Er muss lernen, dass man in in diesem Land nur auf sich und Gott vertrauen kann. Die unendliche Weite des Landes und die Einsamkeit erscheinen ihm wie aus einer anderen Welt. Doch mit Hilfe seines Freundes und Mentors Ethan Brown besteht er alle Gefahren und wird zu einem bekannten Westmann. Und auch die Liebe kommt nicht zu kurz.

My dress clings to my body as the rain soaked through the thin fabric. We stand sheltered underneath the shed's perforated wooden roof, our wet bikes pitched up against its moulding timber walls, feeling the temperature drop around us. I don't realise I'm shivering until Mannfry's warm hands reach for my shoulders and he starts softly rubbing his arms up and down the length of my arms. There's a slight smile on his parted lips. With every breath he takes, I see his condensing misty breath exhale around us. I take very slow deliberate steps towards him until I am able to turn my head and rest my left cheek on his chest. from this angle, I can see Postdamm 44 in all its glory as it stands against the grey cloudy sky. Its dark wooden beams blend in with the wetting cherry brick. The overgrown vines up its side glistened wetly. The house was made for this landscape and every part of it screams so. As I take in the great historical house, I feel Mannfryd hesitating against me. His heart beats louder, creating a rhythm with the platter of the rain around us. His hesitation doesn't last. I feel his muscular arms wrap tentatively around me, engulfing me in his warm cocoon. I feel his lips touch the top of my head and have to close my eyes as the warmth sends a lovely shiver down the back of my neck and the length of my spine. __________________ A last-minute biking trip through northern Germany sounds like the perfect getaway for Amani. Away from the bustling city of Dubai, away from her overbearing parents, her ungrateful boss, her catty friends and her unattainable crush. After meeting her tour guide, the silent and borderline unfriendly Mannfryd, she starts to second-guess her rash decision. Add the wet and rainy German weather and what was meant to be a resetting expedition slowly turns into a nightmare. When a neglected house numbered 44 on the street called Postdamm stops her in her track, she learns that the north had more in store for her than she'd expected.

It's a not so distant future in Germany; political tensions just frayed, leading to civil war and their many states declaring independence. Of course, I'm the only one writing the events as they happened on our tour of duty from Expo-Park, on our mission to recapture Hannover - and in turn defend Lower Saxony from sinking into... you get the idea. But before you start asking questions, well, this is just an alternate fictional future. I'm only a military rebel member. And you're the one reading my entries. Well, let's read together!
