Story
In the room is a man in a T-shirt. When he hears a rustle on the floor, he rushes into this place with a boot in his hand and tries to slam what makes a rustle. However, he does not succeed. At some point in the corner the pants begin to move, under which there is something living. A man tries to slam a creature under his pants, and then he discovers there a miniature man, a copy of himself. He wants to crush the man with his foot, but he does not succeed. It can be seen that the little man makes the same movements as the main character, but a few seconds earlier. Having driven a man into a corner, the hero finally claps his boot on him. At this time, behind his back appears the face of another copy of the hero, this time many times larger than him. The enlarged copy also holds the boot and slams it on the hero.
