There's a Man in the Woods (Web Animation)	comment	"There's a Man in the Woods" is a web animation made in 2014.The story is narrated by a former school teacher, who tells the audience the story of how he got fired. Every day, the children of the school would go out to the bushes at the edge of the woods near the school and eat the honeysuckle. One child named Sid, however, doesn't want to share the flowers, so he claims that he saw a man in the woods. The teacher knows that Sid is lying, but as he doesn't do anything except try to stop the rumor, the story grows before getting back to the parents. Things get darker from there...The video can be found here:

There's a Man in the Woods (Web Animation) / int_11a74598	comment	Became Their Own Antithesis: The Teacher tried to convince the students, parents, and staff that there was no "man in the woods," but gets blamed and fired for it. After becoming an addict and reaching rock bottom, he drives to his school through the woods and becomes "the man in the woods."

There's a Man in the Woods (Web Animation) / int_34c6ed8	comment	Don't Go in the Woods: Invoked by Sid, who makes up a lie about there being a murderer in the woods next to the school so he can have the honeysuckle bush at the edge of the woods all to himself. His lie snowballs into a moral panic that ends up getting the teacher fired for not doing enough to protect the kids from the nonexistent killer (as if that's his job and not the job of the police), all while the teacher's claims that Sid is lying fall on deaf ears. The unjustly slandered teacher turns from a nice guy into a bitter addict, and eventually decides that if everybody else is going to play along with Sid's lie, then so will he... by making it true.

Three imagined versions of fictional persons have been haunting the Teacher and 2). Before he shows up to presumably kill Sid, he's in the imagined lava that all the kids (sans Sid) stood away from because of "the man in the woods."

Honeysuckles sure made Sid happy but, because of his lies, no one's happy and he ends up creating evil in the form of the vengeful teacher.

There's a Man in the Woods (Web Animation) / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: It seems likely the Teacher will get his revenge on Sid and kill him. While this will satisfy the Teacher (and the viewers), in the long run, it won't make things better. Killing someone like Sid is still killing. What would the teacher's other students think, their beloved mentor, turned criminal? What's more, killing won't fix the damage Sid's lie has already done. It won't get back the Teacher's job, it won't restore the school's credibility, and it certainly won't make the other students' fears go away. It won't make things go back to the way they were. What's more, assuming anyone will care, Sid's death would only serve to make him a martyr. Not to mention, it's suggested that Sid is the way he is because his mother is inattentive. Brat that he is, he's still a child, and he'll never have a chance to grow out of that behavior. The only consolation is the irony that Sid will die among the honeysuckles he so lied for.

They then decide to lay all the blame on him and have him fired. Sid's mother meanwhile, never once thinks of investigating his claim either, and takes it further by deciding the school should hold all the responsibility whilst simultaneously not lifting a finger to do anything about it herself. She also never once considers the possibility that her son may have been lying (which he was), and is in fact gravely offended at the mere suggestion that her perfect little angel is even capable of such a thing.

After it shows the teacher has taken to snorting cocaine, there's a closeup to his eyes. Attentive viewers will also notice that a few scenes show empty beer bottles in the front seat of the narrator's car. This foreshadows his descent into alcoholism and drugs in the wake of being fired from his job.

This not only leaves him vulnerable to the vengeful teacher (whose transformation into the "man in the woods" is unto itself ironic), but his cowering before the teacher strongly implies he didn't even have the mettle to face the real man in the woods.
