So there we were, all five of us back again in the bar at the old Hotel Patagonia, sitting at a table under a really useless, squeaking ceiling fan that turned no more than about one revolution per minute. Since there was no air conditioning, we all usually chose cold beer to drink. That's what one does in the tropics -- drink cold beer. The year was 1983,...
Susan was a very attractive 23 year old woman, she had a decent set of 34C breasts and amazing 5'9" frame weighing in at 108 lbs. Her beautiful platinum blonde hair was the envy of most girls on campus and to top it all off, she was a genius. Just good at almost every subject she took on, especially Algebra. Today she was expecting a great day, because today...
Tales and myths from the American Wild West have fascinated boys all over the world during the last 140 years. An old saying says, "Boys are always boys and will never be adults" and therefore we middle aged men in our small Scandinavian town have an "Old West Club" with twelve members. Names as Wyatt Earp, John Ringo and Doc Holliday are magnified and fact...
The world's first stable, artificial wormhole, product of a multi-billion dollar, decades-long, international research project, was ten thousand kilometres long - and barely ten centimetres in diameter. For the first time in history, a person in Berlin could shake hands with a person in Rio de Janeiro. As a proof of principle, it was unquestionably a success...
"Your call is important to us...you are second in the queue...please hold the line...an assistant will be...Good afternoon, my name is Samantha. How can I help you today?" "Ah, yes...there seems to be a problem with my last telephone bill." Peter had been hanging on the phone for some time. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Samantha responded. "What seems to...
None of us had ever been to Berlin before. We got in the cab and asked the driver to take us downtown. He laughed and told us Berlin didn't have a downtown, but he knew where to take us. He knew somewhere we'd like. He drove us to the outskirts, into the old industrial heart of the city. He took us to the sort of nightclub you'd expect to see in a film abou...
It was one of those unbearably hot London days where the heat brings no pleasure but merely becomes a stifling blanket that lies over the great city, making people restless and short-tempered. My friend Sherlock Holmes would have been pacing the room eagerly awaiting news of criminal activity as he always referred to it as a 'murderous heat', making tempers...
Die Zeit in der Bahn verflog. Julia schrieb in feiner Handschrift über ihre letzten Monaten. Sie schrieb darüber, wie sie Dina, ihre Nachbarin bewundert hatte, wie sie mit ihrem Schreiben ins Stocken, mit sich in Zwiegespalt geraten war, wie der Auftrag durch Professor Sebag authentischer zu werden, sie ins Rotlichtmilieu geführt hatte, ohne dass sie sich fü...
You once told me that we were like two sides of the same coin; you wandering the earth searching for a permanent home and soul-mate whilst I longed to escape the confines of my perfect domesticity. You told me your greatest fear was to grow old and die alone with neither a loved one to hold your hand nor a child to validate your existence. Mine was to die...
[To my dear readers: "Let me know what you think so I can decide if this is worth continuing" Prologue The year was 3030 and the world was very different to how anyone could've pictured it. There were no flying cars, no alternate fuels and no virtual life. Everything got too real. The world ran out of fuel around the year 3000 – something which caused mas...
