Another War Story

BY KATRIN PFÄNDLER

Performed: January 2014

Imagine you meet someone. Imagine you find that someone attractive. Imagine you like his looks, her smile, his voice, the way she talks, the way he treats you. Imagine you get nervous when that someone is around. Imagine you want to be close to her, get to know more about him. Imagine that someone feels the same way about you. 

Imagine you fall in love and the only thing that stands between you and that specific someone is six years of war. 

And yet, it is 1945, the war is over. 

How do you stop fighting in a soldier's mind? How do you forget about 'nation' if it is what you have killed for? How do you escape from the ones that have been shot and burned and raped? 

It is 1945, but when is the war over?
