1. A time that makes you believe
that humanity would have forgotten the rest ...

I. "I knew it! I knew IT!", Ann, a sixteen-year-old student, shouted at her rather confused-looking class teacher Mr. Asbacher, "they would come and ask me where I was! And now I have the presents. I'm not actually allowed to tell you why I was gone for so long! "
"Child, I ask you, come to your senses and don't make such a fuss! I have to know where you have been! After all, you logged off from me for two hours and I thought they could let you go for two hours! Why was that?" actually your cell phone not on? You were gone more than half a day! And nobody, not even your friends knew where you were! We were worried! Otherwise something could have happened to you! But the worst of all is, I don't know yet once where you have been! This is a school campground stay and I thought you'd have the common sense not to time out!But what are you doing, stay away overnight! I shouldn't have let you go without knowing where you were! I wouldn't have let you go at all you ... "
The door opened, Pauleen came into hers as well as Ann's room, mumbling a short OK at the violent shaking of her friend's head. and immediately disappeared again.
Silence stretched over them for a while.
"Yes, could I have an explanation now, please?"
Ann avoided her teacher's gaze and thought, 'Please, dear Lord, let my friends forgive me!' and informed her extremely angry teacher meekly: "I think I have no choice but to tell you the truth, but ..."
"But what, but nothing! I don't have the whole day and I want to get two presentations today! So do it now!"
Ann, stay calm! She thought. She couldn't mess it up now.
"Please," Ann tried to suppress the tremor in her voice, "I think you should take the time to listen to my apology.However, it could take longer. Please, if I ever tell you about it ... "
"What do you mean here? What do you think you are?"
"Let me finish! Please! I'm sorry I interrupted you, but I have to tell you now! Please! To understand it, you have to know the whole story! Please ..."
"Yeah well, cut to half an hour ... for me."
"Uh, to be honest, I have no idea how long this will take, because I haven't told the story to anyone yet, at least not completely!"
"Yes, start, I haven't got ...", the door opened again, only this time a little more violently and the second care, Ms. Minne stood in the door.
"Yes, what's going on now?" Asbacher, who was now visibly beside himself with anger, continued
"I just wanted to find out how you intend to continue, dear colleague."
"... oh well, hm, yes: just do a volleyball tournament, with such nice weather and the nice field that is available to us!""Should I possibly continue here?"
"NO! ... I mean, no. I think I am able to interrogate this young lady."
"Yes, I can't hope so!" The door slammed shut with a loud bang.
"Please Mr. Asbacher just let me start! I try ..."
"Yes, yes ... I know your rhetoric! No! Although, yes!"
Oh shit, I'm really a fool! Where should I start? , she thought and finally began with the following word, "Good ..." and Ann began to tell why she had to interrupt her stay for more than 14 hours and how it came to such secrecy in the first place.
