This is my first WWI story. It takes place in Germany in 1914, and tells of a boy named David aged 25. He lives with his family in Frankfurt. Enjoy!
It's an normal sunny day in June in Frankfurt. David is with his friend Matthias buying new clothes from the nearby store. He has 5 marks to use, and Matthias 2. They want to buy new hats, because their old ones were flushed to an lake on an windy day. David finds an fine grey hat, and asks the price "Wie viel kostet das?" The seller answered "2 mark, bitte." I said to the seller "Ich kaufe das, hier, 2 mark." "Danke schön", the seller thanked. "Ich kaufe das auch" said Matthias. "Danke schön auch dich" thanked the seller again. "Auf wiedersehen" yelled David and Matthias when we exited the shop. The both were now heading back to their homes. David lived with his girlfriend Marie and Matthias with his family. They walked towards the centre, and separated after David went his own way. "Bis morgen" said David, and Matthias replied after.
When David got home, he opened the door and hanged his jacket and hat on the stand. Marie walked to David and hugged him. She after that asked "Wie war der Tag vergangen?" David answered "Gut, ich habe eine neue Hut gekauft." "Es sieht fein aus, wie viel hat es gekostet?" asked Marie. "Nur 2 mark." David said. "Es ist gut, komm zu essen" said Marie. David went for dinner. He listened to the radio meanwhile, and heared that there are some unrest in Europe. He said "Hoffentlich wird es keinen Krieg geben." Marie answered "Ja, und dann würden du in den Krieg ziehen." I answered "Auf jeden fall, es ist meine Pflicht, aber keine Sorge, es wird keinen Krieg geben." "Ja, wir haben Hochzeit in 3 monaten." said Marie. "Ja, ich heirate die schönste Frau, wie viel Glück ich habe." i answered. Marie blushed and kissed me, and said "Ich bin der Glückliche." I answered "Nein ich bin". Marie gasped and went to bed. She asked "Kommst du mit mir?" David answered "Nein, ich lese eine Weile." Marie went to the bed, and David followed after half an hour. Marie had already fallen asleep, and David did that too pretty fast.
