EIGHT TWENTY-NINE

Martin is as square as they come. He lives in solitude and has minutely planned his every day life - for maximum efficiency. Until he finds that one morning, the world seems to have stopped turning. Time is standing still, but for Martin it somehow doesn't and he is soon confronted with a childhood acquaintance he had thought long forgotten: Boredom.
