  • If we were having coffee – 23 May 2015

    If we were having coffee, I’d offer you a glass of water, it is quite warm here, so I am sure you’ll enjoy it. I’d tell you that once again I am a bit short on time for this post, but then writing posts quickly is turning into a sport. I…

  • He dug into the earth – 10 minutes flash fiction

    He dug into the earth, his fingers and hands covered in soft dirt, he retrieved the first carrot of the year. Wow he thought to himself as he brushed off some of the dirt. In his hands he was holding a massive carrot. Its orange was strong. This was of…

  • Der Schock

    Die eisige Kälte riss sie aus dem Schlaf. Ginia saß aufrecht in ihrem Bett. Warum war es denn bloß so kalt? Wo war ihre Decke, ihr Kopfkissen? Hecktisch fing sie an um sich herum nach ihrem Handy zu suchen, ihre Finger tasteten nach ihrem Nachtisch, der war nicht da, sie fühlte…

  • If we were having coffee – 16 May 2015

    Good morning, if we were having coffee, as usual I’d propose something different. I am sitting here with some good Puh Erh, so I would propose you some of that. If we were having coffee, well then I’d tell you that I am happy that I managed to squeeze you…

  • Ein wirrer Mischmasch – “Ruhm Ein Roman in neun Geschichten” von Daniel Kehlmann

    Mit Hilfe von neun verschiedenen Kurzgeschichten erzählt Daniel Kehlmann eine Geschichte. Von was handeln sie? Oder von wem? Ich weiss leider nicht so recht. Eigentlich fängt alles gut an, eine super Kurzgeschichte über einen Mann der sich ein Handy gekauft hat. Aber nicht irgend ein Handy, nein, sondern eins mit…

  • Post A to Z Road Trip

    Yesterday, I signed up for the Post A-to-Z Road Trip, on the A to Z Challenge page (thanks for the image included in this post) so in a way this post should have gone up then (I am writing this yesterday, HA!) and this very post is taking the slot…

  • Derriere la gare Saint Lazare

    Dans des rues tristes et grises je me promène. Il pleut. La pluie, elle ne me derange pas, j’ai un parapluie. Ici, personne ne vient par hazard. Ceux qui viennent, ici, ont un but (précis). une destination. Les touristes ne se perdent pas ici, derriere la gare de Saint Lazare,…

    Yesterday Melissa Barker-Simpson nominated me for my fist ever blogging award, the Real Neat Blog Award. And guess what, I am flattered to be considered for an award. Melissa, thank you so much! As it seems to be the tradition with awards, she has asked all of her nominees a…

  • An unlikely death

    She dried her tears with her handkerchief. There he lay, helpless, lifeless, cold, so fragile and so small in his wafer thin coffin. He, who had been her best friend, her true love, her soulmate, her little brother, her twin. Mother had always been worried about his health. The doctor…

  • If we were having coffee – 9 May, 2015

    If we were having coffee today, then I would ask you if you’d be ok with a glass of water, I would also be willing to make you some freshly pressed orange juice. We would then settle down for a nice afternoon chat, or maybe go outside and have a walk…

  • Von einem der auszog um aus der DDR nach Italien zu reisen – “Der Spaziergang von Rostock nach Syrakus” von Friedrich Christian Delius

    Heute ist man sich nicht mehr bewusst, wie schwer es für DDR Bürger war in nicht Sozialistische Republiken zu reisen. Heute ist der Flug nach Italien schnell gebucht, Landesgrenzen sind im heutigen Europa kein Problem. Paul Gompitz, ein sächselder Kellner aus Rostock, hat eine fixe Idee, die ihn nicht mehr los…

  • Polished shoes

    Luke looked down at his feet. He gulped, what he saw was not good. Not good at all.  The shoes he was wearing were not a pair, on the left he wore a dressy show, freshly polished and on the other foot, well something, that one day in the past…

  • My first A to Z Challenge – Reflections Post

    April is over, 30 days that went by in a flash! There is more than one reason for that: April was a beautiful month, we had summer weather most of the time. | During April I worked quite a bit more than in the previous months. | And of course there…

  • If we were having coffee – 2 May, 2015

    If we were having coffee, I would propose to make some great tea, maybe a Puh Erh or Oolong, because I do not really drink coffee. I would then sit down with you and tell you that I am all new to the Weekend Coffee Share hosted by Part Time…
