Men from Up the Stairs

Men from Up the Stairs is a 2006 Flash animation created by David Firth. It features surreal music by Marcus Fjellström.
Plot
The cartoon takes place in and around a strange house with one door, in which one male in a white shirt and tie appears to live. Another person descends the stairs in the house and is about to leave but decides not to, instead hiding behind the setee and resisting the occupant's adamant calls for him to exit the house. Eventually the phone, the buttons of which have only the number 2, rings, and a character referred to only as "Duke" suggests a cigarette to the occupant. The occupant lights a cigarette which makes the man from up the stairs run and jump out of the door, and thus off the edge of a cliff, as we see the building is standing on a piece of land within a large precipice. The occupant then wipes the other man's "essence" from the door. The occupant then returns indoors to see another man descending the stairs, this one appearing to have nuts attached to his suit. He also tries to leave, but the occupant decides to shut the door for good despite a warning that he will die. The last thing we see is the occupant lying (presumably dead) in front of the boarded up door, his stomach bloated heavily.
