The year was 1988, my family had moved from Southern California to East Berlin where my stepfather was accepted to teach at Humboldt University. This poem is a reflection on an East German supermarket. This is part of a larger memoir, Ghosts of East Berlin, some of which I have posted, including a complementary poem "A Supermarket in West Berlin." Photo Credit: My friend Kristina provided this photo of her mom as a child at the Wall in the 1960's or early 1970's. It captures so much of what I remember of both East and West Berlin.

I love the fall of the Berlin Wall. Like, the fact that people were just so sick and tired of being away from each other that they did that? I love it. Unless Ted-ed lied to me.

"It will be you and me, free."

"War spreads like disease." The harsh reality of war never allowed me to grow up, to be a kid. I became a war torn adult too early in my life. I became hurt too quickly and too much. They say war spreads like disease, so what's the cure? [Reader Insert Fanfic] -Finally completed as of 20 Nov. 2019 -kinda cringey + W A R N I N G + All events may not be accurate. The ones that are are purely coincidence--I swear!

It was a beautiful dream; as compelling and just as any in history – yet unattainable. Realizing it meant overcoming entrenched ideological and political divisions that had split a city and the world for half a century. Then it happened; overnight and without warning. And nothing would ever be as it was before. Set in the divided city of Berlin just before the revolutions of 1989, continuing through the unexpected fall of the Wall and German reunification, No Man’s Land chronicles events as experienced by Richard, an expatriate American working an unsatisfying yet profitable job selling software for a small US firm. As the story unfolds, he meets an array of people on both sides of the Berlin Wall; among them are Katerina Weber, the only child of a funeral director hell-bent on living every moment to the fullest; Knut Heino, a theology student working toward priesthood in an effort to avoid a real job, (according to Knut, work is the consequence of original sin, therefore, he wanted nothing to do with it); and Klaus, a former East German boarder guard who went over the Wall and could never adjust to life in the West. Stranded in West Berlin without the means to leave, Klaus asks Richard for a favor that requires an excursion to the eastern city. There he meets Traudi Franzke, an idealistic young nurse. The relationship that ensues, separated from reality by the notorious concrete border, exposes hopes long since betrayed but clung to nevertheless. It is a relationship that outlasts the Wall and the tumult of German reunification until Traudi’s life is destroyed by a secret past, completing a journey from an age of ideology to The End of History.

When Ludwig walks home after school in the east of Berlin, in early August 1961, he doesn't realize the next time he will see his parents might be in late 1989, that is, if he survives, for 28 years.

A short story on how the Berlin Wall parted people

Two brothers had spent their lives together. They always had each other. However, they soon wake up to find tons of soldiefrs between them.

yup, this story is kinda inspired by my history teacher showing us pictures he took while on his trips around the world and this book is historical fiction, none of these characters are real. On August 13, 1961, the berlin wall was made. That same year, is when 13 year old Finn Müller and Marie Fischer were just playing outside one day, until Marie had an idea to try to climb the wall to see what was on the other side. Finn, however, didnt like Marie's idea and just stayed behind. Marie thought that Finn was just being a scaredy cat but Finn knew what he was doing. Find out more in the story. also, cover art by me.
