here it comes, my first story worth reading. enjoy and comment!
KOMMANDEUR KLOONTSCH
Kloontsch, auch bekannt als Kloontsch, Kommandeur der krawenzenden und knuteschlagenden Knilche – wie ihn seine Anhänger häufig zu nennen pflegten –, war fürchterlich mies drauf an diesem Tag. Wäre er doch einfach im gerade neu beschlagenen Nagelbett liegengeblieben, ja dann hätte er sich wenigstens nur mit den für diese Jahreszeit üblichen sinnlosen Anrufen diverser Sektierer und anderem kyrillischem Abschaum herumschlagen müssen.
Aber er hatte natürlich unbedingt auf die Gasse hinaus gemusst. „Mal sehen was der ewig-dunkle Regenmoloch an Abenteuern bereithält,“ waren seine ersten Gedanken gewesen, nachdem der alltägliche, rasende Kopfschmerz im Bereich der linken Gehirnhälfte langsam nachließ und er wieder einigermaßen klare Gedanken fassen konnte. Und so erhob er sich zermartert, schlüpfte in seinen grellgelben Overall und strebte der Außenwelt entgegen.
Der komische kleine Mann im Hausflur mit seinen neonfarbenen, augenkrebsverursachenden Klamotten schob ihm im Hinausgehen wie jeden Morgen eine Handvoll Pillen zu, welche Kloontsch frag- und emotionslos mit einem großen Schluck lecker hochprozentig-eisgekühlten Alkohols in seinen Magen spülte (sollte das etwa der seit langem verschollene Geschmack des Suds aus dem halluzinogen wirkenden Kraut Jaristafai sein?). Wie auch immer, die Visionen fingen schnell, vehement und eigentlich schon beim Durchschreiten der silbernen Hauspforte an.
Der Kommandeur ließ seinen getrübten Blick langsam über die Gasse schweifen, die er nun seit ziemlich genau 67 Stunden sein Hegemonialgebiet zu nennen pflegte. Wie aus dem Nichts erschien ein grässlicher Schwarm einäugiger Flugratten, die ihn im Vorbeifliegen aufs übelste beschimpften. Kloontsch erschlug exemplarisch drei besonders laut und aufrührerisch wirkende Männchen und schritt dann mit grimmigem Lächeln tiefer in die sich verbreiternde Straße hinein, seine Hand ließ er voll vorausschauender Vorsicht sehr nah am Abzug seiner äußerst antik wirkenden Pistole baumeln.
Einer psychedelischen Aura folgend, welche sich wie der Schweif eines Regenbogens hinunter in die kesselförmig unter ihm liegende Altstadt schlängelte, stapfte Kloontsch langsam aber zielstrebig in seinen immer schwerer werdenden Militärstiefeln in Richtung Zentrum.
Urplötzlich wurde er in seinen Bewegungen unterbrochen, denn von irgendwoher erschienen rund um ihn herum eine Handvoll zu groß geratene Kleinwüchsige welche wie irr um Kloontsch herumrannten, dabei die wildesten und würzigsten Flüche ausstießen und gleichzeitig in atemberaubenden Tempo mit ihren dürren Ärmchen herumfuchtelten. Dies machte Kloontsch ganz kirre im Kopfe und gleichzeitig spürte er ein undefinierbares Pieksen in seiner Lendengegend. Er sah an sich selbst munter herunter und entdeckte zu seinem allergrößten Vergnügen seinen treuen Adjutanten Schnappzapf, der, um Aufmerksamkeit von seinem Kommandanten zu erheischen, piekste und quiekste.
Kloontsch erhob das Wort in lauter Lautstärke, jeden unlauteren Wettbewerb von vornherein lärmend vermeidend.
„Sei still! Dich brauche ich jetzt nicht!“ fuhr er befehlend seinen Adjutanten an. Diese Gefühlsschwankungen seines Kommandeurs kannte der kleine Schnappzapf schon zu genüge. Ebenso fürchtete er die üblen Strafmaßnahmen, die er schon unzählige Male über sich hatte ergehen lassen müssen, wenn er seinem Herrn nicht aufs Wort gehorcht hatte. So verstummte er verstimmt und schwieg beleidigt. Was blieb ihm auch anderes übrig – er war ja seit seiner Geburt zum Mitläufertum gezwungen. Er war nur ein Teil des großen Kommandeurs Kloontsch – wenn natürlich auch sein Bester.
Nachdem hiermit die Zuständigkeiten geklärt waren, befasste sich der Kommandeur wieder mit den vor ihm schwirrenden und sausenden Kleinwüchsigen, die allmählich seine Sinne zu benebeln begannen. Schwindel durchfuhr seinen Kopf und trotz der festen Militärstiefel fingen nun auch seine Beine an zu rebellieren. Sie wollten einfach nicht länger seinen Befehlen gehorchen und widersetzten sich seinem Kommando. Immer weiter weg sausten seine Füße und Kloontsch blieb nichts anderes übrig als irgendwie zu versuchen das Gleichgewicht zu halten. Wie zwei gigantische Gumminudeln hingen seine Extremitäten am Torso und er schaukelte in der Kommandozentrale weit oben, wie Löwenzahn im Wind, von Ost nach West und von Hinten nach Vorne. Aus den Augenwinkeln konnte er sehen, dass seine Beine nicht das einzige waren was sich in letzter Zeit verändert hatte. Die dürren Ärmchen der Eindringlinge, die sich hier so plötzlich und vehement in seine Welt gedrängt hatten, begannen nun anzuwachsen.
Immer länger und dicker schienen sich die Arme aufzublasen und bedrängten schon bald den Kommandeur aufs gefährlichste. „67 Stunden!“ zuckte es durch seinen Kopf. Schweiß lief seine Stirn herunter, perlte an seiner Nase ab und fiel dann mehrere Meter in freiem Fall an seinen Beinen entlang hinunter auf die harten Pflastersteine der Gasse. 67 Stunden war dies sein Hegemonialgebiet gewesen. 67 Stunden war er der unbestrittene Herrscher dieser Gasse gewesen und noch viel mehr, denn sein Reich erstreckte sich bis weit in den Altstadtkessel hinein. Und nun sollte alles wegen dieser Handvoll Wichte vorbei sein – sein Traum endgültig ausgeträumt? „Neiiiiin!“ schrie Kloontsch mit vor Zorn zitternder Stimme.
Und dann wußte er wissentlich wider sein bestes Gewissen was zu tun war. Es gab nur einen – sehr widerwärtigen – Weg seine Widersacher loszuwerden und diesen hatte er erst am vorigen Tag in seiner wöchentlichen Gramistel-Lehrstunde zum ersten Mal erprobt. Er hatte keinerlei Ahnung ob es klappen würde, doch er mußte es einfach versuchen. Und so holte er tief Luft. Und tiefer. Am tiefsten. Er holte so tief Luft, wie wohl noch niemand je zuvor in diesem Universum. Seine Lunge schien zu bersten, es fühlte sich an als wären 3 m³ Luft in dieser komprimiert worden, doch genau so musste es sein, um das nun beginnende, äußerst spektakuläre Spektakel zu entfachen.
Der Kommandeur begann nun die Luft langsam aber stetig ausströmen zu lassen wobei seine Stimmbänder nach und nach anfingen zu vibrieren. So entstand ein immer lauter werdender, sehr merkwürdiger Ton, sehr hoch und doch ungewöhnlich rein im Klang, ein Ton den man in dieser wild-wütenden Gegend des kapistelschen Planetensystems noch nie gehört hatte. Er klang wie tausend wilde rote Afgohmblüten deren Duft so intensiv ist, dass jede Wesen das diesem Phänomen ausgesetzt wird nicht umhin kann sich einer wohlverdienten Ruhepause hinzugeben. Auch auf die aggressiven, atonal aufstoßenden Angreifer Kloontschs begann der Ton Wirkung zu zeigen: sie ließen nach und nach vom Kommandeur ab, ihre Bewegungen wurden langsamer und sie schrumpften schrecklich schnell.
Kloontsch verstummte kurz darauf und das letzte Echo dieses faszinierenden klanglichen Meisterwerks verhallte tief im Altstadtkessel. Die ganze Stadt befand sich in einem gemütlichen Rauschzustand, alles war weich und nahm sich Zeit von welcher es nach dem Kampf unseres kommandierenden Krawallkopfes plötzlich wieder viel mehr zu geben schien. Kloontsch begann seinen Weg nun ungestört fortzusetzen, leicht benommen von der soeben vollbrachten Anstrengung. Nach einigen Minuten begann die vormals gepflasterte Straße in einen schlammigen Pfad überzugehen. Hier begann er also, der gefährliche aber notwendige Abstieg in die sagenumwobene, unnahbare, furchterregende und kesselförmige Altstadt von Brimboxlum am äußersten Ende von Kapistel III, der letzten anarchosyndikalistischen Enklave diesseits der sunogischen Sonnen.

hello says the flo!
yoyoyo!
i know i've been and still am a lousy blogger as i haven't posted much recently. but i've been busy busy busy enjoying my loads and loads of spare time without getting bored. last friday there was this hilarious evening i mentioned in my last post, we had a great time in reading all this stories, playing those little scenes. and we had a wonderful audience that was very concentrated and never got bored throughout the long long evening. it was a lot of input with some music in between and not all of our texts were easy-going fun stuff.
i was very nervous before that evening started, because i had decided to read one of my own stories (i wrote it with my good friend henning) which was a great deal for me as i never read anything like that in public before. and the story is quite weird stuff, too. but i finally did it and i got some very charming and pleasing comments, which i hope were honest critique and this encourages me to go on with my surreal and grotesque little stories. i think i'll post it here soon, so that those of you able to understand german can have a quick read through it. i'd love to read your honest critique on that story in form of a comment or two. so just do it, do it do it ;-)
after that hilarious evening last friday i had some nice days here in auxburg and then i went to lörrach with my mother to visit some relatives there and to do some day trips to switzerland (lörrach is very close to basel, for those of you who haven't got a clue what i'm talking about). and so we went to zürich on wednesday and to basel on thursday. both of the towns are really beautiful and picturesque, i very much enjoyed having a stroll through the ancient aprts of the cities. as both basel and zurich have never been destroyed in world war 1 or 2, the appearance of the cities differs quite a lot to german cities of similar age. i can only recommend a visit to those of you who have never been there... but one day is definitely too little time to see enough. in besel we went to the tingely museum which was a great experience too. i just love his sculptures. they are so big, enourmos and loud. quite industrial sound, long before that genre was acutally invented ;-)
well, i think that's it for now, tonight there's gonna be a bbq and then a great dj-set by dj koze at the kerosin, hopefully!
so take care out there, especially my friends in london and see you all soon!

some news...
hey mates!
i know i haven't been writing some days, but i've been bloody busy and so i couldn't find any spare time to post some words. and without a computer it's quite tricky too...
but the important news first: this friday, 15th of july, there's gonna be some kind of lecture where we will read out (loud) some literature and we will have some live music and other stuff. it's called SPRECHSTUNDE and will start at 8ish at the CAFÉ STRIESE in auxburg. i think it's gonna be quite interesting and we've got a lot of funny texts too, so if anyone of you is round here in bavaria... see you there!
well, and now to something completely different: my return and rebirth as a true auxburgian has finally happened. i already moved my stuff from munich to auxburg and i'm kind of living here again. and it's fantastic! my room is really nice and so is my new flatmate - my good old friend gerald whom i know since my very first day of studying here - and we already had a fabulous "farewell carmen / welcome flo"-party last thursday. it was great to see all those people again, the flat was quite crowded and a lot of drinks were drunk until 4 in the morning. rock'n'roll!!!
although i don't have anything to do (like a job or uni) at the moment i can't really complain about being bored - there's always stuff to do, friends to meet, things to buy and fun to have.
as all of you might guess i'm in a very good mood and i haven't fallen in that dark hole created by the cultural shock of coming back. and i hope i won't either. i do miss england and all my friends there or back in their home countries already (or finally) but i'm sure we'll meet soon and i'm very much looking forward to doing that. the summer is still long and hasn't really begun yet.
see you all soon and kisses from auxburg to everybody out there in this big wide and wild world ;-)

just a quickie!!!
hey!
just a quick update as it's been a week or so since i've written the last stuff. have been really busy (that means if not working but having something to do can be called busy!?). on wednesday i moved the first things to augsburg and it was abloddy hot day and some kind of odyssey as we had to go from munich to wasserburg (to put my new bed on the roof of lorenz' car) and then from there to augsburg via munich again. but we had a swim in that lovely small lake i posted a picture of the other day; and somehow we managed to avoid the thunderstorms on our way to augsburg.
well, after having moved the most essential things (stereo & bed & some books)to my new flat (pix will follow a.s.a.p.) i went back to munich for two days, met a lot of people and then i came to augsburg on friday to visit a seminar at uni (sprecherziehung) which is always fun and in the evening i saw the first rehearsal of the drama group i'm gonne rejoin immediately. a very nice day which found a lovely ending with some beers at the student pub near campus and then some more drinks and a spontaneous dj-session with michi at the kerosin (augsburg's best club i have to admit, and there was not one better club in england i've got to say). a hard night but fun.
the rest of the weekend was quite relaxed, i saw some more good friends, a strange play named "judith" and some strange shortfilm-collection named "ten minutes older" (both maybe too art-farty for me - i don't mean my friends of course).
mmh, and that's it for the moment, i'm at uni right now signing in for some courses in winter and then i'll head off back to munich for a couple of days.
so see ya all soon!
ah, and here's a music-tip:
i bought a bloody good sampler of some strange but good bands (some of them from munich others from america). it's called "freunde selbstgemachter unterhaltung" and published by the label gutfeeling in munich. some songs are quite strange, other are very catchy, so if you've got the possibility check it out...
