Wake-up call



This is the morning that Michiko burns all her "before" photos.

This is the morning that Joe decides he will break up with his girlfriend if the weather report is good.

This is the morning that Jess converts the work slush pile into a table-full of origami pieces for her boss' desk; when arranged, the pieces spell out "I QUIT".

This is the morning that Alex gets his licence back and can stop faking his enjoyment of walking everywhere.

This is the morning that Tarek gets a text message from his accountant girlfriend, suggesting their relationship may not be "solvent".

This is the morning that Marina decides to increase her luck in life by kissing more inanimate objects - her bank card, her student ID, her train ticket.

This is the morning that Bernard will re-rehearse his lines for the last time before actually calling her.

This is the morning that Elsa starts to leave music boxes in random elevators across the city.

This is the morning that everyone wakes up to new bearings.
