Never ending wait

Stasi prison May 27, 1986

Massively worried again.

I got too much time to think.

The silent treatment is wearing.

 

Is there a reason for all this?

Why is nobody talking to me?

Will I ever see my comrades again?

 

Less than three months on my sentence.

It is very rare that someone goes on transport shortly before their sentence ends.

I have seen 5 or 6 folks stay until their very last day to be released back into the country.

 

That would be my biggest nightmare.

What would happen to my life?

Would I ever get out?

Apparently the Stasi planned to release me back into the country. This note includes an alert to prepare for surveillance and other measures to prevent additional action after my release. Of course I knew nothing about it in the solitary confinement cell.

My parents came in vain yesterday yet again.

Another visitation day cancelled on them.

Would they have news from the lawyers?

 

Can’t keep my concentration longer than a couple of minutes.

These grueling questions day in day out.

More waiting...
