"Is it possible to write a serious, dramatic

  • "Is it possible to write a serious, dramatic work of literature on FoldingStory?" The FoldingStory community laughed. "No."
  • But Jesrin was determined. This, yes THIS story would be the first serious story ever to unfold. No jokes. No silly characters. No sex. Ready? And so Jesrin began:
  • It was a wet Sunday in Berlin in this serious story. Gunther balled his fists under the table and his knuckles whitened. Rain spattered against the window. Time passed.
  • His contact was late. Gunther shook his watch. East German clockwork was always skipping. She walked in and rustled her umbrella. "So you want to get to the West?" she smiled.
  • "That's best done by floating over the Wall on a windy day." Gunther wanted to try Coca Cola & wear nylon stockings, so he met the lady with the large umbrella at Checkpoint Charli

    Same here - people tried all kinds of ways to get over the Wall and having a lady with a big umbrella help was a very serious proposal for a noir story set in East Berlin in 1966.
