November 9, 1989

You choose the button labeled "1989" and closed your eyes as you felt your body disappear into thin air. You opened your eyes and you were in the middle of a huge, brick city. An enormous crowd of people were gathered in front of a giant wall that you assumed, separated the city in two.
"This has to be the Berlin Wall," you thought. You scanned the crowd, most people were speaking a foreign language and you looked for someone who might be able to communicate with you. You pushed through the group, calling out in English to see if someone would respond to you. Most people just stared at you, some even tossed you dirty looks.
"Hey, frau," a deep voice echoed behind you.
You turned around and were met with the cobalt eyes of a very tall German. He was extremely good looking, with a very well toned athletic body and chiseled facial features. His expression was serious and at the same time, intimidating. When you didn't respond to him, he spoke again.
"I said, can I help you out, frau?"
You shook your head quickly, breaking the spell he left you in. Then smiling politely, "Yes, sir. I don't know any German and I'm kinda just lost. Do you mind telling me what's going on here?"
"Well," he began closing his eyes. "Today is the day, where my country will finally be united."
"So, they're tearing down the Berlin Wall?"
"Yes, frau. So long have I waited for this day. We've made many mistakes in our past and have hurt many families. But, everything will be made right soon."
You looked up to him and extended your hand. "I'm (f/n). It's nice to meet you Mr. umm?"
He gazed down at you, arms still folded against his chest. "I am Ludwig. A pleasure."
You lowered your arm in embarrassment. He didn't seem very friendly, "Um, I feel as though I'm just bothering you. Would you like me to leave?"
He sighed a deep sigh as his arms fell to his sides. "No, (f/n). I apologize if I seem distant but I don't mind you with me. Is there somewhere I can take you or would you like to come with me to get a better view?"
Your face lit up. "I'd like to get closer please."
He nodded and gestured for you to follow him which you did obediently.

Ludwig led you up towards the top of the city where you were able to view the whole thing perfectly. A man in uniform stood on a platform
above the rest as he held his arm up, then he threw it down and yelled "Beginnen!"
A large group of citizens armed with sledgehammers began pounding against the wall. Dust coated the area as little by little, the wall began to give way. Pounds of rubble were tossed aside as the barrier was broken. People from both sides of the wall began running to the other sides. Lost family members gathered together, embracing those that they had lost. Citizens danced on top of the broken stones as they were free and divided city of Berlin, became one again. It was truly, a beautiful sight.
You noticed out the corner of your eye as something slipped down Ludwig's cheek. Looking up, you saw small tears streaking his face. He glanced at you and quickly wiped them away. You smiled and slipped your hand into his, fingers intertwining. Ludwig glanced down in surprise but did not removed his hand from yours.
He broke the silence. "Forgive me, I could not help it. This is just.."
"It's okay. I understand. This is a great moment for you. I don't think any less just because you show a little emotion." You beamed at him. "It just proves you're human."
He squeezed your hand slightly, "Thank you, frau."

The sun began to fade into the horizon as the moon rose to take it's place. It began to cast shadows all around the city. You happened to look at the ground and notice you didn't have a shadow. You removed your hand from Ludwig's only to see that you had begun to decolorize. He looked down at your surprised action and was met with his own surprise.
"Frau! What is happening to you?"
"I have to leave, Ludwig. I'm glad I got to spend this special moment with you."
"Wait! No.. " he trailed as he reached for you. His hand reached to grab yours, but it was nothing but just air.
