    Fax of Life
    Meet David. He is not a hero, just a simple man going
    about his day-to-day life at the office. On a seemingly
    routine day, he gets a mysterious fax with no return
    number. “Take a different route home.” As months pass,
    David keeps getting semi-weekly faxes instructing him
    on what to do and where to be. His life finally seems to
    be on the right track. That is, until the faxes stop.
