Sektion 20 (2011)
“He followed Eugen down a road close to Treptower Park. Eugen did not know Alex was right behind him and had stopped at every bicycle he found and let down the tyres. Alex started to tell people in the street what he was doing but they all ignored him.
When he woke at dawn, Alex immediately went through everything he could remember about his conversations with Eugen. Had he said too much? Had he said anything they didn’t know about him already? Eugen had asked several leading questions. Even the...n, Alex had started to feel a little uneasy about his cellmate. Now, looking back, everything was too convenient: Eugen saying he was not allowed to mix with the prison population, his ‘transfer’ after an afternoon in the cell.

He had only just got back to sleep, it seemed, when the wake-up bell sounded.MoreLess
