The Tired Man

In a small apartment there is a bed. The alarm clock rings. An arm gropes its way out of the duvet, stops the ringing and throws the clock in the bin. A new clock rings, inside a drawer. This is the start of a story about a man who can't get up in the morning.

The morning ritual shows that every night he prepares more and more remedies to wake him up. And the remedies are so extreme that we realize that he has been struggling with this for a long time. Skilled and eager people are liked by everyone, while lazy and indifferent people irritate us. But what about those who don't get it right, even though they try their best?

The Tired Man oversleeps every day and wants more than anything to become an A-human. His boss thinks he's a jerk, but after following him through a grueling 24 hours, we might see him as a hero.
