Maybe it was the weather as the wind snatched at all in its reach, maybe the moon and the planets were in a particular alignment, or maybe because it was Friday 13th that events beyond our control drew together and separated our four characters.
It is your influence that will alter their lives, there are no decisions to be taken lightly. Who do you want to manipulate first?

Joe bolts upright wondering what had awoken him, in the darkness he hears a tapping at the window. Throwing off the duvet he turns on the light and carefully makes his way across the bedroom.
Tap, tap, tap.
Yanking up the blind light floods outside, next doors tree has been knocked over by the wind and one of its branches has been tapping at the window. Joe groans knowing that he isn't going to be able to get back to sleep.
Bleep beep, bleep beep, bleep beep.
The alarm bleats through the silence, "No need to go back to sleep then." Joe muses. Turning of the alarm he makes his way downstairs to the kitchen. The cupboard doors all hang open as Joe dodges his way around the overflowing bins and bits of recycling, finding the cereal cupboard. He grabs the packet of cornflakes, they don't rattle as he takes it down staring inside it's just the crumbs left.
Leaving him with the choice to try and [[sieve out the crumbs->Cornflakes]] or [[grab breakfast on the way to work->Bagel]].

Joe rummages around one of the bottom cupboards grasping with his finger tips. Snatching a handle he extracts the metal object finding it covered in cobwebs. Quickly Joe shakes the sieve hoping no spiders crawl up his arm but fall onto the floor. Turning to the sink piled to overflowing he grabs a greasy sponge and tries to dust the cobwebs off instead.
Laying the sieve on top of the bowl Joe shakes the last of the cornflakes into the bowl collecting all the crumbs, realising he has done this the wrong way round he finds another bowl and tips the healthy corn flakes from the sieve into it. The milk isn't quite out of date so he drowns the cornflakes. Joe reunites the bowl with the rest of his dishes in the over flowing sink.
He gets ready to [[leave->Ready to Leave]].
(set: $breakfast to "cornflakes")
The idea of a warm bacon Bagel is to much, the conrnflake packet is put back into the cupboard as Joe's mouth starts to water. Time to [[leave early->Ready to Leave]] and find a delicouse breakfast.
(set: $breakfast to "bagel")
Unlocking his bike from the side of the house he sets of into the wind, the sun is just starting to rise as the sky turns a velevty blue speckled with pinky clouds. Looking up Joe marvels at the colours knowing he has a long ride ahead.
Quickly dashing back inside Joe collects the birthday card ready to put in the post to get to his Mum on Monday. Putting it in his rucksack he heads back outside to [[cycle to work->Leave For Work]].
(set: $card "collected")
Joe grabs his cycling clothes out of the laundry and his packed lunch from the fridge. Leaving his Pjamas in the middle of the kitchen he easies himself into the sportsware.
Heading outside to collect his bike he remembers he left the letter he was going to post inside. It isn't urgent maybe he can [[post it later->Leave For Work]], but he still has plenty of time to [[pick it up->Collect Letter]] and get to work on time.
