The Road Back

Cover The Road Back
Genres: Fiction
In front of the station we scatter like a bucket of water pitched out on the pavement. Kosole sets off at a sharp pace with Bröger and Trosske down Heinrich Street. With Ludwig I turn rapidly into Station Avenue. Without wasting any time in farewells Ledderhose and his rag-and-bone shop have already gone like a shot: and Tjaden gets Willy to describe briefly the shortest route to the mollshop. Jupp and Valentin alone have any leisure. No one is awaiting their arrival, so they take a preliminary... saunter round the station on the off chance of finding some grub. They intend later on to go to the barracks.
    Water is dripping from the trees along Station Avenue; clouds trail low and drive swiftly over. Some soldiers of the latest class to be called up approach us. They are wearing red armbands. "Off with his shoulder-straps!" yells one, making a grab at Ludwig.
    "Shut your mouth, you war-baby!" I say, as I shove him off.
    Others press in and surround us.
