The KNife 

Any sane person would avoid murder if they could. But what if you weren't given a choice? What if you weren't a person at all?

"The Knife" is a creepy philosophical thriller, told from the perspective of the murder weapon. From the moment its materials are mined from the ground, a kitchen knife is told by the other tools it encounters that it will find purpose--that purpose is the most important thing in the world.  In the kitchen of an everyday family, it comes to believe its purpose is to help feed people. But when the knife is used to kill, it questions everything it knows about its own existence.
