With a burst of speed, he zigzagged through the cytoplasm, landing at Clearance St. And just when Bob thought it was over, he encountered a group of macrophages ready to engulf and digest him. Desperate for escape, Carl pulled out his trusty flagella and swam away, leaving the macrophages scratching their heads in confusion.
