HISTORY
of the End of the World
First
Trip
I
have tried it before. Without the cards. Trying to reach my hometown
and where my battle started. I was actually forbidden to stay there
and was accompanied to the city-limits by the cops.
I
can reach my home-town by train in about three hours. But it started
after a couple of minutes. What it? The defense-mechanisms of the
ruling Elite. After a few minutes the train broke down and it finally
arrived at a main-railway station too late for any reasonable
connection. The next express took almost three hours, which should
have been 1 ½. There I was hit by a “traffic-stroke”. No trains,
because of a major accident and no connecting busses, due to a local
strike.
I
decided to walk. I knew the way. A simple road along the river of
some 20 miles. I bought some food and water and shouldered my
backpack. The first 10 miles were easy, though I was surprised by the
ancient buildings and ruins I passed. Some I remembered, other I had
never sen before. I passed several canals and small villages and
harbourcomplexes. When I finally saw the silhouet of the city and its
impressive waterfront, things became difficult. Roads were closed and
bridges demolished, which forced me east, away from the city. Finally
I was forced to climb all kind of iron fences or the path disappeared
into nothingness. When I finally succeeded in crossing the river and
climbing the city-wall, I was arrested by the police. Tresspassing of
military property.
The
cops brought me to the railway-station. Trains were functioning normal
again.
