a heavy fire destroyed a nearby school on monday, january 16, 2006
it's my car that one can see standing here, in this picture, under the collapsing building
the picture shows only a part of that large building which burnt
down completely
and it shows my poor car parked there - i had parked it there that
morning
i had parked my car there, i never do, but i did so - being off
from work that day -
to have it ready facing the direction to the park, where i wanted
to go with lotte later that day
my car stood there under the top of the building coming down, i
knew nothing after that
i was not allowed to have a look, not even from around the corner
of the next steet (my street)
next morning all the cars from that street were gone: now, where
was my car? was it destroyed?
i had to go and look for my car myself, not knowing in what state
it would be
apperently police had towed away all cars from the street that night
after the fire
none of the 'officials' could tell me where it was (unbeleavable,
but true)
only two days later i found it myself, at the main police station,
(happy news: not a scratch!)
three days later municipality 'offcials' phoned me: "we can't trace
where your car has been brought to after the fire." |
