Random Scrap:
I still struggle to describe the nature of my relationship with S. We first met over six months earlier when I had just arrived in Berlin. I waited for him at a small Korean restaurant. All I knew about him when he walked in was that he was studying to become a doctor and that he had a tendency to reply to my messages at about three o'clock in the morning. I had suspected that he was not as innocent as his photos would have suggested.
We had kept in touch since then, but now it was the evening I was finally taking him out. I tried to play it cool when I saw him walking towards me, but I could feel my eyes filling with excitement. We got a quick coffee and then caught a U-Bahn heading to West Berlin. After stopping by a street art museum, we walked to a bar with its floor covered in sand - this is where, apparently, David Bowie used to hang out during his Berlin years. We ordered two beers while looking over a lady mannequin sitting next to us. She looked like she could make use of a drink as well.
