LIBRARY

In the library where I sometimes work on my term paper, there is a guy who is arranging all the baskets in a pile. He`s doing this every night. I`ve been wondering if he`s a member of the staff who is in charge of the baskets or if he`s just one of those freaks who is sneaking around on the campus. However, he seems to have found his destination.

CAB DRIVER

Last night I came home from Berlin. When I arrived at the station with one and a half hour delay, I was annoyed and extremely tired. No one was there to pick me up, so I had to take a cab to get home. When the driver opened the door we recognized each other from previous cab rides. As always?, he asked. It was nice to see a familiar face.

MOBILE

Last night my mobile broke. On my way to a phone booth I saw a woman stepping out of a house, wearing a pink, flowered bathrobe and carrying a water pipe in her hands like a baby. She seemed to be in a hurry.

MOTHER

A while ago I talked to my boyfriend about having a child. I am afraid of becoming the kind of mother I do not want to be. "You will be exactly the kind of mother you want to be," my boyfriend said. I couldn`t help but wonder: Do we also decide - at least to a certain extent - what kind of person we want to be?
