The cast, in order of appearance...

You wake up too early. It morning, you’re freezing. Some toothpaste and a shower. A polo-shirt and your dirty jeans. Then out the door, making good time, so you stop for coffee. You live life in paper. Your desk is crumbling. A rhino and penguin, highlighters and paperclips. A broken fan and last year’s calendar next to long list of numbers. You’re almost as white as the walls, you’re definitely as empty. But maybe, just maybe, she can save you. That’s what you’re thinking. “Tonight, she’ll save me.” You write thoughts down on stolen post-it notes. You glance around to make sure you don’t get caught. “They mean something to me.”
