Jumping

Stasi prison July 23, 1986

The border.

What are they proztecting here, the fucking universe?

Miles of towers, barbed wire installations, armed patrols and check points.

The bus drives through a special lane.

Passing all standing cars, all check points.

Driving at walking speed before the last check point.

The bus door opens, bus rolling ever so slowly.

The Stasi officers jump out the slowly rolling bus.

A massive burst of noise, screams, yelling, tears!

WE MADE IT!

FREE AT LAST!
