Hi, my name is Writer. This is a short story of my life in a motorhome dictated to my scribe Doc. I don't have a Nome de plume because I report only the facts as they occur around me, and I have nothing to conceal. Therefore, why would I name a feather? My story is a true account mostly, except where Doc has made spelling, writing, or translation mistake, to which I'm not accountable for since I’m only a schnauzer. I am a true Texan; no bull, you can check my pedigree. Writer's journals from six weeks to one year.

Freise tut das auf jeden Fall. Mit seiner ersten Hörspielveröffentlichung tanzt Markus auf einem Drahtseil, wobei er sich stets mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit nach vorne bewegt...
