Doubt

Stasi prison July 17, 1986

The time is eating on me and the doubt.

Why am I alone in this vehicle?

How long still?

Inside a Stasi prison van. Perspective from the driver cabin. Windowless cell boxes to the left and right. The vans were marked as delivery vans with produce promotion and the likes.

Trying to make out direction or sounds to give me clues.

It’s impossible though within these locked, dark cell boxes.

If they send me closer to home though we should leave the autobahn now.
