10 December
After operating the ground floor buzzer to no effect, I proceed at once to all the bell buttons of the upper floors. The door buzzes and I push it open. Up the stairs I go. At an entrance door, a young blonde female flinches and backs off into the apartment. One floor up, a young man with short blond hair lurks in a door frame that can barely fit his height. The apartment entrance door is almost pulled shut behind him. Next, an elderly lady with white hair peeks through a crack in the door. She claims she’s not dressed as an excuse.
On my way back downstairs, I hear the sound of doors being shut and opened again. “I never saw the like” an elderly woman, noticeably outraged, says to a man. The man laughs.
My street`s my Advent calender. Today`s date is the 1st of
December 2015. I ring the doorbell at 1 Teichstraße in
order to open the first window. [German:“door“ of an Advent calendar]
