The Coldest War
“The effect was discovered by Luigi Galvani in the late eighteenth century. It was rediscovered by Klaus on the morning of his first full day as a free man.
He’d arrived at his new flat by early afternoon. The package from Marsh contained the key and a lease already signed under Klaus’s new identity, Hans Kannenberg. (He made a mental note to practice his new signature.) The flat was a corner unit over a greengrocer, with an oriel window that overlooked the grocer’s awning at the intersection of... two lanes lined with shops. The long wooden floorboards creaked with every footstep; the bedroom wainscoting had a prominent mouse hole; the kitchen had only one tiny cupboard for storage. It was, he supposed, quaint.
And luxurious compared to Klaus’s expectations: the flat had a private bath. He’d taken it for granted he’d be given a room in a boarding house, forced to share a communal bathroom with a host of other residents.
Never in his entire life had Klaus enjoyed a private bathroom.MoreLess
