"no!"

December, 2017
There is snow on the BMW sports car parked in front of the house, snow that the street itself is largely free of. But the street is wet, the cobbled alley is glistening with smaller patches of snow here and there On the way down to the bus stop the amount of snow on the ground increases, the shoes start to let the cold in.
In the distance, there is the bus stop, on the other side of the gate. See Dolores walk over to a car stopped at the side of the road with an expression of great haste. A friend has stop ad to pick her up. The doors closes, and the small white car joins the traffic on the street. Teachman and the bog cotton man remain at the bus stop.




By the time the bus reaches the railway station it has started to snow, the snow on the ground is deeper too. This snowy weather always happens three weeks before Christmas, by Christmas the snow will probably be gone.
The young man at the cafe counter bellows a good morning in a loud voice. And when he gets his order, he yells" will that he all' in German. The answer is a curt "no!" Take the warm coffee to the small sideboard the plastic lids are kept, put one of them onto the paper cup.. Occupy a free table, take out the notebook, and after a few seconds, decide to leave out the detailed account of the mornings struggle with the alarm, the difficulty of finding shoes and so forth. Leave it be until later, until now. Now.. aboard the train, on a seat covered in blue cloth with black squares on it. A table with fake wooden veneer. And now-the lights of the chemical factory in Moos Burg pass outside, as the train reduces speed and stops.
