The Secret Goldfish von Brain-chan ================================================================================ Prolog: Prolog -------------- It was about 2 years ago, when I met my best friend. The summer was hot as hell and I remember how I walked down Corner Avenue every day to escape my boring room at home. The trees cast clouds on the sidewalk and you could watch all these people how they tried to stay in the shadows with their bags in one hand and ice cream in the other. Kids were running down the street, full of pleasant anticipation, because they were going to visit the swimming lake to get a cooling. And I…well, I never joined them. When I was younger I always walked with them, but that was before Robert Manson moved in our town. This day I was all for myself, so I sat down and looked at the clouds-even if there were only a few of them - and enjoyed one of these rare light breezes. Today I am not allowed to feel the wind on my skin alone. Everything is more…well how can I explain it…it is more controlled. The story I like to tell is about this unique summer and how my life has changed since that one hot day. Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
