Chapter 1
Third Reich slowly woke up. However, she just turned to the other side and tried to go back to sleep. After a while she noticed that she could no longer fall asleep. It took a while after that until she turned on the TV and got back into bed, grabbed all the pillows next to her bed and threw them on the bed so that she was a little more comfortable.
Reich was looking for an interesting program, but she couldn’t find one. After going through everything three times and realizing there wasn’t anything interesting, she got up, grabbed her favorite jacket and a pair of pants she’d been wearing for two days and pulled them on.
After that, Third Reich went downstairs and made himself breakfast. Not wanting to make anything too complicated, she searched through the wooden cupboards until she remembered that there were leftover kohlrabi soup from yesterday in the fridge. So she took out the soup and put it on the stove.
After doing that, she walked into the living room and daydreamed about what it would be like to have a partner that she loved. But it was all just fantasy, a fairy tale that would never come true, from her point of view. Third Reich didn’t even know what it felt like to be in love and she was sure no one would ever love her.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have any friends either, because she didn’t dare to approach people and talk to them. From time to time she would also like to sink into her dream world and never wake up from it again, but those were all just wishes and dreams, that couldn’t really happen, could it?
Now she remembered her soup, so she went into the kitchen and took the soup off the stove after stirring it briefly. Reich poured the kohlrabi soup into a soup plate and carried it to the dining table. After getting a glass of sparkling water and a spoon, she ate the soup.
After she finished, she went back to her room to continue painting one wall. She has been working on the picture for some time. However, she still can’t tell what the picture is about, even she didn’t know herself because she just painted it out of feeling.
Having made some progress, she went downstairs and looked for something interesting on the TV. After a short time she got bored again and decided to go for a walk in the woods. She liked spring, because of the colors, but it was the time when she had the most bad luck.
Third Reich could often be very clumsy and in the spring it was always worse than usual. But she had a much bigger problem with the summer temperatures, even though her birthday was in the middle of summer. She couldn’t stand summer.
After she got back, she did a few more things and then went shopping. The sun was almost down when she drove there and some gray clouds covered the sky. Luckily there wasn’t much going on when she was shopping, which she thought she could finish faster, at least because Reich then saw that most of the people were standing at the checkout. Eventually she came outside and drove back home.
Third Reich drove slowly and carefully down the street. It was pouring rain, but otherwise there was nothing interesting. The forest looked like it always did and it was already night. Reich continued to drive down the road, but suddenly she heard a strange sound coming from the depths of the forest.
Suddenly, she saw a creature larger than a dog walking into the street. Reich braked immediately so as not to injure the animal. After the car stopped, she got out of it to check on the animal. The creature was hard to see, but it didn’t move.
It stayed in front of the car. Even when the headlights lit it up, it was hard to see. Reich moved closer to shoo it away. She tried to shoo it away with her hands, but it wouldn’t move an inch. She walked closer to it when it suddenly started to growl.
However, she ignored this and kept trying to move it away. Eventually, the wild animal bit her arm, causing the blood to splatter and stain her jacket red. She fell over and tried to free herself, which she managed to do, but then the creature bit her in the neck. Luckily not really strong, but strong enough to rip open the artery a bit. After a short time she passed out and no longer noticed what was happening around her.
