I made a few changes to my story in response to tuesday's critique. I went ahead and made his love of donuts his fatal flaw (although i might change his love to coffee in the final animation. I'll make assets for both, and switch them out just so i can see which one works better.)
The beginning is slowed down, and establishes his love for donuts. He even buys a second donut for the road to eat, dropping the first one he bought into his briefcase to save for later.
At the end of the animation, he climbs the building, past the elevator, to the very top where the building's flagpole lies. he grabs his paper from the bird, just as it is about to feast on the squirrel.
The worker notices a new sign the donut man sets up advertising a free donut during lunch hour. The squirrel takes his paper and tries to fly away with it (we learn it is a flying squirrel here.)
The worker jumps from the pole, catching the paper at the last moment, and crashes to the ground, only to have his boss take his papers, and the donut he placed in his briefcase at the beginning of the animation.
