Mein lieber Anna,
I awoke with a start.
For the first time after we fled the Eisler Memorial, I had a dream. The dream was all about a career soldier in Prague. He said he was looking for a woman a friend told him he had to meet. He invited me to the restaurant where he’s meeting the woman, and asked me a lot of questions.
“What is your name?” said the man.
“I don’t have a name.”
“Oh” the man answered, “I see, you don’t want to give your name, well that’s good for your safety boy. What are you doing here all by yourself? Where are your parents?”
The words came out of me so naturally, like i knew the man right from the start.
“I’m looking for my sister. She said she’ll be waiting for me here. But she’s gone. I have to go and find her.”
The man had a smile on his face. He gave me a bread with jam on it.
“How will you look for your sister? You seem lost… where do you live?”
“The Three Frogs. My sister and I live there.”
“Three Frogs.. hmm, I’ve never heard of Three Frogs. Let’s see, how about I take you to the Police station?”
I suddenly stood from my seat.
“I will not go to the police. They will take me away from my sister.”
“I see, I see. Calm down now.”
He gave me more bread and jam. Just when I’m about to finish my bread, the woman she’s going to meet came.
I knew her face very well. It was Anna.

Anna
Did you really try to save me that day, or did you just confuse me with my sister? What they did to those people, they deserved it. They were monsters with big eyes and big mouths. Have you survived the fire? I hope you didn’t. The fire will be good for you. it was fun watching it, did you know?
