Story

Max loves to help others. He doesn’t care if those are aliens, humans or animals. He helps everyone. His alarm bells light up when someone needs help, and he immediately knows where to go. Lately, he has grown more and more alarm bells because more and more help is required. For the moment, the number of alarm bells has reached nine, but who knows how many more alarm bells he will grow in the future.


The ninth alarm bell has been fully grown since yesterday. He already had a lot of trouble helping everyone when he only had eight bells lighting up at once. So let’s see how it will go with having nine. We actually should find out soon because the first alarm bell just began to light up – and the second one just a few seconds later. After only 5 seconds, all his nine alarm bells were ringing. There was one who needed help finding the right keyhole for a particular key. Max is wondering how hard it could be to find a keyhole for a key, but well, it seems to be a genuine problem. Otherwise, his alarm bell would not have gone off. Another one is planning a dinner party for tonight, but she doesn’t know that her milk is about to expire. This does not sound like a problem, but as soon as Max finishes his thought, he receives additional information. When the person enters the “Threemarket” in the world wide virtual world, she will meet someone she would not have thought possible. But Max is not sure how he could be of help there. But sometimes, he only knows how to help when he arrives, so that could also be the case here. The third one started her new interior design business where she designs the interior of technical devices in the world wide virtual world. She is excited but terrified to begin her first project since she is self-employed. Max thinks this one just needs someone to reassure her that she will do a great job. Alarms four, five and six are just about the typical medical emergencies. The seventh alarm bell has gone off because someone is about to murder someone. “Wow, this is new, never had a murder case before”, Max thinks. Another thought which comes to his mind is that he maybe should stop commenting on all these incidents in his head and should start deciding where to go first.


At this point, it might also be essential to know that Max will visit all of them in order, and that often takes multiple hours for him and can be pretty exhausting, but for everyone else, Max will exactly arrive at that point in time they need help. You might also be wondering what the last two incidents are about. Well, don’t be too surprised. These are also medical emergencies. Most calls are about medical emergencies, so he is used to it. So this time, he wants to start with something else. This time he begins with the first alarm. He is just too curious about where the key will fit.
