Rike kehrt an die Ostsee zurück, nahe der Schlei. Der Wind schlägt ihr entgegen wie früher: kühl, salzig, unerbittlich. Das Katenhaus, die Kaimauer, der Sommer von damals alles holt sie ein, ohne Vorwarnung. Und dann steht sie ihr gegenüber: dem Mädchen im Spiegel. Diesmal läuft sie nicht weg. Denn sie hat hier noch etwas offen.

Als Kind musste Don Pablo Mulemba, Sohn eines angolanischen Vertragsarbeiters und einer Ostdeutschen, ständig seine Hautfarbe erklären. Er selbst empfand sich selbstverständlich als deutsch. Er sprach den gleichen Dialekt wie alle anderen, kannte nichts anderes als die brandenburgische Provinz – und wurde doch immer wieder zum Fremden gemacht. Seine Eltern hatten sich in der DDR kennengelernt, aber der Osten der Nachwendezeit war kein sicherer Ort mehr für sie und ihre Kinder.

We Only Came to Dream is a memoir, not a novel, of the Counterculture Era (“hippie”). It is often one of high humor, silent introspection, and even danger. It was a time of social upheaval, a redefinition of the role of sex and race, and what it meant to be part of the mainstream…or not.

In the fall of 2025, Clay-Chalkville High School in Alabama chased a championship in the space between memory and change. Friday nights arrived with familiar rituals and quiet pressure. Helmets were buckled. Lights came on. A stadium that held decades of voices stood on borrowed time, even as a new season demanded full attention. Wins accumulated, but so did moments that never appeared on a scoreboard – conversations in parking lots, superstitions repeated without explanation, lessons passed down rather than announced.
