Tagebuch...September...Freitag...15:00h.....
letzter Grillabend...
Boaahh
Klamotten,
Arbeitssachen,
Akten, Laptop,
in die Ecke geschleudert.
Hatte schon auf der Fahrt nach Hause,
einen "KΓΌhlen Blonden" im Kopf.
Oh ja,
ein kalter Kasten Pils ,
am Liegestuhl parat,
den Grill auch vorgeheizt
auf 180 grad.
Spear Ribs und etwas vom Nacken.
Auch Steaks vom Haifisch,
egal wie teuer.
Heute wird nicht gespart
sondern aufgetischt.
Und es gibt auch Nachtisch.
Denn auf der Garten-Terasse,
ist heute eine Fete angesagt.
Behind all your stories is always your mother's story. Because hers is where yours begin. A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. Today I am writing my mother from inside a body that used to be hers. Which is to say, I am writing as her daughter.Β

βHow ironic,β King Baqoure was saying, βYou, who praise yourselves on fighting better than any other army, are captured by the very men you say you fear. You, who murder people every day, couldnβt even kill my men. You, who harm your own people, just to ensure your own safety, are now the ones who will be harmed. You-β
βLies!β someone said, just barely above a whisper.
All of the prisoners flinched and glanced out of the corners of their eyes.
The king stopped and looked behind him, down the row. He hadnβt seen whoβd said it.
βWhat was that?β he sneered
The boy I had seen earlier met the kingβs eyes. βWhat you say is not true. We are not barbarians. We are not villains. We defend our city from those who are a threat! We do not kill people because we want to. We kill people because we have to!β
King Baqoure laughed a little, βAre you trying to tell me that you are good people?β
The boy glared at him. βYes. Better than your people.β
