Die Reise

Die Reise

June 25, 2017 by Merrill Lyew Emanuel Leave a Comment

Die Reise

.
(* Eine Micro-Fiction Story von Merrill Lyew Emanuel)
.
Ich zog die Gardinen des Hotelfensters zurück, das Zimmer hellte sich auf, die warmen Sonnenstrahlen drängten durch die Haut.
Ich holte mir ein buntes Polohemd aus dem Gepäck.
Im kompakten Mietwagen bog ich meine langen Beine zusammen, dann traten wir die ersehnte Tour durch das unbekannte Bergland an. Zügig fuhren wir durch die allzu steilen Straßen. Beim Klettern wurde der Blechkasten merklich langsamer. Dafür raste er mit wahnsinniger Eile bergab. Mein Herz hämmerte hart gegen den Magen. Ich bereute es, überhaupt eingestiegen zu sein. Endlich blieb der Wagen schnaufend stehen.
Ich schwöre, in eine Achterbahn steige ich nie wieder ein.
