The Ceremony goes as usual

'History always emphasises terminal events' Speer said to his Yank interrogators. History always written by the victors, of course. Your body is a machine. I lie on my back, fully clothed except for the cotton white underdrawers. Dirty words strolling on a Sunday to find a fightfightfight with lunchtime drinkers in beer gardens. Defending the nakedAryan bathers in the Tiergarten. Defending from nuance and difference. Serena Joy grips my hands as if it is she, not I, who's being fucked, as if she finds it either pleasurable or painful. This is not recreation, even for the Commander. This is serious business. the Commander, too is doing his duty.
