The awakening

He woke up in horror and immediately knew: It cannot carry on like this! How did he know? He only knew that he was alive and breathing.

Immediately he stood up and tumbled into the bathroom. He leaned on the sink and for a moment he looked into the mirror. What he observed he didn´t like, not in a long time!

She would not have been able to cope with him feeling so bad because since birth they had a particularly close connection. And nothing had ever changed about that. Suddenly he
