Plot
A young boy contemplating what activity to do is confronted with a multitude of choices, each represented by various 'hunches'—colorful, whimsical creatures that embody different impulses and decisions. These hunches pull him in multiple directions, suggesting everything from eating a snack, going outside, sitting and thinking, to engaging in bizarre or procrastinative behaviors. As the boy grapples with these conflicting suggestions, he experiences decision paralysis. The story culminates in the boy learning to listen to his own 'real' hunch, guiding him to make a decision that aligns with his true desires, highlighting the importance of inner guidance amidst external chaos.
