Travel writer Lemuel Gulliver takes an assignment in Bermuda, but ends up on the

Storyline


Lemuel Gulliver has been working in the mail room of a New York daily newspaper
for the past ten years. Afraid to put himself out there, he considers himself a loser, as
do all his peers. One day, after having finally had enough, he decides to declare his
flame to the beautiful Darcy Silverman, the newspaper's travel editor and one of
Gulliver's only friends...only to chicken out at the last minute and instead tell her that
he'd like to try his hand at writing a column. Darcy accepts and sends him on an
assignment to the Bermuda Triangle. There, Gulliver becomes shipwrecked and ends
up on the island of Liliput, where he is twelve times taller than the tallest man. For the
first time, Gulliver has people looking up to him... Written by Happy_Evil_Dude
