Sunday, Dec. 20, 10:00am: 82 year old Erna B. asks her grandson Norbert to install a set of three electric candles at the window sill in the living room of her tiny town house in the Stenkelfield area.10:14am: Neighbour Ottfried Q., while emptying his garbage, notices the provocative act of Christmas offensive and subsequently counters with a 10-flame Chinese candle set (20W each) on the window sill of his kitchen.5:00pm: Whole Stenkelfield neighbourhood is illuminated with 134 contemplative Christmas illuminations of all kinds7:04pm: At the control centre of  the coal-powered power plant of Sottrup-Höcklage (14kms away from Stenkelfield), the duty engineer notices erroneous records at the power indicating instruments. As it is within range, he does not see any need for action.8:17pm: Leagally married couple Horst and Heidi E. succeed in putting up an iterative network of 96 halide movie lights, illuminating all of the trees of their (big) apple tree plant. Birds are confused, start mating and building nests.8:56pm: Discotheque owner Alfons K., pressured by the acts of his neighbours, is forced to put his two cents into the pre-Christmas atmosphere and installs the laser ensemble “Metropolis” on the flat roof of his bungalow. Metropolis is the most powerful laser show in Europe and K. projects it to the 40m high grain silo close to Stenkelfield. The silo resists for about 40 minutes before crumbling with an awful noise.9:30pm: Alarm sounds from generator hall 5 at Sottrup-Höcklage power plant remain unheard due to a Christmas party.9:50pm: 85 year old August R. projects the Star of Bethlehem at the deep clouds, using 150 “Varta Volkssturm” Anti-Aircraft floodlighs dating back to WW II.10:12pm: A group of Asian businessmen in summer suits and with hand luggage are straying around the Stenkelfield neighbourhood in a very scared manner. Their Boeing 747, on the way to Sydney, erroneously landed at the parking lot of the local bakery which was illuminated by 3000 colourful neon lights.10:37pm: Voyager 7, currently located at the edge of the Milky Way, sends pictures of an alleged Supernova at the Northern hemisphere of our good old Planet Earth.10:50: A slight earthquake makes the area of Sottrup-Höcklage power plant tremble. The whole complex is runnig at 150%, using all of their 30 steam turbines.11:06pm: 23 year old student Bettina U. wakes up and enjoys what she thinks is a sunny December morning.11:12pm and 14 seconds: The sudden complete darkness in Stenkelfield is disrupted by the sound of heavy explosions at Sottrup-Höcklage power plant. Addled people are straying around in the neighbourhood – people like you and me, who thought that just one candle at the Advent Wreath was not enough….
