A Real Fictitious Crime Story – Letzter Teil
To some extent I feel uneasy about my friends having some serious, well-developed thoughts about the perfect murder, unless of course it is to help me write my story. Still, I haven’t found that certain twist. Just as I am sitting down at my desk and my thoughts start to fade into the depths of monotony and despair the phone rings obnoxiously. Though rather relieved than annoyed by that disturbance, I pick up the phone and find my friend Patrick on the other end. How could I forget about him! Surely he would supply me with the last detail that would hit off my story. …weiterlesen…

A Real Fictitious Crime Story – Teil 2
Yet I still did not have enough material to start writing. The obsession of writing a thrilling story would not at any minute leave my mind. I sought “inspiration” in the English Garden going for a long walk. With my head up in the clouds I bumped into Kathrin. Since Kathrin had a cheerful nature her anger about my absent-mindedness disappeared within a split second and already she was trying to cheer me up with her solution for my lack of creativity.

Thus, I would have much more to time to conceal the traces that could lead to myself. Oh, and also a person always feels most safest at home, so you can take advantage of the shock effect.”

and not upon the mountain-tops where she is found.
E.A. Poe
I had to write a crime story in my third year of university, which at the beginning sounded like a tremendous idea, considering that one does not often have the chance to write a piece of one’s own. Soon it turned out that not only the time factor, but also the storyline itself was turning into a problem. Genre stories are probably the hardest to write, at least for me, never having done so before. I had been racking my brain with the idea of the perfect crime and how to phrase it as an exciting tale and time had almost run out. I didn’t mean to create one of those regular run-of-the-mill or blood-and-guts crime stories, for I set myself the challenging goal to write about something new.
