It's Sunday, June 9, and Saxony is in the throes of local and European elections. But while many citizens have already made their way to the polling station, there is always someone who doesn't remember that today is an important day until 6 pm. Let's assume our fictional protagonist is called Klaus. And Klaus is having one of those days.
The day starts innocently enough. Klaus sleeps in comfortably and enjoys a hearty breakfast with fresh bread rolls and a latte macchiato, which he prepares at home. Afterwards, he loses himself in the endless expanses of his social network, scrolling through cat videos and commenting on his friends' latest vacation photos. Time flies by.
Around midday, Klaus decides it's a good day for a long walk in the park. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and all seems right with the world. A spontaneous visit to the ice cream parlor rounds off the afternoon, and while he enjoys his stracciatella ice cream, he meets up with old school friends. The brief chat turns into an invitation to a barbecue.
