Keep in a Dry Place and Away from Children

Keep in a Dry Place and Away From Children is a 1998 short film by Martin Davies[1] and produced by bolexbrothers.

[2] The animated short centers on a baby that is half-human, half duck that becomes fascinated with a box of matches with the image of a swan imprinted on it that an adult left on the kitchen counter.

As his toys watch, he breaks out of his crib and manages to discover in a cupboard, his wings, which had been taken away from him at birth.

The baby grabs the matches and lights one, only for one of his wings to catch fire, plunging him into a sink full of water.

The baby is then shown motionless at the bottom of the sink except for a single hand twitch.
