The Box

Write a story with the title "The Box"

Destroyed houses and buildings, scattered streets were around her. As Annie looked up she noticed the dark and dim sky. The sky still looked the same as 2 weeks ago, but tonight there wouldn't be a bomb alarm.

Germany finally capitulated!

Annie didn't know if she was actually happy about it. Of course she appreciated that it was all over. The anxiety and fear were gone, but too much has happened to Annie. The pain and disappointments changed her life forever.

Would there still be a happy ending for her..?

The girl walked through her destructed home district of Berlin. On her left was one of the many "Mietkasernen", a large building with many small flats with poor hygiene which were rented for very high prices as everyone moved to Berlin during the time of industrialization and of course the shared lavatories were smelling horribly especially in the winters when the water was frozen. These ridicules dwellings which had already been exhausted when they were built were now wrecked and uninhabitable. Only pieces of concrete were still hanging in the dusty air.
