Nothing

Plot

A man named Dave is fired from his job after his girlfriend frames him for embezzlement. Meanwhile, his friend and housemate Andrew, an agoraphobic travel agent, is falsely accused of attempted child molestation, and their house is to be demolished by day's end. Both of them hide inside the house as police, city officials, and outraged neighbors surround it. Dave and Andrew open their front door and discover that the entire world beyond their house is gone, replaced with a featureless white void.

The nothingness surrounding them holds a flat, featureless, and somewhat springy surface. They set out across the empty plane to explore their new surroundings, leaving items behind as a means of getting back. After running out of items to leave as a trail, they lose track of their path. They eventually wander back home.

There, Andrew realizes that the house is out of food. Andrew glances around the room, eventually stopping and glaring at a noisy clock on the wall; it then disappears. Andrew drops a stack of overdue bills in front of Dave, and within seconds the bills disappear – they realize the clock, the bills, and the entire outside world have all disappeared because they were objects of their hate, and concentrating their hate on things somehow makes them disappear. Dave manages to hate away his need for food.
