In the back of the bus

Stasi prison July 23, 1986

Autobahn for a good half hour.

Vogel in front with his Western Volvo.

The Stasi people still in the bus behind us.

How long will the trip take?

What will happen at the border?

When will my parents know the news?

It is awfully quiet in here.

Everyone is in deepest thoughts.

Plus we hate these idiots in the back.
