Maybe it is a bit confusing ( for her ) or a little confusing for everyone, I guess. Most of the time everyone is afraid of me, as I said before, don't panic. Anyways, the story of the book thief caught me. But the thing is that I told you only part of it. Yeah, PART of it. I was caught by the other part.
Let's just start with the thing I ended:
The book thief was looking at the lifeless body of Rudy Steiner. Her face covered with mud, and the tears falling from her cheeks.
"Rudy?" He lay with yellow hair and closed eyes, and the book thief ran toward him and fell down. She dropped the balck book. "Rudy" she sobbed, "wake up..."

She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers, her hands were trembling, her lips were fleshy, and she leaned in once more, this time losing control and misjudging it. Their teeth collided on the demolished world of Himmel Street. She did not say goodbye. She was incapable, and after a few minutes at his side, she was able to tear herself from the ground.
