Job with enthusiasm. What it tackles, everything it takes care of for its company to the most complete satisfaction. It is, has never disrupted it that at this permanent. Sometimes it wondered what it has at all an apartment for. Because he is rarer than three, four days in the month at home. When he came home, he was but always pleased to see his familiar four walls again, to put his feet on the table high, to let be fifth straight and only to rouse himself to it anyway, he feels like it for what. He idled only around mostly but this was also his good right. It had concluded a good deal in a town in several stores again, was at the station and waited on the next train which should further bring it about. All its colleagues drove dedicate with it car from town to town but it did not want to use this. Not, that it would not have a car, everything was driver's license, no this availably or else none. And but he enjoyed the journeys with the train. It entered nothing more beautiful, as himself into a compartment to badgered to read newspaper or simply only to look from the window and to look at the past terrific landscape comfortably.
He also used the time to fill out and economized
an immense time with that in the train around his papers of which he otherwise must take care at the end of a journey, at home or in the office. Time could the him hobbies use, for other things, perhaps his, or else idle also only at this.
He saw buildings again and again when looking at the landscape which flew at the train past he was personally interested in, and he intended to inspect these. But if he then drove on again, this everything was forgotten and past. As a rule, he did not manage his work lecture to this little time to go to these places.
For certain sometimes he took his time and then went to these buildings or vantage points and sniffed in them around. Then he was content again and made himself to his real work, selling perfume.
Spare looking alone at the buildings in the passing train, satisfaction was for it. That it saw these buildings of far and then imagined like people into this lived, this imagination was a special experience for it and it forgot room and time while it then was dreaming so at that time and also
today. Already sometimes it has driven this through too far when it missed the station by the dreaming at which it would have had to get out. But he then did not care. He climbed into the next train which brought back him to the place in which he would have had to get out
.
Also today, he looked forward to the train ride, was at the tracks and waited for the train full of longing again. The twilight crept slowly tear and everything wrapped in the same gray gloomy color from the horizon.
Actually he wanted to stay here in this town but since the next town more than ten hours remote from here lay, he wanted to save the money for a hotel and sleep for this in the train in his compartment. It already had something like that the made many times, it did not save itself only money but also time and these only should suit it fine so.
The train had got back, how spare quite a few times delay again. That Kurt would irritate something like that it was not, however, he outside and so would not at all warmly here
already be pleased to be able get on into the train finally to warm oneself up again.
A loud whistle announced the fast train. It extremely fast shot, the brakes squeaked, as the train driver keep the train to this into the station one took.
Kurt climbed into the freight car, took the only best compartment and locked the door behind himself. One, man already sat in this compartment, sunk in a newspaper deeply.
„Good evening.“ Kurt like always polite greeted the passenger. But he did not receive any reaction, this one man ignored him completely. Kurt was used similar already spare used. Some of the fellow passengers held on simply for something better and did not condescend to greet others although a normal intellect and decency commanded this to him one.
What Kurt made nothing to himself but sat down, who his opposite number was or else without thinking to this reaction arranged he crossed his legs on square opposite, his chin counted on his
hand the landscape and looked, in the falling night.
The whistle announced the departure this sound. The train got with a firm jerk into movement. The wheels slowly trudged in bulk. The steam showed it the train dragged a heavy load along behind itself hiss a heavy one. But it managed finally to get journey anyway.
Kurt let today pass revue, as the door the compartment was torn up. „The tickets asks“! The voice of the inspector boomed by the room.
Kurt pulled the ticket out of the inside pocket of his suit and watched the card of his opposite number like the inspector postmarked. To this his opposite number had to put the newspaper on the side and Kurt could see his face now. It was a strong face, provided with deep folds. The man was not old but the a lot of worries and the efforts of his life showed the folds. The reaction for this was perhaps a worried life not care about other and leave these also on the left.
After the inspector had franked the card of his
opposite number, he turned round and left the compartment. „Hello inspector, they do not want to frank my card either?“ But no reaction came from the inspector. Kurt taken aback saw on his ticket. Much already had happened to him on his journeys but it was for the very first time there that a inspector did not want his card.
He knew at first glance should not behave like him. Therefore he asked his opposite number: „Have they understood this now?“ But still this did not react
„Hello, I talk with them.“ It made Kurt to speak further test with his opposite number.
But in turn he showed no reactions.
Kurt taken aback rubbed his chin top.
„Please, you excuse it.“ Kurt knocked for his opposite number at the knee. And this did not react again. But simply further read in his newspaper. But Kurt of firm, these supplied man now had since he read the newspaper, not turned over one single time yet. A very long and
interesting article had already to stand on this side if one could read to this so long. Of course also had been the opportunity that this man would read extremely slowly. But this should not disturb Kurt.
Was more than surprising that he, however, showed no reactions on the requests of Kurt.
And Kurt rattled at the knee of his opposite number and got a little louder with the voice again. „Can they not talk or do they not want to talk with me?“
Nothing happened. It made him furiously that you ignore. Kurt beat the man the newspaper from his hand and spoke to him annoyedly: „they are an ignorant asshole. Their neighbors could you or else generally give me an answer at least even if perhaps they do not like me.“
Furthermore his opposite number held its hands above as if he still held the newspaper in his hand. But a reaction could not be seen now yet, too. What did or who was his opposite number only what kind of man?
Starr was looking for Kurt's opposite number in front of herself to. The eyes rolled at this from left to right so as if he would actually further read the newspaper. „There is not this anyway.“ Kurt mumbled. Was more than displeasing the behave man in front of him.
Kurt got up, with such a man it was impossible for it to sit in the same compartment furthermore. He left his suitcase, for the time being he had this one put before in the net there about himself lie to look around for another compartment, whether one was still free at all. Furthermore he wanted to be on the lookout after the inspector and show him the ticket. He felt unwell in the skin if this card was not franked.
Kurt left the compartment, and links looked into the corridor to the right and went then on the corridor of Link tear. He saw another man hardly that he had stepped on the corridor, this one approached him.
This ran exactly in the middle of the Ganges while Kurt was running on the window side. When they both were on the same level Kurt pushed himself
completely to the wall of the towing vehicle during the approaching any institutions not made to go onto the side. He strongly bumped into Kurt, did even not apologize but went on unflusteredly.
„Thank you beautifully!“ said Kurt to him but this man did not react either.
Kurt asked „driving here only assholes and idiots in this train?“ loudly. But the man showed no reactions again. Kurt stared after this man for a long time until this had disappeared from his field of vision. The one or others had for certain ignored or else overlooked him before. But if one appealed to the people, then one got a reaction, but here anyway, as a rule? Kurt was more than only confused.
He went the corridor further and looked into every compartment. People sat everywhere, either which was stiff with himself to or else with closed eyes leant back sat there. It was more than only understandable that the people slept partly. Because it had become late evening in the meantime and one could take the right there to be tired. Because the one came exhausted by the
work, complete certainly, the other one perhaps had made only an excursion and wanted now home.
It was already interesting to puzzle, who does what, who comes where from. There were the most different people in a train. The one perhaps was a seller, the other only housewife and had paid a visit to her friend, another one was perhaps lawyer or even judge. Much also gave it to people, many professions and destinies told behind this so. And this made such a train journey only interesting. One could start the one or other a conversation and the one or other learned important so.
Kurt also had for certain experienced people who conditionally did not want to talk by the tiredness who only preferred to sit in their compartment and to want to prefer their peace. Or else with their problems not simply got ready and sat there and brooded prefer. But nevertheless one could ask them something and an answer also got if also perhaps surly. But one got her.
