This is, finally, the second piece of the Three Pieces of Three trilogy: Lauf des Lebens. I wrote this short story two years ago on February 12, 2006. It was a rainy day and cold outside, I still remember, and I was in a lovely mood.

Piece I: Die Spielstraße (published January 23, 2008; PDF; ~44KB)
Piece II: Lauf des Lebens (published February 12, 2008; PDF; ~50KB)

The last piece is set to be available to you on the first day of March 2008. This I can reveal already: It is the twisted story of one man’s shoe and one shoe’s man, thrivingly intertwined in the warm world of a dark-dark ballroom.
