overslept


Wednesday, the second of November
Rest in bed, wait for the alarm to sound, listen to the silence. The schools are on holidays, it is qiiet, there is no traffic.


And now it is far too late. Look at the clock, it shows
five fifty five in large digital letters.
get up, go for a shower. Think of taking the car, but what for? Get some fresh clothes on, pat the cat's head, and leave the house. Not, however, forgetting to close the bureau first, Thereby finding the small digital camera in one of the compartments. This is the camera that had been believed lost.
The alleyway is empty,. Then a door opens, a man emerges wheeling a small motor scooter. Say good morning in passing.
In the main street the delivery people with their big trucks are just finishing their work, many have gone already. There are so many cafes in the main street, and more have just opened up. A street full of cafes, all getting their wares delivered early in the morning.
There are people at the bus shelter, waiting.
The has arrives within a minute, isn't that lucky?
The railway station is busy, the large train arrivals board shows a train for Frei sing that is just about to leave.
Skip Yorma cafe today.
Hurry now, down the granite steeps, along the tiled corridor, and up the granite stairwell to the platform.
There are people coming down these stairs, leaving the train - to head for town. Arriving for work.
get on board the train.!by the time these scribbles are finished, the train has reached Freisirg-
A normal day
an hour late.
